Matt Damon To Play a Young Captain Kirk?
Do you think Matt Damon could pass for a young Captain Kirk (William Shatner)? I agree with J.J. Abrams and can see a resemblance. Here’s what Yahoo found out about the new Star Trek Movie:
Will MATT DAMON get beamed up? Could happen. I’m told J.J. ABRAMS is very interested in casting the Oscar-winning Damon as a young Captain Kirk in the upcoming ‘Star Trek’ movie that he’s directing and producing. He’s so interested that he’s apparently already sought support from the original Kirk, WILLIAM SHATNER. "Shatner gave his blessing," my source says. "J.J. got his approval." Damon first popped up in Trekkie circles as soon as the Abrams-’Star Trek’ deal was announced. Rumor had it that the new movie would center on Kirk and Spock’s early days at a space academy. "J.J. wants Damon as Capt. Kirk," my source reports. "He really loves the idea." Via Defamer [source]

I hate the idea of Damon being Captain Kirk-how about another canadian, Rick Ravenello?
He resembles kirk more and has the biceps to match.
Plus, who would like to bed more?
