At Destination Star Trek London this past weekend, William Shatner was understandably pressed on the subject of whether he will be resurrected as James T. Kirk in the forthcoming Star Trek 3. He said he had received a message from JJ Abrams asking him if he’s interested and he confirmed he was interested as long as the script was right. He was told by Abrams to keep quiet about it but to Shatner’s surprise, the news was all over the internet the following day. Abrams sent Shatner another message, sarcastically ”thanking” him for not spoiling the news but Shatner stood firm that he had nothing to do with the story leaking on the internet.
Star Trek's George Takei has opened up about tensions on set of The Original Series, but William Shatner has blasted his words.
WGTC: “Quentin Tarantino has said his connection to the original Star Trek show is William Shatner's Kirk, opening up the discussion for a possible return.”
WGTC: “William Shatner was again asked if he'd be up for a Star Trek return like Patrick Stewart, and he now says he would be.”
Anything, ANYTHING to replace that sordid TNG farewell. Don't know what they were thinking.
