National Ledger just posted an exclusive interview with Star Trek star William Shatner, in which he talks about J.J. Abrams upcoming Star Trek movie and also his prequel Trek novel The Academy Collision Course. Here are few excerpts from the article.
Asked if he will be joining the cast of the soon-to-shoot Abrams' film, Shatner said "I'm not. They haven't invited me to do it,". The actor figures the movie forces have solved the problem of dealing with the aging version of his iconic character, James T. Kirk, by having a "dead Kirk." As for who'll play young, alive Kirk, "It seems they're looking for an unknown, so I have no idea. I don't have a finger on that pulse. I've barely got a finger on my own pulse," Shatner said. "I feel sort of like a wallflower. I'll watch the dance from the wings."
Regarding The Academy Collision Course, Shatner's October-release Star Trek prequel book, he said "It's the story of young Kirk and Spock and the forces that molded them. I used the Darfur situation for what generates the excitement. A conflict in which there are child soldiers -- and Kirk and Spock are not much older than those child soldiers."
Shatner's take on young Kirk and Spock days at Starfleet Academy will get out to the public way ahead of the film, which starts production in November and have a similar premise. "It's a coincidence," he says. "In this book, the publisher is putting a fronticepiece saying that this is the artist's unique vision."

Cmdr. Murdock: "Lieutenant, how would you handle this?"
Lt. Pervis: "We could try ignoring it, sir."
Patience, Bill. The "movie forces" have had a dead Kirk since 1994.

"Suddenly, there was a terrible roar all around us..."
--------
The autumn days swung soft around me, like cotton on
my skin. But as the embers of the summer lost their
breath and disappeared, my heart went cold, and
only hollow rhythms resounded from within.
