JJ Abrams to be released from hell

Here’s one for the QM:

But before the action could commence, the panel addressed recent announcements by “Lost” Director JJ Abrams and crew concerning the developing Star Trek prequel movie. Dispelling the false rumor that Matt Damon would star as James T. Kirk, Abrams earlier confirmed as true the rumor that 30 year old Zachary Quinto, who plays the popular villain Silar on NBC’s Heroes television show, would portray the role of Spock in the new film. Additionally, Leonard Nimoy would be appearing in the film.

I take it that means no Tom Cruise.

    I can see Sylar as Spock. Good call on that.

    Matt Damon would’ve made a good Kirk.

    I’ve never seen Heroes, but at least that guy looks somewhat right for the part. Assuming he can act a bit (how hard can it be?) he’ll probably be OK.

    We already know that Damon can play a Vulcan), but I don’t know how he’d be as Kirk. That might be because he’s famous enough that he’d bring some baggage to the role, though - which is why I think it’d be better to have relatively new faces.
