Actor Chris Pine is definitely in to play the new James T. Kirk in J.J. Abrams new Star Trek movie, reports /Film and Trek Movie Report. Pine has dropped out of the Joe Carnahan-directed "White Jazz," which was apparently the final thing standing in his way of saying yes to Abrams and Star Trek.
On his blog, Carnahan said, "The young man playing Junior Stemmons has opted to 'go where no man has gone before' and thus, had to bow out of WHITE JAZZ. I've been talking to him this past week and knew how tough the decision had to be for him. I don't envy ever being in that spot but I gave him my full support, even if it meant he didn't do JAZZ. I get it. You don't get opportunities like that often and I told him as long as he could control as much of that process as possible and not get sucked into doing lesser sequels as a result of taking this gig, then good luck and God bless."
Carnahan has promised a role to Pine in Killing Pablo, his Pablo Escobar biopic which is set to go into production June 2008.
There are still no indications that William Shatner has been asked to play the older Captain James T. Kirk again in Abrams movie.
The original reports are here and here.

How do you know that the old Spock scenes take place in the 24th century? What if the are set before the events of Generations.
Hmmmm....
You are asking me why Nimoy would have to portray his character in the 24th century and not pre-Generations, i.e. 14 years ago so that Kirk can be included?
A lot has happened since 1994, heh. Mainly buffet lines and liver spots... that's why.

I think it's hilarious that the SOLE reason we are even discussing 76-year old Shatner reprising his role as the deceased Kirk, is because Nimoy was cast in this film.. that's it! Had this been exclusively a younger cast only (sans 'flashback' scenes), noone would have even thought to suggest dragging all the elderly actors out of mothballs to play their old (or dead) characters again.
How hard is it to understand folks? Spock is still alive in the 24th century because (a) Vulcans live much longer and (b) his character has not been permanently killed off. James T. Kirk can claim neither of those unfortunately. And even if Kirk had not been killed off, Nimoy looks older than he did in
"Unification". This means his role would HAVE to take place in the 24th century, by which point Kirk would have died of natural causes anyway! I mean jeez guys, LET IT GO!

Quote from NEXUS:
Why put Nimoy in and not Shatner?
Direct statements of intent from Team Abrams must be ungratifying to fans who live and die by rumor. So, here's a little something from the bowels of the blogosphere...
At AICN, on October 15th, Hercules wrote, "By the way. All publicity about Shatner not playing Old Kirk in the movie is lie. Word to your mother."
When some AICN readers balked at this, Herc replied with, "I know a whole fucking lot about this movie that you do not. Wake up, Trekkie!!!!"

If you look at "looks" (I don't as much when it comes to casting), you can also say that the cast is shaping up nicely.
