    Shatner not in the new movie?

    This came as a surprise to me, I assumed that since Nemoy was in it, Shatner was as well. If he wants to be in it, they absolutely MUST make room right? You can't **** off the classic trek fans--or pretty much no one will go see this movie.

      IMO, it's going to suck with-or-without the Shat.

      I hope he keeps playing it cool and stays away from it.

      IMO, the movie big-time is going to tank.......

      If Bill was smart (which I think he is) --- he'll let the ship go down without him

      The whole thing is a joke.

        If there's no justifiable reason for including his character in the movie, why should Shatner be in it? After agreeing to let them kill Kirk, he should've stopped expecting to be in the sequels.

          I think there are way too many Trekkies out there to let this tank,Plus I know I like the cast a lot,so I have a good feeling about this one

            The thing is ........
            Shat, just as much as Captain Kirk is the GOD of the whole Trek franchise.
            Kirk dying in that Next Gen movie is irrelevant.
            If Kirk suddenly woke up from his grave and said I'M BACK with no explanation whatsoever, most Trekkies --including me, would take it as gospel.

              Without Shatner in the new movie....I wouldn't even bother seeing it. Kirk was, is, and will always be Star Trek. Period.

                OK, they'd take it as gospel, but *should* they do it? Just because they can, doesn't mean it would make a good story.

                If they bring back Kirk, don't you think that would trivialize his death in Generations? If he came back, you'd watch the movie and say, "OK, he's dead, but he comes back later." This way, Kirk's dead, huge tragedy, he stays dead. This isn't Marvel Comics here.

                  This movie is gonna suck donkey dork, just out of principle I won't be seeing it.

                  What a slap in the face to Shatner and to Trek fans. I hope fans boycott this movie.

                    yeah but remember he's not playing Capt.Kirk,this movie is going back to the beginning when they were younger,so it's as if the Kirk death thing never happened,so why not put him as another character? Maybe playing a relative of Kirk or 1 of the top Guys in command or something

                        But we can't, as that's now officially canon. It may suck, but everybody knows that Robin Hood, King Arthur, and Captain Kirk eventually died.

                          At the time, I got the whole "kill Kirk so he dies like Arthur and other classic heroes, etc." thing. But now I think it was Trek's biggest single mistake. Besides the fact that Kirk is incredibly out of character throughout the Generations movie, Kirk's fate should have been left a mystery that was ocassionally referred to, but no definite answer given. That way we could each decide in our own minds where the character ended up.

                          If they could work in Kirk as Shatner in the movie, that'd be fine. But I don't want them shoehorning him in for a hokey cameo. Scotty and Chekov's pressence in Generations is just...odd...without Spock and Bones. They should have left them out altogether.

                            Actaully Shatner himself has already undone the death scene in the Novels he wrote in the 90's. get this "the borg salvaged the body and restored it as their agent" of coarse Spock and picard brought his memores back. If anyone wants to know the titles PM me and I can find them in my stacks of books

                              If ENTERPRISE taught me anything it's that trekkies aren't lemmings flocking to whatever drivel they put out. Trekkies/trekkors will tune in only as long as the product lives up to the standards they expect from ST tos. If this recreated movie isn't as good the fans will communicate with each other soon enough.
