I am by no means a Trekkie but IMO he should be a part of the new movie dangit!

The make up department can do wonders these days !
His name does leave something to be desired tho' !

I actually think he is quite a reasonable actor. I saw him in a Columbo episode where he played a bit of a fop or over the top arty type.
Played it quite well IMO.

Not sure which movie but yes his character was killed. However in the land of movies no one realllllly ever dies, Spock died too.. didn't he?
All I know is that I've always wanted a tribble.

Agreed, but that goes with the territory ie being an actor.

Leonard Nimoy is in the next movie. The answer is obvious, Spock is a Vulcan and would outlive Kirk..


they seem to be shoehorning in a few of the old cast.
i suspect that shatner hasn't been involved because he is too expensive, afterall he has had a career post star trek - nimoy not so much.

problem with spock outliving kirk in terms of this movie is that the story is set at the start of the kirk/spock relationship. so if nimoy is playing spock it will be him "remembering" the start of the enterprise.

frankly i would rather that when movies like this were being made they didn't bother with the homages to the original stars.

mind you with this franchise i wish they had just made a new movie, introduced new characters and launced a new series that way.

The original Capt. Kirk is disheartened he won't get to boldly go anywhere with his old pal Spock in the new "Star Trek" movie. While Leonard Nimoy is reprising his role as the pointy-eared Vulcan in next year's science-fiction flick, William Shatner is not on board as Kirk.

"I couldn't believe it. I'm not in the movie at all. Leonard, God bless his heart, is in, but not me," Shatner, 76, told The Associated Press on Thursday. "I thought, what a decision to make, since it obviously is a decision not to make use of the popularity I have to ensure the movie has good box office. It didn't seem to be a wise business decision."

Yeah, he was pretty much typecast as, "The Star Trek Guy."
In anything else he did I always thought of him as Capt Kirk playing so and so part.
I can't see him and (not) think of "Capt Kirk."
And, I never thought he was that good of an actor.
He's pretty much indistinguishable in any part he plays.
He'd be a "B" Movie actor.
