I... am unsure of what to think

Recently an announcement was made that a new Star Trek film was in the works. Heck, they even released a teaser poster.

This poster, it intrigues me, as it strongly implies TOS era. And not TOS movie era - TOS when it was on TV era. The Official Site also tells us that the director is set to be J.J. Abrams, best known as the creator of such shows as Lost, Alias, and... umm... Felicity. So, for the most part, that's exciting.

But then IMDb tells me that the rumored casting for James Kirk is...

MATT DAMON??!!?!

Now... I like Matt... but as Kirk? I suppose he does kind of look like him... I'll reserve judgement until more concrete news arrives.
