Chris Pine CONFIRMED as Kirk in Star Trek Posted on Monday, October 15th, 2007 at 12:27 pm by: Peter Sciretta
Chris Pine has dropped out of playing Junior Stemmons in Joe Carnahans White Jazz, which means hes 100% confirmed to play Kirk in JJ Abrams Star Trek. I know, I know, we already had a Carnahan story earlier today, but this is some breaking news as Pine was undecided when the news broke a couple days back that he was Abrams final choice for the role of Kirk.
It looks like the cast of Star Trek XI is coming together ... all that's left is Captain Pike, and Bones McCoy.
Here's a picture of the cast so far ...

Not old enough.
This guy would be a great "Bones"...........
Dr McCoy is Karl Urban, you might remember him as Eomer in The Lord of the Rings Trilogy.

You can’t just recast magic.
Hopefully this will have a good of a plot as TFF, and the box office of Nemesis.
Silar is a Vulcan??? Who knew?
Mr. Sulu & Kumar Go to White Castle?
I mostly consider this new movie to be just short of blasphemy, but Uhura, rowrrrrrr.
Yes, Bertram “Bertie” Wooster would be a good choice.
>> Not old enough.
I think the movie is a prequel to the Original Star Trek series.

Even better. He's a Vulcan clone. I wonder how many times before he was cast in this role that people said, "You know, you really look like Leonard Nemoy. Are you sure the guy you call Dad is your real Dad?"
This is a prequel to Startrek TOS. They are supposed to be college age.
He's a dead ringer for Leonard Nimoy, though. I've like him as Sylar in Heroes, and he was good in 24 a couple of years back. Should be a good Spock.

Yeah Cranky I wonder if he is young enough I think McCoy was older I THINK
"...but can he over-act?"
Bones was older than the others.............
Actually, I’m kind of looking forward to it.
They’ve done a good job recently of reinvigorating James Bond (Daniel Craig), Batman (Christain Bale) and Superman (Brandon Routh).
I’d like to see Trek reinvigorated as well. J.J. Abrams, the guy who did Alias and Lost, is the director. Its been a while since Kirk was in a movie, so it seems a good time to reinvent the original cast. Nimoy is supposed to be in the movie as an older Spock, and I think they’re trying to work Shatner in, too ... hopefully it’ll work.

The Star Wars prequels, while they made money, were artistic flops. The Star Trek "Enterprise" prequel was mediocre at best. Maybe, just maybe, the ought not make a prequel!
Merely a clever ploy to disguise the fact that Hollywood is completely out of ideas. I'm pulling for Grahame Frost to play Kirk in the pre-prequel "Star Trek: The Junior High Years!".
