The Los Angeles Times posted a new interview with Star Trek star William Shatner, and here are few excerpts.
Regarding the upcoming J.J. Abrams Star Trek movie, he said "There is no need for me to know anything because I'm not a part of it. They will have an extraordinary campaign when it comes about, and my dear friend Leonard [Nimoy] will be part of that and I would have loved to have been there with him. I am very happy for Leonard, my good friend, though."
But wait, didn't Shatner's Kirk die on screen in Generations ? He rolled his eyes. "It's science fiction! If we're trying to put together the DNA of a dinosaur dead for a 160 million years, why can't scientists take a molecule that's floating around and bring back Kirk?" Shatner shook his head and watched the traffic on Ventura Boulevard. "It was weird for me to hand over the movie reins to Patrick Stewart in the last movie. It's strange to say goodbye. But it isn't any more strange than saying goodbye to ‘Boston Legal,' which has been part of my life these past few years in an extraordinary way."
Shatner also talks about the upcoming line of comic books based on his science fiction novels from Bluewater Productions. Two books, "Man o' War" and "Quest for Tomorrow," will each be given a mini-series treatment, while his far more famous "TekWar" will be an up-ended series. "With all of these comics, I have final approval," Shatner said "This is not a licensing arrangement, this will be me involved very directly throughout the process. They are going to do adaptations of my ideas and also sequels; they will be in the stores in March of 2009."
The full interview is here.

The LA Times' own website search engine can find the recent articles which quote Abrams -- "We actually had written a scene with [Shatner] in it" -- so there's no excuse for an oblivious interviewer who doesn't question Shatner's "I would have loved to have been there."
Abrams and Shatner both understand how The Great Unwashed will simply fail to ask the right questions.

If it wasn't for him and his return to his scene chewing performance as James T Kirk in Star Trek 2 The Wrath of Khan, there would be no Star Trek at all today!!!
Pardon me, and begging the Admiral's pardon, but the idiots who do not appreciate that fact...well, they are as blind as Tiberian Bats!!!
