The latest issue of Starburst Magazine, out in the UK, features an extensive interview with TOS actor George Takei and claims that he will cameo in the new Star Trek movie, a rumor denied by Takei's business manager and partner (story). Here are few more excerpts of the article.
Regarding the fact that William Shatner will not appear in the new prequel movie, Takei said "He's expressed his disappointment, because he's a very competitive guy."
"Kirk's death was visibly seen on film" Takei said "Science fiction is wonderful, but to be credible, there has to be some verities. With Spock, he's got a lot of special Science fiction things. We did one movie, The Wrath of Khan - where Spock dies - but we followed it up with a movie titled The Search for Spock. You can't finish a movie like that saying "Well, we didnt find him !" So Spock is a very special character, Kirk is a humanoid and Bill Shatner has to accept that."

Takei Goes On a Musical 'Trek'
George Takei will appear Friday and Saturday night with the Minnesota Orchestra as part of "To Boldly Go ... ", the finale of the ensemble's Sounds of Cinema film-music series. He replaces the originally scheduled Leonard Nimoy, who had to cancel because he was too busy filming the new "Star Trek" movie, in which he reprises his role as Spock.
Boldly Going
The remarkable thing is that "New Voyages" is produced by fans, not a studio. When it won the TV Guide award, it beat out studio-produced webisodes such as "Battlestar Galactica" and "The 4400."

Quoyre from StillKirok:
While Shatner did want a bigger part, he was never offered the smaller one.
Knowing that someone won't accept a particular thing can preclude any calls with offers of that thing.
Shatner announced "I don't do cameos" while talking about ST:XI, so Abrams has reason to take that as being applicable to his project. Why offend Shatner with an offer of something he has openly dissed?
Whether or not Shatner appears in ST:XI, Kirk's death should be undone.
For TOS, Gene Roddenberry chose a classic style of storytelling that once utilized gods or wraiths to represent the base elements of mankind and nature. Kirk, Spock, and McCoy -- as the triumvirate Body, Mind, and Soul -- are essentially immortal, timeless archetypes which, as an inseparable unit, embody the corporeal and spiritual human condition.
A permanent elimination of Kirk, Spock, or McCoy is an act of gross ignorance (or arrogance) toward the architecture of a pop-cult legend. It shouldn't have happened, and warrants a canonical annulment.

Has Microsoft Disavowed Vista?
"Technically, Vista is pure misery. It eats system resources like an elephant does peanuts, Windows applications break, and its so-called improved security is a joke."
