William Shatner talks new Star Trek, Abrams, Chris Pine

I love Bill Shatner and he is by far my favourite Star Trek actor/character. He is looking rather sad here.

haha he's to senial to act.. so pissed he didn't make it into the best star trek movie

Aww poor Bill. You can see that mournfull reminisent look in his eye when he see's the new Kirk and the original Kirk. Dont worry Bill to us Trekkies you'r always the one and only!!!

shatner in the movie would have - sorry - ruined it. it was a good decision with spock, but kirk too?

I agree 100%

I heard he could be playin kirks grandfather tobirias

PS - Also, if he wanted to be in future movies, maybe he shouldn't have let them kill him off to begin with?

The only way he could have been in it is, as they said, as a "message" from his older self to his younger self.

I'm sure they could have done a great Shatner's-Kirk-comes-back-to-l ife movie if they wanted; but that's not what it was. It was a prequel. Having Kirk alive would have been a whole separate plotline.

I'd have loved to see him in the movie as much as anyone, but there was no room or need for it since they were doing a prequel, not a continuation.

Maybe next time. :)

The death of Kirk took place in the "old" timeline, the one nero pretty much eliminated by going back in time - remember when old spock tells kirk that Kirk in his timeline knew his father. So they could work it i on the premeses that it is a new timeline and therefore nothing that happend on the series or the previous films has to happen in this timeline.

Aw. I love him. You will always be Captain to me. Honestly, gratitude and respect for all he has done in making this wonderful story.
