Ben Affleck Is Captain Kirk?

...some others had heard that Ben has also been talking to Paramount about possibly playing a lead role ina new Star Trek film from J.J. Abrams. Apparently Abrams is coming down to visit the set in a few weeks, to visit Michelle Monaghan, whom he directed in Mission: Impossible 3, so that might add some more fuel to the fire. If it comes off, he's apparently playing the hero. Don't know if that's Captain Kirk or some other protagonist...but that's the gist of it.

Given Ben Affleck as Kirk, who would be equally good to play Spock, Dr. McCoy, Scotty, Sulu, Checkhov, Uhuru, and the rest?

Halle Berry?

After The Sum of All Fears, Ben needs a new franchise to ruin.

I know she was, but I'm invoking the BSG transgender move as precedent for making the Chief Engineer into eye candy.

"After The Sum of All Fears, Ben needs a new franchise to ruin."

That's the first thought that entered my mind. He [expletive] up Daredevil, he [expletive] up Clancy, he made Armageddon unwatchable (the only Bruce Willis movie I won't see again).

He peaked with the Jay and Silent Bob movies. Now he's just an embarassment.

If Hollywood approached the next Star Trek movie as they do every other tv-series to big screen remake...

Jack Black as Spock

Garrison Keillor as Dr. McCoy

Owen Wilson as Scotty

Ashton Kutcher as Chekhov

Queen Latifah as Uhuru

I always kind of wondered if he was sort of mildly retarded.
