In the new issue of Star Trek Magazine, both William Shatner and director JJ Abrams once again insist that “the Shat” has no part in the upcoming Star Trek reboot. Here is a quote from Shatner, courtesy of Trekmovie:
“I have no connection with the film whatsoever. It’s the strangest thing. Even my dear friend Leonard [Nimoy] won’t tell me what it’s about.” Abrams claims that “the only cast member from the original films is Nimoy.”
This is weird timing that this comes out considering this weekend’s podcast episode (yet to be posted as today) was on this topic. Adam and I have been saying all along that we think that JJ will creatively surprise us and get Shat into the film. I still firmly beleive he will there in some kind of way whether it be a halogram or some type of [Nimoy] Spock flashback dream sequence.
Kevin has been a film fan his entire life and it is the one thing he truly loves to talk about. He considers himself an industry critic rather than a film critic. This is because he likes analyzing the news, the process of a film’s production, the film business aspects and the trends, rather than the finished product, although that doesn’t keep him from doing a movie review. His current day job is a Marketing Communications Coordinator for a real estate development and hospitality management company based in Memphis, TN. He is also a freelance social media consultant, pr guru. He is a contributing writer at Geeks of Doom under the pseudonym, “Graceland Geek”.
He is obsessed with Batman, pairs of “Chucks” Converse shoes, being the next big PR and Advertising Executive of a major company and he loves XBOX 360, soccer and the guitar.
