Just for kicks I’d like to see Matt Damon as Kirk, Beyonce as Uhura, Charlie Sheen as Scotty, David Caruso as Spook (He’d have to die his hair) and Jeff Foxworthy as Bones
Some crazy picks there. I would have went with Sheen for Bones maybe, they are both kind of ornery rebel types.
Over on chud.com, they have thousands of post threads about recasting movies, with actors from any time period, with different directors, writers, etc. It is pretty hilarious stuff. So, by their rules, here is my recast:
Star Trek - as directed by John Carpenter
Starring:
Kurt Russell as James T. Kirk
Jeff Bridges as Spock
James Woods as Leonard “Bones” McCoy
Stacey Keach as Montgomery Scott
Pam Grier as Uhura
Dennis Dun as Sulu
Adrienne Barbeau as Nurse Chapel
