His POSEIDON ship sunk, but is Vogel the new Captain of the Enterprise?

Is this a good thing or a bad thing? I have seen two movies starring Mike Vogel, who IESB are claiming is the front runner for Captain Kirk but I don’t remember who he is. Those movies were POSEIDON and THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE remake.

It’s probably good that I won’t associate him with any other role but damn, he’s hardly been memorable to me at all.

I think this is going to be the guy folks. I’ve said it before on this site, you just get a feeling when a name gets mentioned that this will be the guy they go for. I had that feeling when Zachary Quinto was first mentioned for Spock and I’m getting that feeling again.

Mike Vogel will be Captain Kirk.

He’s 28 and from Pennsylvania and another big hint on this one is that the actor is in the Abrams produced monster movie opening in January, so Abrams is certainly aware of who this guy is.

So there you have it. Good or bad?

I have nothing to say on this one. Remember the days when Matt Damon was always up for the role? I miss those times.

Im having a hard time givin a s**t about stupid stupid star trek. yeah i know i sound childish but I cant help it. Star Trek is LAME. I want to hear about Abrams”Cloverfield” or whatever its called. Hell gimme some news about how Abrams is coming along with Dark Tower talks. Now that would be news. Not some no name crappy remake of crappy movies, and tv shows. Ok. I will admit I really didn’t mind watching the one with all the purple blood floating in the begining. SEE I CANT EVEN REMEMBER THE DAMN NAME. fweew, I feel better!

He’s a handsome enough guy, I guess. but isn’t a he tad young to play Kirk?
Oh well, for me Shatner is Kirk and any attempt to “reboot” or “update” him is doomed to die aborning.

The name is slightly familar to me but I have no idea of what he can do. He does look a bit like the Shat. I’m more of a Star Wars man myself, of the Star Trek films I like Wrath of Khan probably best.

[...] reaction to this is the same as it was for Mike Vogel a few weeks back (they kinda look the same too). I don’t really know who he is and I preferred it when the [...]
