If the Star Trek movie makes a killing at the box office, we will be saying “booo” to one of our favorite actors, Matt Damon, for turning down the role of Captain Kirk. But then again, its not as if Matt is lacking in lead roles and good projects. In fact, we’re looking forward to his next movie,The Human Factor. Still, we would like to “boo” Matt Damon and a Star Trek blockbuster may be our only chance.
Says Director J.J. Abrams on Matt turning down the Captain Kirk role: “I actually approached Matt and we had some discussions, but everything happens for a reason. On the one hand, it would have been great to work with Matt – but at the end of the day, it was such a better move to cast the movie with unknowns.”
“It is fun to discover the stars of tomorrow, but even more so, just like with the first Star Wars, you didn’t know who those people were when you saw the movie. You believed that guy was Luke Skywalker. You didn’t recognise him from six other movies. You bought into who this guy was. It is a slippery slope when you cast any actor that is somewhat known. We weren’t beholden to any fame meter.”
