Shatner Wants In On Abrams' Trek!

Shatner Wants In On Abrams' Trek! With all the talk of J.J. Abrams new, upcoming take on Star Trek via a prequel, everyone seems to have forgotten one key Trek component: Shatner. Abrams has been hinting that his movie will feature a younger version of Kirk and Spock… but even if he casts some younger actor in the part, for anyone with taste there'll always be only one real Captain James T. Kirk.

So where does Shatner fit in? When the rumor that Matt Damon might be cast as Captain Kirk first started floating around, along with it came word that Shatner had given the Bourne star his seal of approval. But does that mean we can't get the real deal Bill in the film? Apparently he's ready and willing if Abrams will have him.

Bill Shatner spoke to the tawdry TV entertainment show "Extra" this weekend, and when asked if he'd be involved he said he's ready to go. William Shatner is up for more Star Trek if Abrams asks him. He wants a part. Of course, the fact that he's sitting there waiting to be asked probably means fairly definitely that the great Shat doesn't figure into Abrams' franchise jump-starting plans. Still, can't he get a cameo? Maybe Shatner as an alien? A Klingon? Come on J.J., Star Trek needs the real Captain Kirk.

  • If Horta does not use Shatner in some aspect especially for the "Final Frontier" he is absolutely missing out on a key way to connect with "All Trekkies" period... totally stupid of him if he does not utilise every rsource possible.
    Doubtful if Shatner has a role in movie but the voice is perfect way to connect..the reminicing part would be very powserful lead in to the movie - adding tremendous credilbility but who says Horta is smart enough to realise that????
  • Well, a voiceover as a framing device might be kind of cheesy, but using his voice for the "space, the final frontier" speech would be awesome.

    Of course it'll never happen. Shatner will be lucky if Abrams lets him play a Horta, let alone be involved in anything as significant as a voice over.
  • They should use Shatner for a voiceover framing device: his voice setting the scene as he reminisces about how impossibly young and brash they all once were, etc. Or use his voice for the "space, the final frontier" speech.
