Shatner's absence is really putting a dark cloud on this movie.

I hope they don't think that because it's Star Trek, the hardcore fans will come no matter what. That hasn't been true for a long time.

Big disappointment if no Shatner, even more so if it build on the lousy foundation of Generations. Better to build on the previous 6 films. Particularly Kirk's comment at the end of Star Trek III that Spock would have come back for him, "you would have done it for me." Generations feels disconnected from the TOS franchise.

You know, if they just had him doing voice overs, that would be fine too. Can't they CGI Kirk and use Shatner to voice it..err...him?
