Frankie Posted November 11, 2007 Report Posted November 11, 2007 Yet another ex HAA star in a Si fi venture... following the news that Jason"Robbie" Smith is to star in Power Rangers comes the news that Chris "Kim" Hemsworth is to play James T Kirk's Dad in the latest Trekkie prequel. seeHERE
emmasi Posted November 11, 2007 Report Posted November 11, 2007 24-year-old Hemsworth will be playing young James T. Kirk's father, George Samuel Kirk Sr. According to the site, when he read for the part, the filmmakers, including Abrams, were so blown away by him that he was offered the role on the spot. Hah! That's awesome . Eeee I'm so excited. I picked some good people to fall in love with! lol. I knew they wouldn't leave me for too long... *rocks back and forth and waits to see them again... soon... soon....*
bttb-rox! Posted November 11, 2007 Report Posted November 11, 2007 I was sooooo tempted to post news of this last night! My brother found the article on a website yesterday and was rather intrigued. But as I wasn't completely sure whether it was true, I decided not to post. Silly me . If I see the film (my brother is a Trek fan so I probably will), i'll just be thinking that it's Kim all of the time though!

Pierced Musie Posted November 11, 2007 Report Posted November 11, 2007 I predicted Chris H would be cast on Heroes. Considering the guy who plays Sylar has been cast in the new Star Trek movie, I was so friggin close!
emmasi Posted November 12, 2007 Report Posted November 12, 2007 Don't make me revive that Heroes/H&A crossover Musie... I don't even know where I'd find it Kim had fire...
Mez83 Posted November 12, 2007 Report Posted November 12, 2007 All I could think of while I was reading this is Kim singing: "Star Trekkin' across the universe, On the Starship Enterprise under Captain Kirk. Star Trekkin' across the universe, Boldly going forward 'cuz we can't find reverse."
emmasi Posted November 12, 2007 Report Posted November 12, 2007 lol, Kim would totally sing that I'm trying to deal with the thought that he's essentially been cast as William Shatner's father . I've been amusing myself by wondering if he'll have the same spoken-word-album phrasing hehehehe...
Formerly Known as FKAJ Posted November 12, 2007 Report Posted November 12, 2007 Actually, he's playing Chris Pine's father - who he's still 3 years younger than. But I've got no problem with a flashback apperance. I look forward to Zachary Quinto as Spock - he definitely has the eyebrows.
emmasi Posted November 12, 2007 Report Posted November 12, 2007 Shatner was the original Kirk though, right? Obviously he won't be in this, because he's about 70 now, and this is a prequal so... that wouldn't work at all. Also, his character was killed off at a much younger age than he is now so it doubly wouldn't work. I'm not a Trekkie, but I did see a William Shatner biography once . I was mostly in it for Boston Legal. All that aside, I'm gonna keep having fun with my imaginings *Imagines Chris doing a spoken-word performance of "The Real Slim Shady" ala Shatner in Futurama...* "How can you do a spoken-word version of a rap song!?" "He FOUND a way..."
