New Star Trek Snubs Shatner
Rumour has it that William Shatner is upset that he has not been cast in the new Star Trek movie.
Director J.J Abrams (Lost, MI:III) has reportedly left Shatner out of the movie’s lead roles, but was considering asking the actor to make a cameo.
That idea didn’t go over so well with Shatner.
“I don’t do cameos. I can’t imagine what I would do as a cameo,” he reportedly has said on the issue.
The 11th adaptation of the Star Trek series will however feature a prominent role for fellow veteran, Leonard Nimoy as Mr. Spock. Heroes star Zachary Quinto, will play a younger version of the pointy eared Vulcan.
Chris Pine and Zoe Saldana are also set to star in the new movie, which kicks off shooting next month.
