Star Trek XI - Movie news & rumors -warning, may contain spoilers

I think this warrants a thread of it's own for us to discuss the rumours about the direction the franchise is taking.

So far we know that JJ Abrams is at the helm but at this point there's no confirmation that he'll direct.

Latest rumour is that he's looking to cast Matt Damon as a young James Kirk

Baaa, I'd rather see a DS9, Voyager, or even an Enterprise movie rather than a TOS prequel (since that series has already had 6 ½ movies), but maybe that's just me.

I would rather they go with DS9, or Voyager too. Or maybe even combine casts or something. Have one huge ass movie!!

I can't say that I'm thrilled with the idea of another prequel. With all the established canon, they'll have to be really careful to take into account everything that has already happened.

According to trekweb.com

Quote:
William Shatner is happy with the idea of Matt Damon playing the new young Captain Kirk in J.J. Abrams' upcoming Star Trek film. "I think its great. The tragedy is that when somebody else is playing you younger, you're really old." he told USA Today.com. (Jul 06)

to Damon as Kirk. And to casting new actors in the roles belonging to Shatner and Nimoy. And to yet more mucking around with prequels when the Trek universe should be moving forward.

Let's really get the young audience:

Ashton Kutcher as Kirk, James Van der Beek as Spock, Beyonce as Uhura, and Tom Welling as Bones.

Although Tom Welling might be interesting as Bones.

I agree, it has to be packed full of Spock.
