We asked you…
Relatively unknown actor Chris Pine plays young Kirk in the new Star Trek movie. Who would you have cast in that role?
You told us…
"James Franco should have been the young Kirk in the new Star Trek movie. He would be this quirky, on the edge and raw emotional character similar, yet different, than the original Kirk, William Shatner."
—Linda Jong, Toronto, ON
"Christopher Walken. They can computer-generate Brad Pitt to look younger and older in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, so they could definitely mix Mr. Walken’s excellent acting into a younger version of himself."
—Mitch Boudreau, Ennismore, ON
"Ryan Reynolds. I thought he did an amazing impression of Kirk in an episode of Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place."
—David Adema, Richmond, B.C.
"Joshua Jackson. He has that same Shatner swagger and cockiness Trek fans have grown to know and love. If not him, then why not Shatner!? Oh that’s right, he’s 90."
—Bruce Dmitrienko, Waterloo, ON
"Michael Cera. Although better known as a comedy actor, he could carry off a dramatic role with ease given his many nuanced facial expressions. Slick the hair back and bulk him up a bit though."
—Nicholas James-Bock, Toronto, ON
