Return to “New Star Trek Movie: TEOTWAWKI”
Maybe it took longer to film because the actors couldn't stay up past their bed times.The Annoyed Man wrote:They're waiting for the child labor laws to not apply any longer?mr.72 wrote:Yeah they are waiting for the cast to get a little olderKC5AV wrote:Date says Christmas 2008, but I believe it's been pushed back to Summer 2009.
Well, the original Capt. Kirk's record of age 31 for being a Capt. is being broken by Chris Pine, who is only 28 in real life. Shatner was about 34 when he started playing Kirk.agbullet2k1 wrote:[nerd hat]
Well, in the Star Trek universe, Kirk was the youngest man to achieve the rank of captain in Starfleet. At 31, he succeeded Cpt. Christopher Pike on the U.S.S. Enterprise (NCC-1701, no "A, B, C, D" or "E"). Also, as skilled as he was in tactical situations, he also had a well deserved reputation as a bit of a ladies man. He was suave, sophisticated, charming, and a really good sweet talker. I think the look they gave for Kirk really fits with the story in those ways. As for Spock, Vulcans age slower than humans, due to they're 300+ year lifespan. The picture on the mag cover really doesn't due much justice to those two as some of the other pictures I've seen. Besides, IIRC, the original series relied heavily on current era pop culture (a la 60s) for their wardrobe and writing style. There will never be another Shatner or Nimoy, but Kirk and Spock are the characters, and as long as the director holds true to the characters' inherent qualities (oh please, oh please, oh please), they'll do just fine.

On a side note, after seeing the group picture of the crew in uniform, I think Scotty and McCoy are going to be the best recasting. Sulu and Chekov seem the weakest.
