Paramount Casts New James T. Kirk

Posted by Zonk on from the finally dept.

Tycoon Guy writes "TrekToday reports that Paramount is in talks with 27-year old actor Chris Pine to play the role of Captain Kirk in the new 'Star Trek' film. Pine is almost completely unknown, but he's also being courted to star opposite George Clooney in 'White Jazz,' so he's being called "the hottest new actor in town." In addition, 'Hulk' actor Eric Bana was cast today as Nero, the main villain of Trek XI."

    Just don't go. Problem solved. Let the rest of us enjoy it. The end, everyone wins.

    I've never understood why some people think their memories of some sort of media will be ruined if a new product, one they don't have to go see or experience, is released.
