I like Matt Damon, but not as Captain Kirk.

trekchick · « **Reply #4 on:** July 07, 2006, 04:56:46 PM »

you would think they would TRY to find someone who looked like william shatner 50 years ago... like they did for patrick stewart for nemisis, they said they went through god only knows how many people to find someone that kinda looked like him AND act.

matt damon looks nothing like shatner

dcrog · « **Reply #5 on:** July 07, 2006, 05:04:05 PM »

Plus Shatner never could act.

:bolts

But he is the only Kirk.

i agree... in my eyes, he is probably the most successful, untalented man in the world.

i tried to read one of his book before... it was horrible, and half the times, the story strayed... needless to say, i never finished it

but he was capt. kirk, and still, the only one.

I disagree. Shatner is actually more actor than we usually get on TV. Trained as a classical Shakespearean actor. Solid credentials and very good early track record. The campiness of the Kirk role is there because the whole show was camp. Shatner injected it with something worthwhile and very much needed. Imagine the series without him -- it wouldn't work on any level. Watch him closely with new eyes -- he is so frikken in the moment. He created that character. He gave Kirk life. If that isn't good acting, then what is? Also, if what Brando does is "acting", then so is what Shatner does.

Dude. It takes talent to be able to act in a foreign language

dcrog · « **Reply #9 on:** July 07, 2006, 06:18:59 PM »

I guess you're right pb. Kirk did do that scene in Klingon in ST:III while standing on the planet that was erupting under his feet.

They should do something to revive Star Trek but having someone else play Kirk is a bad idea. Shatner is Kirk and Kirk is Shatner.

They would need to get someone to get the book worm side of Kirk. He didn't turn in the the out going, womanising, shoot first, captin we all know and love untill after he had been in SF for a while.

Picard is, and always will be the king of startrek. I could see Rowan Atkinson as the new Captain. He has a face for radio.

Last I had heard, Bryan Singer and Chris Nolan had both expressed interest. Personally I'd like to see movie involving the entire Trek Universe, TNG to DS9. Even the Dr. from Voyager (the rest of them can rot in hell for all I care). But sweet tap dancing zombie Jesus, don't re-tread old ground with the tired Kirk shite. Let the character die. Maybe they could even Ultimize the Trek 'verse. That could be cool...

May the creative team behind Voyager die of fin-rot and burn in hell.

I think you probably heard that they would consider asking Matt Damon to do the part of Kirk. It isn't something a decent casting director would do to actually cast him as Kirk, nor do I think he'd be all too interested.

As for Rowan Atkinson playing Picard, that would be interesting. But he holds a special place in my heart as Blackadder.

I think if they're going to make another Trek movie, then it should be true to the series. Bring Shatner back and have the movie be like "Forty years later and they're still stuck in space." There can be no other Kirk.

TRAHALD · « **Reply #19 on:** July 29, 2006, 12:06:51 PM »

No bullshit, Jack.

Scheherazade · « **Reply #20 on:** July 29, 2006, 12:08:59 PM »

My...God, Matt Damon really is...

Kirk.

Can someone please tell me why he's the only actor being credited as cast?

sociald1077 · « **Reply #21 on:** July 29, 2006, 02:29:22 PM »

I really dont have a problem with Matt Damon. And after looking at some pictures of him, I think he cloud pull off a young Kirk.

Scheherazade · « **Reply #22 on:** July 29, 2006, 02:30:48 PM »

You know who I really liked on Star Trek? Alan Ruck as Harriman. He probably won't be in the movie, though...

How right you are!

Ben Affleck is to movies as Lance Bass is to music; he has no talent and sooner or later he'll turn out to be gay.
