those can NOT be actual candidates
They are rumoured to be "in talks" about the parts, so I don't even know if they can even be considered candidates.
Out of the three, the only one I like is Gary Sinise as Bones. I think he could pull it off fabulously. I just can't see the other two doing justice to the characters.
Here are my picks for Kirk and Spock. Remember, you heard it here first! I am not joking around about these choices. I would pay good money to watch Star Trek XI if these were the choices for Kirk and Spock.
Vin Diesel as Kirk. Sure, he looks nothing like Shatner, but he's got that "girl-gettin'", "ass-kickin'" aura about him and he's no stranger to sci-fi films. In fact, he might be a great contrast to Shatner's Kirk. Instead of a short! bullet-like! method! of! speech!, Vin Diesel would smoothly tell the Klingons to "back awayyyyy..... verryy .... slowwlllyyy" in an almost sub-aural voice. If they didn't, he'd kick every Klingon's ass and steal their women before they knew what hit them. If that ain't classic Kirk, I don't know what is. I can just see Vin lounging in his captain's chair and getting hailed by some Romulans. He'd say "I don't know what you hailed me about, but it better be important. I don't know who you are, but most people have heard of me. I'm the kind of guy that hates interruptions. If you have something important to say, you'd better say it now." The Romulans would be too busy quivering in their space boots to even think about firing their disrupters.
John Malkovitch as Spock. Stick a pair of cosmetic ears on him and let him get into character.
