Features

By GustavoLeao / 19:06, 30 June 2009 / Star Trek: Nemesis

According to TrekMovie.com, while co-hosting Live with Regis and Kelly last Friday Star Trek star William Shatner explained why he has not seen the new Star Trek movie yet.

"I do care, but here is the problem. If I go to the theater, it's like, ‘there is the guy who thinks he is captain Kirk' or something like that. Some ridicule is going to happen. So I have sort of avoided that." Shatner said.

Would it have killed Paramount to send the guy an advance DVD?

It's not the studio's responsibility to send out advance DVDs of a film to every former Star Trek castmember who may want to see their new film. Especially when everything was so locked-down and secret before the premiere. If Shatner had requested a copy however, I am sure they would have simply sent him one or invited him on the lot to screen the film securely -- when his schedule permitted.
