Star Trek: The Actors Almost Cast As Kelvin Timeline's James T. Kirk
J.J. Abrams' Star Trek reboot ultimately starred Chris Pine as Captain James T. Kirk, but a number of other actors were considered for the role. Conceived as a reworking of the ideas behind Star Trek: The Original Series with a new cast and a big-budget makeover, Abrams' Star Trek movies have since come to be known as the «Kelvin Timeline». The name stems from the alternate timeline its story takes place in, which allows not only for freedom from Star Trek's expansive continuity, but also for the recasting of the roles made iconic by The Original Series' actors.
