chris pine http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1517976/

i did like him as one of the psycho brothers in "smokin aces"

also noted that eric bana (the hulk) is the bad guy villain "nero" (apparently the villain is some sort of disk burning software

)

read this on /. and trek today

while pine is a relatively unknown new actor, he at least looks a little like kirk and won't have any preconceived ideas about him like matt damon would have. i guess we will just have to see how he does. good luck buddy, you have some fanatics watching you and they don't give praise easily.

Actually not a bad choice. Interesting to note that the age difference between him and Quinto is almost the same as the difference between Kirk and Spock and in the same way.
