George Takei Will Not Appear in the New Star Trek Prequel Movie

Features

According to Aint it Cool News, TOS actor George Takei has hinted on the Howard Stern talk show that he may be reuniting with Star Trek star Leonard Nimoy for the J.J. Abrams new Star Trek movie.

According to report in several websites, today on Howard Stern's Sirius radios show, Takei told Howard that he had met with J.J. Abrams over lunch. When asked if he was going to be in the new Star Trek film, Takei said "no comment,"

But TrekMovie.com reports that Takei isn't in the movie. Here is a transcript of their report.


"TrekMovie.com has talked to sources and Mr. Takei himself to get to the truth. The answer is NO"

"The report on AICN states that Takei "recently had lunch with J.J. Abrams," however Mr. Takei tells TrekMovie.com that it was actually a breakfast last fall before filming began on the project. Takei would not go into details about his talk with Abrams because "the whole conversation is privileged," however the actor did express concern over how not commenting has been "turned into an affirmation" that he will appear in the new Star Trek movie.

"According to multiple sources connected to the film, George Takei will not appear in the new Star Trek. The film makers are fans of Takei's, but he just doesn't fit into the story they are telling."

The AICN report can be found here.

What can I say ? Every site was reporting it because AICN is a popular site, so TrekWeb has to at least we had to post an article on the subject on this "news".
