William Shatner Says J.J. Abrams Did a Wonderful Star Trek Movie

By GustavoLeao / 17:09, 10 December 2009 / Star Trek: Nemesis

Last night Star Trek star William Shatner was on Jimmy Kimmel Live, promoting his show Raw Nerve, but things swung around to discussion of Star Trek. Here is an excerpt of what Mr Shatner said, courtesy of TrekMovie.

Shatner said, "They did a wonderful movie. J.J., I think of him as a buddy, he's a great director and I'm sure when the right time comes he'll make the right decision (and cast me)."

The full transcript of what Mr Shatner said (plus the videos) can be found at TrekMovie

This is from the original article:
Quote:
The original Captain Kirk reveals he and Abrams met for lunch recently and he has since seen the movie he chose not to be a part of - after refusing the filmmaker's cameo offer.

Hm. Did Shatner really say that? If so, surely puts a whole new spin on the whole "Who's a liar" debate regarding ST09.

Snub movie, express bewilderment with J.J. when you're not in it. But if talks start up to get you in the sequel, well then you kiss up a bit, finally give the movie some praise.

If the talks go nowhere, it's back to snubbing everyone involved.

Either this is fake or Shatner is just the worst asskisser on Hollywood.
