Star Trek star William Shatner was the guest on the Howard Stern Show this Wednesday morning promoting his new book Up Till Now. Here are few excerpts of the hour long interview, cortesy of TrekMovie.
Stern: You still are peeved they are going to have a new Star Trek movie without you?
Robin: ...and Leonard is in it.
Shatner: Leonard is in it and I am not. They are making a Star Trek movie without Captain Kirk, without the old Captain Kirk. There is a young Captain Kirk. So I think they had story problems and didn't know how to solve it. But I am not peeved, just disappointed. And JJ Abrams is such a great movie maker that I would have love to have done something.
Stern: You would love to work with him
Shatner: I would love to work with him, but I got a lot of things to do.
Stern: ....So when they make a new Star Trek movie and put Leonard into it, is it jealousy? Professional jealousy?
Shatner: No, no. Leonard got most of what he asked for and I think that is really good.
[...]
Stern: You do claim in the new book that you are upset how they killed your character off in Star Trek
Shatner: Thinking back, they were going to kill him off anyway. They said ‘you can be in the movie and die or don't be in the movie and we are still going to kill you.' So I was kind of hung up, so I said I am going to be in the movie. But looking back I wish they had done it with more tympanies and trumpets.
Stern: Of course they should make something dramatic there...
Shatner: They did, but in a way I think the producer [Rick Berman] was trying to kill the character off because it was a legacy of the old guard and this guy was head of the new guard with Patrick [Stewart] and The Next Generation. So I think he was trying to kill as many antecedents, like a lion killing the cubs.

Looks like it will be a very interesting discussion with the Shatman on Glenn Beck on Headline News 6pm Central Friday Night. Glenn has played some highlights, and today there was an extended interview on the radio with Shatner as well.
This will have very limited Trek discussion, but has Shatner's ideas on much larger issues.
