George Takei on 2009 Trek Movie, J.J. Abrams and Cameos in Future Star Trek Movies

By GustavoLeao / 14:10, 2 April 2012 / Star Trek: Nemesis

GeekWire posted a new interview with TOS actor George Takei in Seattle this weekend at Emerald City Comicon, where he was interviewed on stage by actor and radio personality Danny Bonaduce. and here are excerpts.

On the J.J. Abrams Star Trek movie (the name of which Takei has criticized): I thought it was a terrific movie. It really had pace, and�rhythm�and action, and it had to be done with a younger cast. All of that running in the corridor, I can�t imagine Bill Shatner running.

On the chances of a cameo in a future Star Trek movie: Leonard (Nimoy) made a cameo in the first one, and I thought they would include the still-living one of us in the subsequent ones, but I think they made a policy decision they�re going to try to get away from that confusion, and the story track of bringing an old ancient Spock back.

So they don�t have any cameos for any of us in the next one, and from what I understand, should there be another J.J. Abrams Star Trek movie (beyond the one currently being filmed), it will be without any of us.

The full interview is here..

Every single interview, every single comment, every single time you hear anything from this guy in the media, he HAS to slide in a slight against Shatner.

GET OVER IT GEORGE!!!

I don't think he's a bad person, in fact I'm even a fan of his on Facebook, but Jesus... give it a rest.

People need to face it... As much as we all love the original "Star Trek" cast, their time has passed. We can and will continue to enjoy the work they did on the original series, the animated series, and the first six movies (etc.). But the truth is that now it is time for Pine, Quinto, etc. to get their turn to stand (or fall) on their own, without any of the original cast there to hold their hands.
