Shatner not in the new movie?

If they bring back Kirk, don't you think that would trivialize his death in Generations?

IMO, that movie trivialized Star Trek

I say we dump everything we've ever seen in the trash AFTER Undiscovered County and start over

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

[ABMAC]

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.

wow that would really suck if they don't atleast give him a small part,we all know he's earned it and deserves it

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.
