The report claims Matt Damon, long-rumored for the part, will take on the role of Kirk, with Adrien Brody and Gary Sinise filling in the roles of Spock and Bones respectively.
If they can actually get this cast pulled together, it would really elevate the franchise to a new level, sure... but I was under the impression they were meant to be around college age for this prequel. While I acknowledge that Gary Sinise has essentially been playing Bones for most of his career, if they try to sell me on him as a 24-year-old, I'll shit myself. He really should take that into consideration before he signs any contracts.
Meanwhile, in case you're interested, my pick for Kirk? Ben McKenzie.
Tell me I'm wrong.
Incidentally, if they give Adrien Brody the classic Vulcan ears along with his standard nose, his entire head will be covered in giant, pointed curves of flesh that would all be more than a little moist around the edges, and it will be gross.

I think you are right about McKenzie: He does look like Kirk!
I thought Bones was supposed to be 10 years older than the other two anyway? Am I wrong? From what I've read, they're going to make Scotty the engineering teacher to fit him in, but Bones should be through with college already.
Just FYI-- there is a really good short story that touches on the original series in "The Lives of Dax": One of Jadzia's previous incarnations has an affair with a young McCoy and kind of sets him on his path to become a doctor. It was a good story! ;-)
