Rumor Mill : AICN Editor Claims William Shatner is in the New Star Trek Movie

Features

By GustavoLeao / 21:15, 16 October 2007 / Star Trek: Nemesis

AICN editor Hercules is claiming to have inside knowledge that William Shatner is in J.J. Abrams upcoming Star Trek prequel movie.

Herc, in a brief post at AICN Readers Talkback message board, told everyone not to believe the hype about Shatner not being in movie.

"By the way." Herc wrote "All publicity about Shatner not playing Old Kirk in the movie is lie. Word to your mother."

In another post, he replied to a skeptical user "I know a whole f#@*& lot about this movie that you do not. Wake up, Trekkie!!!!"

AICN was the first site to post the story about the plotline of the movie involving Romulans and time travel, so we can presume the site seems to have inside sources regarding the Star Trek film.

This information is preliminary, of course, and entirely rumor.

The original report is here.

Nor can he play a younger version of himself (he just couldn't pass for a pre-Generations Kirk at his age).

Sorry, but I really think this is argument is a nonstarter. Modern CGI tricks are more than capable of realistically making actors look younger than they really are.

So, the logical choice would be Mirror Kirk.
The possibilities of future movie success would increase far beyond what they would be without Shatner, if he shows up at the end and is the villain for Trek 12.


I do really like this idea, though. ; )
