Nimoy is out of the question. He has retired from acting to be a globe trotting photographer. He was offered, but turned down a guest spot on Shatners' show because he doesn't do "that" anymore.

Ballad of Bilbo Baggins
Leonard Nimoy

In the middle of the Earth, in the land of Shire,
Lives a brave little hobbit whom we all admire.
With his long, wooden pipe, fuzzy wooly toes,
He lives in a hobbit hole and everybody knows him.

Chorus:
Bilbo. Bilbo Baggins. Only 3 feet tall.
Bilbo. Bilbo Baggins. Bravest little hobbit of them all.

Now hobbits are peace lovin' folks you know,
They're never in a hurry and they take things slow,
They don't like to travel away from home,
They just want to eat and be left alone.

But one day Bilbo was asked to go,
On a big adventure to the cave below.
To help some Dwarves get back their gold,
That was stolen by a dragon in the days of old.

Chorus

Well, he fought with the goblins.
He battled a troll.
He riddled with gollum.
A magic ring he stole.
He was chased by wolves.
Lost in the forest.
Escaped in a barrel from the elf king's home.

Bilbo. Bilbo Baggins. Bravest little hobbit of them all.
Bilbo. Bilbo Baggins. Bravest little hobbit of them all.

End

 ;D

This is the first time anyone's ever needed me, and you caught me at a bad time.  I was on the throne making a delivery.

Now this proves that even Stormtroopers take their cues from Captain Kirk.

Yipes.

Takei still looks more like Sulu and Nimoy still looks more like Spock than Shatner looks like Kirk anymore.

If they made TOS today and hired Shatner, he might play Harry Mudd.

Or Kirk's father, or maybe grandfather.

seconded.  But I wouldn't hire Shatner for a new Trek.  Especially not in his time period.  It would just be wrong!

Make him an admiral in the 24th Century, behind a desk, having flashbacks of his glory days every 3 seconds.  Just kidding.  :-D

Personally, I'd like to see some of his books adapted for the big screen.  I think they would work out if done tastefullly and creatively.

Nope.  Matt Damon was in the Bourne Identity and Bourne Supremacy, Oceans Eleven remake, Oceans 12, the up coming Oceans 13.  He also played the fallen angel Loki in the movie Dogma.  He also did Good Will Hunting. 

Don't know the name of the guy who's the new Superman.

Why not just sign the entire cast of Ocean's 11, 12 and 13?? Bam instant mega box office!!  :puke:
Please I beg in the name of all that is holy, cast unknowns for a TOS prequel. Or have a heart and let the franchise die with whatever shred of dignity it may still possess
