From Trek Web

I liked him in the Bourne movies, but is an established, big-ticket name the way to go in casting?

EmeraldEdge · « **Reply #1 on:** June 21, 2006, 06:03:27 pm »

I think it could be. Let's face it Trek alone isn't getting people in the seats anymore, especially after the insulting offerings that they were giving. Even the fans of Trek aren't going, so what do you do? I think they believe that if they cast known entities then that will help fill the seats. I just hope that the movie is worth it and they aren't just going with the same old, same old, and throwing names in the mix. Frankly, I don't think I'd mind Damon as Kirk, if done right. Sure he's not going to be like the original, but he might be able to pull it off.

Matt Damon as the "young Kirk"?

This doesn't work. Matt Damon is currenly 36. William Shatner was only 35 when he began the role of Kirk. He might could pick up the role where Shatner left off at the end of TOS, but if you want a "young" Kirk then you've got to reach younger than Damon.

Or maybe you could do what middle aged acresses do when they want to appear younger, and just give him pig tails.

That's true about the age, I didn't think of that and the whole "younger Kirk" thing. Still, I think they probably believe they need to land a big name or two to fill the seats since even Trekkies aren't going to see some of the stuff now (and it's their own fault so I don't feel bad for Paramount, but I feel for the fans now that they have a mess of a universe to deal with).

Dracho · « **Reply #4 on:** June 22, 2006, 09:14:07 am »

Damon looks like he's 12, so he could probably pull it off. He's demonstrated some depth of character in his roles, so he might just be believable.

I'd like to see Johnny Depp in Trek, as I think he's one of the most versatile actors in hollywood.

You know, Orlando Bloom might be able to pull off a Kirk.

KAT Chuut-Ritt · « **Reply #18 on:** July 16, 2006, 02:27:18 am »

Here are a few possibilities

http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/06/25/103414.php

<snip>

Captain James T. Kirk. This is the casting I read and really liked. Replacing the legendary William Shatner, Matt Damon. The guy can act, he can do action, he can shift between comedy and drama with ease, and I think he could do the character proud. The big question will be if he would go the Shatner route, or if he would employ more human-like inflections. Either way, I think Damon would be a good choice.

Commander Spock. Originally played in stoic, emotionless fashion by Leonard Nimoy, he always had this great matter of fact way of delivering lines, and having great presence with minimal motion. Who could don the pointed ears and take over as the half alien science officer? I read someone suggesting Adrien Brody, I don't think so. The name that I like is Billy Zane, he has the right voice, and facial features that look right for the role. He doesn't really look like Nimoy, but I think I could believe him as Spock.

Doctor Leonard "Bones" McCoy. There is only one person I can think of to take over the reigns from the late DeForrest Kelley, that name is Gary Sinise. He can act and has the perfect look to take on the role of the good doctor. Can't you picture Sinise entering into some verbal sparring with Zane's Spock, or one of those "I'm a Doctor" lines, or even a classic "He's dead, Jim." Sinise is the one name to consider.

Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott. None other than Austin Powers himself, Mike Myers, would be up to the task of the late James Doohan's most famous role. Take this comedic chameleon and focus his abilities on the Scottish engineer, and you could have a match made in heaven. There is no doubt that he could do the accent, and he seems to have the right physical presence for the job. Myers in this role could prove to be inspired casting.

Ensign Pavel Chekov. This is a tough one, a young Russian for the helm. Perhaps someone like Frankie Muniz? He seems to be about the right age and have the right build for it. I think the biggest question would be if he could pull off the Russian accent. I am sure a vocal coach could get him doing it, but then it would be up to the audience buying Malcolm as a bridge officer on the Enterprise. Could be interesting to see if he can put a spin on Walter Koenig's Monkee inspired role.

Lieutenant Uhura. Another tough one. How about Regina King? She is a very good actress, and I think she could take on the role of the Enterprise communication officer. She is equally adept at drama and comedy, as shown in films like Ray and Miss Congeniality 2. I would like to see her in the role originated by Nichelle Nichols.

Lieutenant Commander Hikaru Sulu. As I was thinking of names, a certain guy came to mind, but I could only think of the movie I saw him in, not the name. The film is Better Luck Tomorrow and the actor is Parry Shen. I know, Shen is Chinese and George Takei is Japanese, but that doesn't chnage my opinion that Shen would be very good in the role. I think he has the right look, and from what I saw in that aforementioned film was very good.

<Snip>

Don't like the Cekov choice, not quite sure about Myers as Scotty either. But I do like Billy Zane for Spock alot and Gary Sinise could work great as Bones. As for the other they seem pretty good choices.

KAT Chuut-Ritt · « **Reply #19 on:** July 16, 2006, 02:40:56 am »

BTW there would be an obvious choice for Sarek......Leonard Nimoy!

Also notice on the cooments of the link above, Chris Doohan wouldn't mind having a shot at his fathers role....interesting.

FPF-Tobin Dax · « **Reply #20 on:** July 18, 2006, 12:22:28 pm »

Nimoy is out of the question. He has retired from acting to be a globe trotting photographer. He was offered, but turned down a guest spot on Shatners' show because he doesn't do "that" anymore.

E_Look · « **Reply #21 on:** July 18, 2006, 09:59:15 pm »

Ballad of Bilbo Baggins
Leonard Nimoy

In the middle of the Earth, in the land of Shire,
Lives a brave little hobbit whom we all admire.
With his long, wooden pipe, fuzzy wooly toes,
He lives in a hobbit hole and everybody knows him.

Chorus:
Bilbo. Bilbo Baggins. Only 3 feet tall.
Bilbo. Bilbo Baggins. Bravest little hobbit of them all.

Now hobbits are peace lovin' folks you know,
They're never in a hurry and they take things slow,
They don't like to travel away from home,
They just want to eat and be left alone.

But one day Bilbo was asked to go,
On a big adventure to the cave below.
To help some Dwarves get back their gold,
That was stolen by a dragon in the days of old.

Chorus

Well, he fought with the goblins.
He battled a troll.
He riddled with gollum.
A magic ring he stole.
He was chased by wolves.
Lost in the forest.
Escaped in a barrel from the elf king's home.

Bilbo. Bilbo Baggins. Bravest little hobbit of them all.
Bilbo. Bilbo Baggins. Bravest little hobbit of them all.

End

Centurus · « **Reply #40 on:** August 10, 2006, 10:18:55 am »

Honestly Vipre, I don't think that would be necessary. There are many actors/actresses out there, both boxoffice names and not, with great talent and skill that could play these roles tastefully and faithfully, and I personally believe that if the director and producers cast the right people carefully, that this project could be a success. Then again, that's just me.

Matt Damon as Capt. Kirk might actually be a good choice. Keep in mind I said might. It all depends on how well he takes to the role, and how much research he does on the character. Knowing professional actors who take their trade seriously, not only will Damon be watching all the TOS episodes over and over again, same with the first 6 movies, he'll also get in touch with William Shatner and other surviving members of the cast, trying to get as much information about the character of Kirk to most effectively recreate the character to the best of his abilities.

I wonder though if Johnny Depp would ever be right for a role in this movie. His qualifications as an actor are rarely ever matched. He is truly a character actor, virtually transforming himself into the character he portrays, and if you really pay attention to his films, rarely are any two different characters of his remotely alike.

I think, if done tastefully, and decisions made carefully, this could be a success. Only time will tell.

Vipre · « **Reply #41 on:** August 10, 2006, 01:54:27 pm »

Centurus,

Don't get me wrong, what I said wasn't meant as a dismissal of any actors skill or dedication to their careers. I just feel that the "Powers in Control" of the industry might go with the hey lets milk this cow treatment rather than an honest attempt at producing a quality (story vs name/face) movie. I very much hope it's the former.

Also I agree about Depp. In Don Juan Demarco with Brando....totally believable character

(edited because I managed to spell correctly the wrong word)

Centurus · « **Reply #42 on:** August 10, 2006, 02:26:53 pm »

Ahh, then I stand corrected. The only thing I hope for is that B&B don't come anywhere near this project at all. If the people that were involved in season 4 of Enterprise have a hand to play in this project, I believe it can be done successfuly. I know many people hate Enterprise, but the 4th season was incredible. Most of the stories were not only well written, but tastefully directed and produced. The only downfall that those people had were trying to repair some of the damage that B&B did in the previous seasons, but I honestly believe if it had been given a chance, it would have worked.

What we could do is start a writing campaign to the studios begging them to make very wise decisions, not for the sake of milking the project, but for the sake of creating a quality piece of work that us Trek fans would love.

I always thought it was too bad that they did a Mirrorverse episode of Enterprise (at least I heard they did, I didn't see it). Otherwise, they could have claimed that Archer and co. were the guys who started the mirrorverse Federation on it's path (and might have made sence given the struggles they went through) then they capped it off with the whole Riker appearance. Now the 3 seasons of travesty are tied to us forever (unless a creative writer comes through and finds a way out).

Yeah the mirror episode was called "In a Mirror Darkly" I think. It had the TOS Defiant appearing in the mirror uni after it dissapeared in TOS and Archer capturing it.

"the whole Riker appearance" <-- Whats the deal with this? I didn't watch Enterprise because it wasn't on any stations where I live. (at least none I could receive)

Centurus · « **Reply #46 on:** August 11, 2006, 11:23:01 am »

Riker and Troi made an appearance in the final episode. The actual story took place during the Pegasus incident in TNG, where Riker was torn between his oath to silence and his duty to Capt. Picard about the top secret phase cloak on the Pegasus.

Troi had recommended that Riker go to the holodeck and replay the final days of the NX-01 to help him gain a perspective on what he should do, so the last episode of Enterprise was actually a historial recreation on the Ent-D holodeck.

Vipre · « **Reply #47 on:** August 11, 2006, 01:50:11 pm »

OK, several things.

1 - Where's your imagination? Sure there's a chance. All you have to do is start an episode of a later trek and have somebody coming out of a holodeck that's playing an incident where they get to be Riker going into a holodeck session about a fictional Enterprise and past that never existed. heh.

2 - B&B wouldn't have written that? I think they would have wet themselves with joy if they had only had the creativity to put together such a well thought out and entertaning storyline.

Can you imagine how long the dialogue would have taken?

i'm not gonna hit ya, Klingon bastard.... LIKE HELL!! -BIFF!- :p

You never know, it could have been shorter rather than longer. Kirk tried to convince spock that the Gorn attack meant war.

According to one of the books I read, Jack Lord was seriously considered for the role in the series, but he and his wife wanted a piece of the franchise. Book'em Spocko!
