A Trek thought
I don’t have many of them. But this 40th anniversary business is getting me thinking about Matt Damon playing a “young” Kirk in a JJ Abrams-directed version of “Ultimate Trek” or whatever it’s going to be called.
Some facts for you (unless IMDB is wrong, which is always possible):
Damon: born 10-08-1970. he will be 36 (at least) when the new project films.
Shatner: born 03-22-1931. Unless my math is wrong, he was 35 in 1966 when Trek first started filming.
So to recap: We’re going to revive the franchise by showing “Young Trek” from before the original series happened. To do that, we’ve cast a guy as “Young Kirk” who is older than “Old Kirk” was in the original series.
I’m now done thinking about Trek, most likely until the 50th anniversary.
