Ain't It Cool News is reporting that Chris Pine (The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement, Smokin' Aces) has been cast in the role of James Tiberius Kirk in what is now simply titled Star Trek. I guess he must be able to emote while using exaggerated hand gestures, accompanied by awkward pauses in dialogue. In other words, he can imitate Kevin Pollak.
I am so excited about this version of Star Trek my head is about to explode. It was the Simon Pegg casting that put me over the top.
ReplyDeleteIt could be good. I just hope they actually "go out on a mission," but it sounds like the story covers the Enterprise crew during their time in Starfleet Academy.
ReplyDeleteI would pay money to watch Simon Pegg, John Cho, and Sylar sit at a table and take the written Starfleet Academy exam for two hours. But I see your point.
