William Shatner Calls J.J. Abrams Reboot of Star Trek "Wonderful" and "a Glorious Motion Picture"

Features

By GustavoLeao / 13:08, 25 November 2012 / Star Trek: Nemesis

The Pittsburgh Post Gazette posted a new interview with actor/director William Shatner and here is an excerpt.

Q: It seems you are always on our screens or your name is on our bookshelves. What's happening now besides the show?


A: We're preparing another documentary. I've done four or five documentaries; I have a new one called "Get a Life" [based on his book with Chris Kreski], and I've got two more being edited. I'm trying to sell another one. My book "Shatner Rules" is out in paperback. We're going to film the one-man show in Ottawa in November for an hour-and-a-half special. ... There's just a variety of things going on.

Q: What do you think of J.J. Abrams rebooting "Star Trek" as a movie franchise?

A: I think it's wonderful. It's a great ride, a great opening up of 'Star Trek' to modern audiences. It doesn't have the story heart that the best of my 'Star Trek' had, but it's a glorious motion picture.

Q: Do you think you could ever be involved, the way Leonard Nimoy was brought in as Spock?

A: I can't imagine how. I have to do some face work before I apply.

The full interview is here

When are we going to hear the end of it? I can ALMOST understand why people keep asking him if he'll ever be in the new movies, but why of WHY does every single interviewer ask him what he thinks of the new movie? He's answered it dozens upon dozens of times now. The guy likes it, and if he doesn't, he has the class not to badmouth it. LET IT GO!!!
