Seriously Paramount, give us some real information on Star Trek XI soon, or we'll tear ourselves to pieces. We can't take much more of this.
Forget every rumor you've heard about Trek casting over the past few months. We're back to square one again.
Remember how William Shatner confirmed that he'd been contacted about being in J.J. Abram's new Trek prequel? Forget it. He's now contradicting himself. On his official site he now says, "There are lots of underground rumblings about STAR TREK. Some of it is burbling, some of it is barely noticeable. I know nothing except that where’s there’s rumblings, there’s gas and in this case, the gas is coming from JJ Abrams and none of it seems to be directed in my direction."
Confused yet? Wait, there's more. Remember all the rumors about how Matt Damon was being approached to be Kirk? Remember how Abrams' approached Shatner about getting his blessing to cast Damon? Well apparently he wants him so bad that he's not even returning his calls. IESB asked Matt Damon about it at a recent press junket, and Matt denies everything. Apparently he hasn't heard anything from Abrams or Paramount. His publicist even went so far as to admit that they've even been calling around to Matt's talent agency to see for themselves if there have been any inquiries, and the answer is absolutely no.
The fact that Damon has his people checking on the project makes me think that perhaps he's interested in doing it, but if nobody offers it to him then it's going to be kind of tough for him to take it. What's going on with Star Trek XI? It's anybody's guess. At this rate there's a good chance that the Enterprise will end up being crewed by nothing but tribbles. They'll work for scale. Meanwhile, I'm going to my quarters with… a headache.
