*readies the gun and gives it to Lordmutt*
Lets hope thats wrong, he is SOOO not Captain Kirk

[lordmutt]

Only way it could get worse is if Ben Affleck plays Spock LOL oh god that's a bad mental image

This sounds like it isn't going to be a good movie. This might kill the franchise forever

[lordmutt]

Well Enterprise and Nemises together didn't kill it so i doubt another crappy film will

But if it is as shit as it looks, it's definitely going to put trek back another few years

Well who do you think the next Captain should be. Its never easy to replace the Captain, perhaps an unknown would be better.

I'm actually thinking William Shatner - but he's dead in the trek universe

I have to agree - an unknown would be better

The latest Star Trek film is being produced by J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof. Bryan Burk, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci are the executive producers. The script is being written by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci.

             In his first comments to the press regarding his deal to produce an 11th Star Trek film (related story), J.J. Abrams says the news that was broken last week by Daily Variety was premature and somewhat erroneous.  "The whole thing was reported entirely without our cooperation," Abrams is quoted by Empire Online yesterday. "People learned that I was producing a Star Trek film, that I had an option to direct it, they hear rumors of what the thing was going to be and ran with a story that is not entirely accurate."
In addition to clarifying that he may or may not direct the film, Abrams also distanced himself from Variety's report that the plot of "Star Trek XI" would revolve around a young James T. Kirk and Spock at Starfleet Academy.  
"We've made a pact not to discuss any specifics," he said.  
At the same time, though, he confessed to being a fan of the Original Series and remarked, "Those characters are so spectacular. I just think that... you know, they could live again."

yeh i think most of the cast should be well sought out unknown actors seeing a familiar face set in a star trek movie would be wierd and wouldn't have the same effect in my opinion. most of the actors who appeared in star trek movie/series were previously unknown or heard very little of around the acting world with the small exception of a few

i mean that guy for Kirk ....nooooo way
