William Shatner Says He Knows Nothing About Star Trek XI

Features

By GustavoLeao / 19:35, 8 June 2007 / Star Trek: Nemesis

William Shatner has posted a new video message on his "Shatner Vision" feature of his web site, talking a bit more about the recent rumors about his return to the role of Captain Kirk in J.J. Abrams Star Trek XI movie. Here is a transcript of the video, cortesy of Trek Movie Report.

"I know nothing. It kind of...makes me feel bad. I know nothing. I know less than you people out there because I don't read about it, I am not paying much attention to it. So if you hear anything send us an email so you can tell us whether you hear of any information. You know how the tabloids pay for gossip information about celebrities, well celebrities are now paying for gossip information about studios."

You can watch the video at WilliamShatner.com.

That has to be it..You have all been raised by Televison's quick fix mentality and its 'now now now' generation...you're all just various versions of Paris Hilton. Spoiled because you can't get what you want when you want it....

I remember the good old days. Going to Star Wars and not knowing what it was even going to be and was floored. Or JAWS, or Close Encounters...

You people need to be medicated and taught that sometimes..SOMETIMES...the best things in life are those we know little about...

And then...if the movie comes out and sucks as bad as INNSURRECTION or NEMESIS I will join with you and bash ABRAMS as we did Logan and Baird...but not now...not now...keep your fricking phasers holstered for now...geee...

CHAOTIC


Hear, hear! I'll never forget (nor, to some degree, forgive) how fandom passed judgement on Nemesis a year before it came out, and thereby created a self-fulfilling prophecy out of a film that was no classic but was still better than Insurrection, Search or Spock or The Final Frontier, at least. People are so willing to unholster their phasers (good analogy, that) that they seem to have forgotten the value of patience.

It's not just Trek, of course. Look how many people were utterly convinced that BSG, Doctor Who and Casino Royale were going to suck and they were all proved wrong, bigtime (but since BSG, Who and Bond fandom is nowhere near as powerful as Trek fandom, we didn't see any self-fulfilling prophecies, thank god).
