Just
had an email from 'Shan' regarding the next Star Trek movie, who says that a certain
Captain Kirk, yep William Shatner, will be returning!
CanMag.com
reports that Captain Kirk might be returning to the bridge of the Enterprise
for the next "Star Trek" film. Not only that - he'll be joined by Patrick
Stewart's Captain Picard and Scott Bakula's Johnathan Archer, of "The Next
Generation" and "Enterprise", respectively.
The
site claims that the idea to set the next "Trek" movie as a prequel,
with the action centering on the students of the Starfleet Academy, has been trashed.
Instead, they're considering doing a sequel that will be set in the "Mirror"
Universe - which we've seen in both "Star Trek" and "Enterprise"
before - which will make it possible for several of the 'captains' to team up.
(After all, there's no rules/no continuity restrictions in the 'Mirror' universe).
"Apparently
Shatner was in talks to do a guest role on Enterprise, but it didn't work out.
Why? Apparently he wanted a) more money b) would rather do Trek films. Solution?
The ideas for the episode of the "Enterprise" episode he was going to
do will now be incorporated into a movie. Yep, Captain kirk's back", says
the site. "It'll be Shatner, Captain Picard and maybe Archer".
Let's
just hope this new "Trek" movie is better than the last one - "Star
Trek : Nemesis"!
