Matt Damon to play Kirk

If it's really supposed to be the Academy years, Damon is too old, anyway.

Kirk has to be a captain, surely. Cadet James T. Kirk is almolst as wrong as Admiral Kirk.

Well the whole concept of doing another prequel smacks of total desperation to me.

No doubt it'll be a load of old monkey buttocks. Coz who could play Kirk other than The Shat??? No-one, that's who!

I think they should just stop making any Star Trek for a decade or two and put me out of my misery.

Why can't they just do a movie with the guy who played Welsey Crusher, or the cast of Voyager? Those actors need a job...

so, really what these studio executives are saying is something like....

the scene: large table with execs in suits
Exec 1:

well, we need a franchise that will sell, we need a name people will know, and the last money-raking cash-in went down like a $5 hooker, so will never sell a film...
a lightbulb flickers above another one's head
Exec 2:
Got it! let's ressurect the characters of a series from the 60's, let's give it huge amounts of CGI, completely rework the actors, and trust the buying public to fall for the title, like we've been selling them the last two decades... only this time, we get to use banners saying "kirk is back!
Exec 3: totting numbers into a calculator
He's onto something there. initial market figures suggest that it would immediately give us a profit
Exec 1:
Fantastic! Let's get to work right away. You! find a hack with no scruples to write a plot! You! start the PR machine rolling. You! Hide all evidence of creativity....

unfortunately I get the feeling you're not kidding...

Mind you, the idea for the movie is stupid anyway. I'd much prefer one centred around the Excelsior - maybe even with Robin Curtis on board...

Star Trek IX is NOT gonna be Star Trek IX.

It's gonna be Star Trek I.

New franchise.

The only REAL news worth quoting on it is this I feel...

On the other hand, it might be actually quite good.
Judging it now when there's nothing more than rumour, a teaser poster, and very little else is really quite daft. Matt Damon isn't a terrible actor, he certainly.. cant.. be.. worse.. than Shitner!

I think my inner Trekkie just committed suicide.
