There are some rumors that JJ Abrams has cast Matt Damon to play a young James T. Kirk in the upcoming Star Trek XI. At first, I was upset about this news. Damon is no James T. Kirk — there can only be one James T. Kirk, and that one is William Shatner. That being said, I guess Damon would make an OK young Kirk. Now, that being said, I realized: This is an odd numbered Star Trek movie, it’s going to be a bad one. Maybe I’ll wait for DVD.

It has been a while since we have had an “Original” Star Trek movie… So maybe the even/odd rule may not apply. Think of how good the “Batman Returns” was compare to the previous Batman movies.
Me, I am waiting for the “Teenage Mutan Ninja Turtles” movie next March…

Shatner can deliver all the lines, and Damon can lip sync.
It could work!

But can Damon do the Kirk shoulder hunch?
Also Kirk has a unique view or aliens:
It’s an Alien!!! (which means
a) Kill it…
b) have sex with it…
