Robbie Williams in final negotiations to play Captain Kirk?

Re: Robbie Williams in final negotiations to play Captain Ki

My BS detector just went into overdrive.

Re: Robbie Williams in final negotiations to play Captain Ki

Other that get on my nurves 'Rodney' Williams is not much good at anything. He can't sing, write music, act....
I would really have to ask serious questions before I went to see a movie with Williams in it. He was not even much kop in the tawdry Take That. Beyond that I think actors should stick to acting and singers should stick to singing. I mean lets get Jarvis Cocker as Spock or how about Ian Brown as Chekov. Pete Doherty as Scotty, KAte Moss as Chapel..
Williams sucks...

In fairness though, Billie Piper turned out to be a great actress and far exceeded anyones expectations of her. Sometimes you can be famous for one thing but then turn out to also be good at and become famous for something else.

Robbie Williams the singer?!!?

Dear god, I hope all your bullshit detectors are working - mine just exploded.
 
Re: Robbie Williams in final negotiations to play Captain Ki

This better be bull shit
 
Re: Robbie Williams in final negotiations to play Captain Ki

How about Robbie Williams as a REDSHIRT, that dies in the first act of the film ;)

Re: Robbie Williams in final negotiations to play Captain Ki

I bet there are a lot of famous people trying to get a cameo of the first redshirt to beam down.
 
Re: Robbie Williams in final negotiations to play Captain Ki

Well, Billie Piper never had such a horrible reputation, and her acting didn't really turn anyone off (not that I know of, anyway). Robbie Williams on the other hand... too many people all over the world hate him. I'm not one of them, I neither like, nor dislike him, but I don't think people would see "Kirk", they'd look at "Robbie Williams in disguise". That would kill the movie before it had any chance of establishing itself.

But it's bullshit anyway.

As long as it results in an immediate & messy death, I nominate Tom Cruise! :D
 
Re: Robbie Williams in final negotiations to play Captain Ki

One has to wonder WHY famous types want to play of all things a REDSHIRT ?
I guess just because it's "Star Trek" and it'll look good on their resume "You played Red Shirt 25 in Star Trek ?"
"Yea, I was turned into a cube and crushed !"
"Cool."

* Who'd rather play blue or gold shirt 25 *
 
Re: Robbie Williams in final negotiations to play Captain Ki

A big star who's also a Star Trek fan might think being a redshirt in a cameo (complete with over-the-top melodramatic death scene) would be fun. Nobody would remember a blue or gold shirt. Someone like Tom Cruise isn't going to be worrying about his resume.
 
Re: Robbie Williams in final negotiations to play Captain Ki

JJ Abrams : Okay could you try dieing again, only more over the top ?
Tom Cruise : AaaaaaRrrrrrGggggggHhhhhh !
JJ Abrams : Hum, a little better....

^^ but Xenu saves him at the last minute...
 
Re: Robbie Williams in final negotiations to play Captain Ki

Ok so they'd have to rewrite the script a little...but wouldn't it be worth it to have a big name on board? :D

...why am I still contributing to the existence of this thread? :lol:
 
Re: Robbie Williams in final negotiations to play Captain Ki

Scientoligy is no more by Trek's time, however the Curch of Trekoligy has a greter infulance by then ;)

Re: Robbie Williams in final negotiations to play Captain Ki

Frankly I don't care who plays Kirk as long as it's not Robbie 'Roddney' Williams.
And to the guy who says Billi Piper was good in Doctor Who well the truth with her is she was an actor who did some singing when she was younger rather than a singer who became an actor. BAsicly she saw the light that she could not sing and went back to acting.

Groening clearly hasn't been to any conventions, then...

Quite. For the same reason Sean Connery would have been no good as Gandalf.

But it's bullshit anyway.

I sure hope so.
