Posted by: MacReady

Our buddie Mike from Reel Horror pointed me to a news about the new "Star Trek" movie. This belongs to the rumor mill for now, but you never know. According to scooper from Cinescape, Ben Affleck is in talks to star in Paramount's new "Star Trek" film. And of course its said that he will be the hero. Read on for a clip from the article:

.. some others had heard that Ben has also been talking to Paramount about possibly playing a lead role in a new Star Trek film from J.J Abrams. Apparently Abrams is coming down to visit the set in a few weeks, to visit Michelle Monaghan, whom he directed in Mission : Impossible 3, so that might add some more fuel to the fire. If it comes off, he's apparently playing the hero. Don't know if that's Captain Kirk or some other nameless male protagonist...

To read the complete article just click right here. Ben Affleck as Capt. Kirk or as a new hero? Why not? He did some great movies and is a good actor. I guess he could even drag some new fans to the franchise. Let's wait and see how this develops. We will keep you updated for sure.
