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.

The only "idiot" is people like yourself that have been gobbling up forgettable Berman nonsense, giving us 20 years of mediocre CRAP. It's people like you as to why a reboot was needed in the first place.

But hey, keep calling people "idiots" from behind your keyboard, internet tough guy.

And you think "Generations" is a good movie, so you can step to the very back of the credibility line.

Get it? Got it? Good.

Right. But how do they keep it a secret until the movie opens? It will be no secret. If a month before the movie Shatner is still protesting too much and Abrams has never definitively said he's not, then the gig's up. In fact, as you point out, they're about to start shooting and the script is surely written. If we are to take Abrams at his word, then they wouldn't merely tack him on. They've said that he must be meaningful to the story. So the gig's really up already, isn't it? The story's written.
