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."

    If "disco" means "I learn" in Latin, does "discothèque" mean "I learn technology"?
  2. Did Anyone Else Read It As "Chris Pike"? by pandrijeczko · · Score: 0, Redundant

    i.e. The severely injured original captain of the Enterprise from "The Menagerie" who was left totally wheelchair bound and beeping once for "Yes" and two for "No"?
