You're calling Shatner a pretty boy?

Back in the day. A young actor cast for his look who ended up doing a memorable job.

[stockslivevan]

Difference is that Shatner looked like a man, while Pine looks like a candidate for a boy band. It's not just the actor that's wrong for the part, it's also the way he's written into the film. I mean, he's a cadet and then suddenly because he did a good job he's immediately promoted to Captain? What about the chain of command? It's just retarded the way they're putting up this movie.


Blowfeld is right, it's not Trek, it's dreck.

Star Trek opened lower than Jackman's Wolverine Friday in the USA with $24 million, vs. $34 million for the Wolfster. It appears Jackman is the 'it' guy in Hollywood, after hosting the Academy awards and being named sexiest man. This is transferring over to his films. Hear that Eon?

When people try to tell the Broccowilsons that they're screwing up, to them it sounds like the teacher from the Charlie Brown cartoons!

Shatner is NOT amused.

No he's not.

By the way I think this was the picture you were looking for

EON never choose an actor that is too big and popular at the time to play Bond. Are you telling me Connery, Lazenby, Moore, Dalton and Brozza were the biggest names in Hollywood, being named the sexiest men alive, etc. before they were picked to play Bond...?

[bjmdds]

Brosnan and Moore had TV identity prior to their Bonds. Eon could, for once, REBOOT their thinking process and for the first time pick a Bond of Jackman's stature. Change.....is a good thing sometimes....

[katied]

Craig didn't have anything to dignify himself before Bond..except for (mostly) cr*ap films. Unfortunately that hasn't changed since he became Bond

[stockslivevan]

That's right BJ, TV stars, not full blown movie stars like Jackman.

[bjmdds]

Correct. Time for Eon to shake things up and try something new.

Easier said than done. EON would rather given the fans who like the same tired formula their wish.Well, that and(maybe) more shaky cam(hasn't that trend died out yet? Sheesh. ).

Everything Eon thought was fresh in 2005, although it was going stale at the time, is moldy now. They have no plans and no ideas. Everyone is taking break from Bond and like Dalton found it is easier to stay away than it is to get back in to swing of production.

[katied]

I'm almost afraid of what EON is going to try next.That, and as Mazer pointed out,EON can't do anything that is current.Well, they do but they're a couple of years(at least) *behind* the curve.EON definitely gets a "must try harder" on that one.

[Kristatos]

Meanwhile, the summer's kick-off, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, eroded 69 percent to $26.4 million. That's a steeper decline than the previous picture, X-Men: The Last Stand, and it's also the least attended second weekend of the franchise. In ten days, Wolverine has collected a muscular $129 million. While it trails the first X-Men adjusted for ticket price inflation as well as X2: X-Men United and The Last Stand by wide margins, it would have been unrealistic to expect Wolverine to match the heights of its predecessors, given that it's a prequel that effectively limited its audience to the fan base, unlike Star Trek.

Looks like the army of Hugh Jackman fans that apparently exist weren't enough to save Wolvie this weekend.

Ouch.Well, Wolverine is the sort of movie I'd only see once.sorry BJ . I REALLY want to see Star Trek again, preferably in IMAX.

[bjmdds]

I am not a big Wolverine fan per se K-tied. I just think Jackman would do a great job in 2010 as Bond. I will see Star Trek in 2 weeks. What is with the "Siberius" vs. Tiberius?

[katied]

I gotta say..I liked Wolverine..but liked Star Trek just that little bit better.
