The Hollywood trades are reporting that Chris Pine may be out as JJ’s fake Han Solo Luke Skywalker Kirk for the upcoming JJ Star Trek 4.
Box office poison Pine, hot off the heels staring of blankly in the crappy Oprah bomb and everything else he’s been in besides the first Star Trek and Wonder Woman, reportedly walked away from the franchise over a salary dispute.
See ya later, Chris. Liked you in Wonder Woman for what it’s worth, you make a fucking great Steve Trevor.
The answer is simple, bring back the real James T. Kirk, William Shatner for one last hurrah.
As seen in Ant-Man, the CGI de-aging tech is now essentially flawless and seamless. We literally saw a 40-year-old Michael Douglas and 30-year-old Michelle Phifer on screen this summer. So why not Shatner for Star Trek?
The man still is a competitive equestrian and runs circles around people half his age.
All he needs is a crash diet and some Hollywood personal training and he’s good to go. If anyone in Hollywood was made to be de-aged with the CGI it’s Shatner.
The movie would make a mint based on the novelty alone.
Shatner is James T. Kirk and I want to see him one punch KO a Klingon one more time and beat a demigod in a battle of mental chess.
