Awful Star Trek Rumors

Just when I was really getting excited about Star Trek XI and actually beginning to believe that Paramount (the worst studio, ever!) was going to let J.J. Abrams do his stuff without making too many untoward demands (as evidenced by the very eclectic, and not terribly box-office-friendly, cast), comes this bit of news.

Apparently they are considering Chris Pine and Mike Vogel for the role of one Captain James T. Kirk.

William Shatner, Chris Pine, Mike Vogel

Pine, of course, has done stellar work in such classics as Just My Luck and The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (not half as good as The Princess Diaries 1).

Vogel, of course, has done stellar work in such classics as Grind, Supercross, and two pointless remakes: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Poseidon.

Say it ain't so J.J.! Say it ain't so!
