Ben Afflect to play Kirk?!?!?

From cinescape.com:

.. some others had heard that Ben has also been talking to Paramount about possibly playing a lead role in a new Star Trek film from J.J Abrams. Apparently Abrams is coming down to visit the set in a few weeks, to visit Michelle Monaghan, whom he directed in Mission : Impossible 3, so that might add some more fuel to the fire. If it comes off, he's apparently playing the hero. Don't know if that's Captain Kirk or some other nameless male protagonist...but that's the gist of it. So possible that Affleck's going to go onto doing a new Jack Ryan, and possibly a "Trek", after he finishes with this film.

Hahah lol, how fucking funny would that be! Both Afflect and Shatner suck as actors so it would be no loss really. Well, except the total cancelation of the Star Trek universe.

BEN AFFLECT GO TO HELL!!
