J.J. Abrams, creator of Lost and Alias, is directing and producing. Apparently it will be a complete re-boot of the franchise, a la Batman Begins and Superman Returns.
Below is an excerpt from an IGN Movies article that confirms rumors that Matt Damon, Adrien Brody and Gary Sinise are in talks to star in the movie. http://movies.ign.com/articles/767/767783p1.html QUOTE Confirming rumors that have been making the rounds for some months now, IGN has learned that Oscar winner Matt Damon is indeed in talks with Paramount about playing the role of Jim Kirk, previously immortalized onscreen by Emmy winner William Shatner.
Damon brings star power and an acting pedigree to the role that should convince audiences that this is a serious reboot of the beloved franchise. For the part of Kirk's Vulcan first officer Mr. Spock, IGN has been told that none other than Oscar winner Adrien Brody (King Kong, The Pianist) is in talks with Paramount to play the role. If cast, Brody would succeed Leonard Nimoy in a role that forever marked Nimoy's career. But with a Best Actor award already under his belt and an eclectic mix of films on his resume, Brody wouldn't have as much to lose by taking on the iconic role as Nimoy had. IGN has also been told that Oscar nominee Gary Sinise -- currently seen on the small screen in CSI: NY -- is in talks for the role of Dr. McCoy, the ornery and politically incorrect ship's physician aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise. McCoy's prickly relationship with Spock was the basis of much of the humor and humanity of the original 1960s series. The late DeForrest Kelley played "Bones" on TV. |

Yes, but this is the first time it's been announced by Paramount. And it appears that Damon WILL be Kirk. -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM) Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!
