We’ll be that lucky?
The TV show was great, though. Been a while since I watched it, so maybe I’ll do that.
Here we are
Born to be kings
We’re rebooting all the movies in the u-ni-verse!
That made me laugh.
Funny as it was to see 29 year old Christopher Lambert playing himself as a young boy, Cavill will have a harder time at 42.
My money is on the worse case scenario. It would be insane for them to do it - but Hollywood loves trying to force the impossible to work.
Best case scenario: They use a different actor. Simple.
Worse case scenario: They CGI-deage Cavill and he loses a lot of weight for those scenes. Ridiculous. But the director applauds Cavill for his efforts at “authenticity”.

They are entirely hidden by shelves that go from the floor to the ceiling and the shelves are crammed with stuff. “Over here is my precious collection of ‘Star Trek TOS’ period era action figures…”
I think you’re onto something.
What? But I was repeatedly told there could only be one!
