Never seen him in anything, but looking at his head shot... OK

The funny thing is Bill lets his gut hang out and always has (except maybe in TJ hooker)

I think acting as Captain Kirk is 80% attitude, coupled with 20% of the look.

I'm really not sure if ANYONE can pull it off.

I mean, Captain Kirk IS William Shatner.

If this guy or ANYONE DOES act like Shatner he's gunna look like Kevin Pollack :)

If he DON'T act like Shatner, they'll say he's a dud and is no Kirk.

I think this is going to be a lose-lose scenario for anyone who takes the role.

I know I've brought this up before, but my prime example for recasting a role is David Arquette as Augustus McRae in "Dead Man's Walk", the sequel to "Lonesome Dove". Arquette tried WAY too hard to ape Robert Duvall, and became a cariacture of him.

This poor guy has it even worse, playing an iconic character we've gotten to know over 40 years, and playing him at around the same age we met him as portrayed by Shatner.

I wish these guys luck, and I hope they pull it off. But I have my doubts.

I think he could pull it off,he's a good actor and he's got the look,what else does Kirk really need,now all he has to do is sleep with every single alien female out there and he's good to go :grin:

Hmm. Maybe. They'll have to take the "pretty boy" look down a few notches. T1K is correct in saying that Kirk is 80% attitude--never seen this guy in anything before. So that just leaves McCoy out of the big three right? He hasn't been cast yet unless I missed it (entirely possible)

Actually, just found this (article just came out today??) about the casting of McCoy:

I remember this guy from lord of the rings

wow that's awesome I love Karl Urban,he played Eomer one of my favorite characters,he was great in Pathfinder and Chronicles of Riddick ,He would've been good for Kirk

[Count Creepyhead]

The 27-year-old Pine is one of Hollywood's hottest young actors right now

Yuck, we have a problem. Why can't these uncreative casting people find some unknowns...instead of hip, hot list actors...lame.

Lost in space anyone.....

This says it all...

hmmmm..good luck...DOES look a bit overly "pretty boy" to me...but if that works...that's cool

[toys2cool]

you guys should give him a chance he might surprise you,trust me he could lose that pretty boy look,if anyone saw Smokin' Aces you know there was nothing pretty there :grin:

OMG Simon Pegg is Scotty? Lee=SOLD! :smiley1:

I have made a vow to myself that I have to see every movie Simon Pegg does in the theater! I like the fella they got to play Spock, DEAD ON!(Spock has always been my fav) Urban as Bones? I dunno about that, and cat they got to play Kirk *pauses and scratches head* don't know about that either. :sarky:

As my grandmother (R.I.P.) Always said, "Well see..........."

[Meule]

As far as looks go all the chosen actors seem like good choices to me

[The Bat]

I'm now worried.:confused: I've been trying to be optimistic , and open minded about this Movie...but now...I don't know. I just don't see this Guy as Kirk.:no: I really wish they had got Matt Damon.:please_y:

[toys2cool]

I think they look great so far,and now I read this -while Australian actor Eric Bana will play the villain, Nero. AWESOME!! I'm a huge Bana fan as well :grin:
