George Takei Talks About William Shatner Not Being in the New Star Trek Movie

Features

By GustavoLeao / 00:25, 30 January 2008 / Star Trek: Nemesis

The latest issue of Starburst Magazine, out in the UK, features an extensive interview with TOS actor George Takei and claims that he will cameo in the new Star Trek movie, a rumor denied by Takei's business manager and partner (story). Here are few more excerpts of the article.

Regarding the fact that William Shatner will not appear in the new prequel movie, Takei said "He's expressed his disappointment, because he's a very competitive guy."

"Kirk's death was visibly seen on film" Takei said "Science fiction is wonderful, but to be credible, there has to be some verities. With Spock, he's got a lot of special Science fiction things. We did one movie, The Wrath of Khan - where Spock dies - but we followed it up with a movie titled The Search for Spock. You can't finish a movie like that saying "Well, we didnt find him !" So Spock is a very special character, Kirk is a humanoid and Bill Shatner has to accept that."

It is possible, yes. But it is too late to hire Shatner involvment now, I guess.

Fuck Kirk. If they do bring him back to life in this movie, I hope they have him hugging Spock, turning around and being decapitated by a Romulan or something. Also, I cried when Shatner died in Generations; tears of joy!
