Apparently a former vampire makes a good Kirk.......They are remaking TOS, they just called it Strange New Worlds.
There is no replacing Kirk. I hate reboots and recasting in general but the sheer ***king hubris of the Kurtzman gang to try and reboot Kirk takes things to another level.Apparently a former vampire makes a good Kirk.......
Again, for us "Super Recognizers" this is as close a William Shatner is to my freakin' living room table Not close!I never relised how much Thomas Jane "Miller from the Expance" looks like young William Shatner until I saw this picture. I had to do a double take to make sure t wasn't actually William Shatner. View attachment 1699594
Star Trek has been an absolute mess since the reboots in 2009.

I thought Vic Mignogna played a convincing Kirk on Star Trek Continues.

More than that, Vic studied Shatner's acting precisely. I don't necessarily share the fact he was a 'dead ringer' for his facial features, but his acting was totally Shatner. I would have loved a new ST series if he was in it. All the actors on ST Continues, really did an amazing job.In certain shots and in certain lighting, he was a dead ringer for him. Even his exercise regimen to get that 60's Shat bod, produced only by lifting weights and eating lots of sandwiches.
I'm undecided, haven't seen enough of this new guy in action. I know there is no replacing Shatner but they could have done better. If he turns out to be a bad ass, and suave with the green ladies I may change my mind. I like the SNW kirk better than the Star Trek Continues guy though, as far as Kirkness.

While his physicality was right, his voice was far too nasally to match Shatner’s Kirk.
One thing that never seems to get mentioned is the rich sound of the voices of the actors from classic Star Trek. No modern version captures it….perhaps it was the unfiltered cigarette smoking of the era…
