William Shatner Says Abrams Wants Kirk and Spock in Star Trek XI

By GustavoLeao / 10:29, 12 November 2006 / Feature Films

Star Trek star William Shatner revealed more about his recent meeting with Star Trek XI producer J.J. Abrams at a fan convention in Springfield, Massachusetts on Saturday night (Nov. 11). He was talking about the film Generations when he made this comment.

"I had a talk with J.J. Abrams a while ago and they were writing a new script – and we are all hoping it will be wonderful." Shatner told the audience "And he said, they were going to get the Kirk and Spock characters in there. And I said, "How will you do that, I'm dead." (laughter). I said, "That's a problem." So, they are wrestling with that death, OK."

Thanks to 'Ray Kelly' for the submission.

If Kirk is brought back from the nexus alive and well (played by William Shatner) the franchise will be alive and well once again.

Star Trek needs it's greatest hero's to save it from the last decade of mediocrity.

That is how they will bring back Kirk. Spock will lead a team into the nexus to save Kirk.

It's as simple as that.

Star Trek 11 with Shatner and Nimoy is a big deal. Without them nobody cares.

On no a return to the Nexus. Thats the only way they can do it. There's still a Kirk in the Nexus.

It should be more than a paycheck for them. Where is the passion for "Star Trek" ?

As I have said before:
Make the movie a two-part film. Partially it takes place in the 24th century with a big menace threatening the Federation. As the roots of this threat lie way back in the 23rd century, Spock has to find a way to bring Kirk back from the dead - as he is the only way capable of saving the Federation. But Spock has to remember what happened in the past, so we have these flashback scenes about young Kirk and Spock and what happened in this time period...
When finally Kirk is alive again, the ultimate showdown will take place...

Just ignore Kirk's death. It was poorly done. It made no emotional impact and can therefore be easily overlooked by fans. As for non fans, I doubt anyone even remembers or knows that Kirk was killed.

I'd rather they ignore generations that create some complicated, impossible plot hole ridden mess of a script to bring him back.

After all, turnabout is fair play! What a wonderful way to send these characters off and bring back the franchise.

I think Shatner is just after the money, and Nimoy is not interested in reprising the role one way or the other.
