| Dark Horizons wrote: | Director J.J. Abrams has cast 11-year-old actor Jimmy Bennett ("Hostage," "Firewall," "Poseidon") as a young James Kirk in "Star Trek", opening in theaters on Christmas Day reports Coming Soon.
The older Kirk is played by Chris Pine in the film. Bennett is expected to be sharing flashback scenes with Kirk's father, played by Aussie soap hunk Chris Hemsworth.
Scribe Roberto Orci meanwhile has answered more questions at TrekMovie and confirmed that now shooting on the Enterprise bridge is done, the set has been packed up and put in storage for future use.
Primary influences were second, third, fourth and sixth films, the original series episode "Balance of Terror" (which introduced the Romulans) and the novels of Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens.
James T. Kirk and the film's villain (Nero) were the most difficult characters to write, whilst the script ended up being 128 pages long in total. |
I didn't realise we were going younger into Kirk's life?  I wonder how this plays into things?

Why's he got the noose round his neck?!! Is William Shatner still annoyed about not being in it and the kid is?!!  |

Hopefully he will be now babe
In a way I hope aswell this thing is not going to be like the Enterprise episodes where it used to do flashbacks of Archer as a kid with his Dad? And its necesary to have him as a kid in the first place?
