Again (#70) Lohr would be a much better choice that Matt Damon (who in my opinion should NOT even be in the running. Having said that the question still remains — will the story revolve around young Kirk in the academy/Farragut OR his first mission on the Enterprise???

Lohr does seem to play more Mediterranean ethnic characters, but then Kirk doesn’t HAVE to be blond. He had dark curly hair in the ’80s. Check this out, Kirk at 50 from TWOK and Lohr at 25 from a publicity photo:

(Whose brows don’t match here really?)

Here’s another pair of photos, Kirk at 35 doing a different facial expression, and Lohr at 24 or so:

balok #67): There is definitely some Kirk in Aaron Lohr. Looks-wise, he’d make a great choice, but he’d have to do something about those eyebrows.

#67- Not a bad choice at all. Aaron Lohr looks a hell of a lot MORE like Kirk than Matt Damon!!!!!!!!

For some reason Aaron Lohr, currently 30 years old, just looks very Kirky to me:

I think he means the Dominion War and you are absolutely correct otherwise.

Digifan (#62): Trek XI isn’t going to be a reboot. From all accounts, it’s supposed to be an original story set within TOS continuity with new actors in the TOS roles. Haven’t you been reading ANY of the articles posted here?

It doesn’t matter how many times you “say it again,” the next Trek film will not take place in the TNG era, it will not be post UFP war (whatever the hell that is), and it will not be set aboard a new starship with a new crew. Time to face the facts. You’re not going to get what you want. Accept it.

Star Trek most certainly can go forward by looking back to TOS. In fact, that’s precisely what it is going to do. The one not moving forward is you, I’m afraid. Stop pouting and embrace the new Trek.

I hope they breathe new life into the original Trek theme the way they did with Mission Imposssible.I always felt that the trek movies should have made more use of (in expanding on)the original TV score
