Dear J.J. Abrams
If, in fact, rumors are true and your planned Star Trek movie will center on the early days of Kirk and Spock at the Space Academy, the idea of casting Matt Damon in the Captain Kirk role is, well, ludicrous. Matt Damon is almost 36. William Shatner was only 38 when he first started playing Captain Kirk. So that 2 year age difference? Yeah, so not going to work. Try an actor in his 20s.
Thanks for your kind attention to this matter.
