William Shatner Snubbed from Star Trek Movie?

Wendy — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 21:31:35 +0000

Since when is William Shatner snubbed from Star Trek Movies? Since JJ Abrams is taking on the new Star Trek prequel – that’s when.

The original Captain Kirk and current “Boston Legal” star wasn’t too happy about being left out of the new film. “How could you not put one of the founding figures into a movie that was being resurrected? That doesn’t make good business sense to me.”

“I’ve become even more popular than I was playing Captain Kirk. I’m good box office and I get publicity. But, they are going in a different direction and it’ll be a wonderful film.”

Shatner may have been left off of the opening credits, but his former costar, Leonard Nimoy has a role in the film. Zachary Quinto, Eric Bana and Winona Ryder round out the cast.
