After hearing the various rumors flying around the Star Trek remake, which was still one of the all time greats as far as the Star Trek series specifically goes, and probably as science fiction in general goes, it was a surprise to catch up to this new chunklet of news.
Apparently, there’s talk that no less than William Shatner will be coming back to the second installment of the remade Star Trek.
J.J. Abrams himself is apparently looking at bringing Shatner on Board, saying that he “would love to work with him (Shatner)”, but the big problem was that “his character died on screen in one of his (Shatner’s) Trek films and we that we wanted to adhere to Trek canon”. So let that be a lesson to you, kids…Shatner cares more about Shatner than he does established canon.
It’s pretty much shameful how Shatner’s been handling this pretty much since the inception of the Trek remake got started, so frankly, I’d sooner not see him back at all. But if Abrams can work out a way, I’m willing to work with it.
