Here are excerpts from TOS Remastered producer Dave Rossi column from the latest issue of Star Trek Magazine, in which he gave some thoughts on some the hassles that producer/director J.J. Abrams will no doubt have when it comes to recasting the role of Captain Kirk in the upcoming Star Trek XI movie.
"Star Trek fans want to like Star Trek." wrote Rossi "If the stories are good, if the characters are compelling, if there's balanced doses of action, humour, and drama, people will watch. Not surprising then that Paramount chose to go with Star Trek The Original Series and moreover Mr. Abrams. It's not quite that simple though. While there are a lot of factors to consider in an undertaking like this, one of the biggest is casting."
"The Shat Factor ranks pretty high. You're recasting a role that has become synonymous with William Shatner. His mannerisms, his inflections, tone; all these things make up what we know as Captain Kirk. I think it's deadly to cast someone with the instructions to ‘play Shatner playing Kirk'. Can't be done. No sir. That begs the question: Can the millions of ST: TOS fans wrap their heads around, not just a new Kirk, but a new everybody? I'll admit that if I like this movie, I'll feel a little dirty for doing so knowing that someone else is playing Kirk. But I want to like this movie."
"Having worked on this Remastered project, I know that the die-hard fans will ultimately pick this new movie apart regardless. It 's the nature of the beast. And while the nit-pickers do what they do best, I hope the rest of us will look at this with fresh eyes and a nod towards what Roddenberry was going for: not that Shatner was Kirk and Nimoy was Spock, but a story about heroes thrust into extraordinary adventures, armed only with their humanity (okay, and phasers too) as a guide."
More from Rossi can be found at Sci Fi Pulse.

Oh God!...You all know in your heart of hearts that this turkey is going to tank!, and without Shatner as Kirk thats a total for sure, just like that lame Nemesis did for paramount the last time.
Yup folks!...this is really the end of the franchise ...and it is a fact.
I am truly sorry to bring you all back to reality on this here...
I love Star Trek too...it is so tragic.
Denny Crane Lives!
Kirk is "dead"...that is unless they come across with Shatner and his heater sidekick Nimoy...in a game called Fizzbin...we true fans just wont go!

Ellen: [carefully sets her cigar down] Say that again.
Horace: I said whores next door.
Ellen: [kicks the stool out from under him, catches his liquor bottle as he falls, & pours herself a drink] Now, do you have a room available?
Horace: Uh, room and bath, yes, ma'am, coming up!
