2005 Star Trek Reboot Cast

So, apparently toward the end of Enterprise's run, J. Michael Straczynski, of Babylon 5 fame, was trying to pitch a concept for a Star Trek reboot. It would have retold the tale of the original series, but would have been radically different in many ways. Ideas tossed around included making Scotty a woman, tribbles vicious, etc. Paramount was all burnt-out on Trek by 2005, however, and didn't even want to discuss it.

What if, though, Enterprise gets cancelled one or two seasons earlier, and they are more willing to listen to J, on one condition: he retools it as a film script. Who could be some notable actors cast as Kirk, Spock, Bones and the rest?

What about Richard Dean Anderson as Kirk?

I know it's a somewhat unusual choice but I think he'd be pretty good at it and surely he'd have time when he wasn't doing SG1 Episodes.
 
Hugh Laurie as Bones?:D

That sounds awesome.

Yeah, really, when you know Kirk was supposed to be, oh, Ashton Kutcher's age.:eek:

Hmm... Kiefer'd be good, if you want a genuine badass Kirk.:p

For a second there, I thought you were actually suggesting Ashton Kutcher be cast as Kirk....*shudders*

While Kiefer is badass enough to play Kirk, I don't know if he could really pull it off. Or rather, I don't know if I'd like that. :p
 
Boldly go where no series has gone before -
Kirk .. .. .. Russell Brand
Spock .. .. Felicia Pearson
McCoy .. .. Charlie Sheen
Scotty .. .. Billy Connolly.

I really like Billy Connolly, but seriously, Charlie Sheen?:eek: Martin Sheen, yes.

And, to boldy go even farther....

Kirk--Ashley Judd
Spock--Karyn Parsons
McCoy--Diana Muldaur
Scotty--Maureen O'Hara
Sulu--Grace Park
Uhuru--Christopher Judge:p
 
And just when you thought that things could not get any worse:

Kirk --- Zac Efron
Spock --- Ahsley Tisdale
McCoy --- Corbin Bleu
Scotty --- Cole Sprouse
Sulu --- Brenda Song
Uhura --- Raven Symone
 
Plenty of ways to make it way worse.

Kirk: Kevin Kostner
Spock: Michael Jackson - he was still alive at the time.
McCoy: Russell Howard
Scotty: That guy who did the "Oh my Goooooooooooo..............." from Trolls 2
Sulu: Jason Momoa

Well to be fair Jason Momoa isn't a bad actor. He's just been in bad movies (like Conan for example). Though granted he would not be a good Sulu.

I do have one serious idea. Kirk -- Ethan Hawke.

This actually has some precedent: when they first proposed the movie Star Trek: The Academy Years (which was eventually scrapped and they made Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country instead) Hawke was very seriously considered to play Cadet Kirk. And if Enterprise was cancelled circa 2003, Hawke would be 33 years old at the time -- pretty much exactly the right age to play Captain Kirk.

Hmm... interesting idea.
