J.J. Abrams Confirms James T. Kirk in Star Trek XI, Movie Will Respect Canon

Features

By GustavoLeao / 09:53, 18 April 2007 / Star Trek: Nemesis

The latest issue of Star Trek Magazine, just out in the UK and the US, features a brief interview with Star Trek XI producer/director J.J. Abrams, in which he tells the magazine that "James T. Kirk appears in the movie."

Aside from the various rumors that the movie is indeed a TOS reimagining featuring younger versions of Kirk and Spock, this is actually the first time that Abrams or anyone from the production has officially disclosed any plot detail about the film.

"The respect we all have for Star Trek canon - and for a brand-new audience - is massive." Abrams told the magazine "The script is done. We’re now starting pre-prep, and we can’t wait to start shooting! Many more details to follow!"

The original report can be found at Trek Movie Report.

James T. Kirk is William Shatner is the same as saying Sean Connery is 007.

Things change. Flow with it, dude.

"With hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents, and endure what storms may come. Let it be said by our children's children that when we were tested we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back nor did we falter; and with eyes fixed on the horizon and God's grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations."

"This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time - to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth - that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we cant, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people-Yes We Can."

"Yeah, I don't do cowering."-Barack Obama
