William Shatner Praises Chris Pine as the New Captain Kirk, Says He Still Would Love to be in a J.J. Abrams Movie

StarTrek.com posted extensive reports and photos from the Star Trek Destination London convention event and here is an excerpt from the Day 3 report featuring William Shatner alone on stage.

The subject of Star Trek (2009) came up and Shatner wasn’t without comment. On Chris Pine as Kirk: “He’s a wonderful leading man,” Shatner stated. “He has the looks, body, the talent. He makes a wonderful Kirk; I’m so happy he got the job.” How about Nimoy’s appearance? “You know you’re old when you go back in time and… you’re still old.” How about Shatner in a J.J. Abrams Trek adventure? “I would love to be in a movie with J.J.,” he responded. “He has given us a ride. He has made Star Trek commercial.  But those big movies for an actor are really boring (due to FX demands)… and they take forever.  I don’t know that I can afford the time.”

The first-ever Destination London was a smashing success. Fans had a blast, and so did the guests. The final count of attendees will be determined soon, but the event exceeded all expectations. To read the official site recaps, click HERE and HERE and HERE

Bill is looking younger these days. And loved his comments about Pine. Bravo, Bill.
