Oh, snap. I may have to become a Christian just for the occasion.
Casting rumors are here. Quoth he: “the roles of James T. Kirk, Mr. Spock and Dr. McCoy may go to three very big name stars: [Matt] Damon, Adrien Brody and Gary Sinise.” Sinise could use the work, but damn, those other two? I guess it’s possible. Matt Damon: Kirk :: Ewan Macgregor: Obi-Wan? Make it work, people.
(I’ve blogged about the Abrams-Trek Industrial Complex here. Shatner himself — the ghost of Kirksmas past — has a few comments here.)
