J.J. Abrams Is Thinking Shatner For Star Trek 2

Yay for TREK 2!!! Dammit, im turning into a TREKKIE Arrrrrrr!!!

I reckon that mirror universe an how about whats his name from Next gen, the beyonder guy,,, arrrr whats his name? Oh yeah Q!!!
Lmao SirPrize!!!

There were Tribbles in the new movie! When Spock and Kirk find Scotty on the outpost, listen to the background noise, you hear the tribbling. Scotty tells his story on how he got stuck out there and when he stands up you see a "birdcage" on his table and in the cage...Tribbles!

Or it's Manbearpig!

Now bringing Shatner back. I don't know about that the man is dead After Generations. How would they pull that off. I am not really up for that. Unless they bring him back During his time in the NeXXus before he meet Picard. To keep the alternate time lines in order I believe he would have to take him back to the NeXXus towards the end of the Movie.

@ spockali, U have my avatar & my last Name, Puzzling & interesting.

He said Shatner, not Shatner as old Kirk. Just because Nimoy reprised his role as a geriatric Spock doesn't mean that Shatner's potential role would be an alternate James T. Kirk. Who knows Shatner could play another role entirely, make just a cameo, or be Tiberious Kirk, the grandfather.

SO AFTER THE WORD "KHAN" IM GUESSING ITS THE EXTREME WRATH OF KHAN..OOOH SOUNDS GOOD..NOW POSES THE QUESTION..WHO TODAY CAN PLAY KHAN??? I SAY ANTONIO BANDERRAS !!!

I'm w/ gunsmith, Antonio Banderas should be Khan

@ Sir Prize, Lee, any more Shatner pictures those are hilarious

Try as I may, I can't understand the enthusiasm for Abrams' Trek. The plot had huge holes in it. There were way too many instances of "THAT was convenient!", where people or things just happened to be right there waiting to be found and/or used at different times, the camera work was atrocious (must EVERY scene be a closeup?). The fight scenes were way too close-up, with fists and things flying around with no backing up to show us who is fighting, and where they are in relation to each other. That seems to be the trend in how fight scenes are shot now, and I can't stand that crap. A close-up of a particularly good hit, or a finishing shot is fine, but otherwise, back the camera up some so we can see what's going on. I had other complaints with it, but I think previous reviewers have pretty well brought those up, and probably better than I could.

I know most people seem to love this film for some reason, but sorry! I just don't see the appeal. I just today joined http://nojarjar.ning.com , THE leading Trek board on the Net for Trek fans who dislike this movie, and encourage any of you other dissenters out there to join, too.

ON a related note, and sorry for being so damn long, some of those Kirk/Spock things posted in this thread were pretty funny. Thanks for sharing!

LOL, Those pics are awesome

Actually, one of the darkest moments of the film was seeing how much Leonard Nimoy has aged. I suppose I expected to see him in that red uniform looking exactly like he did when he last played Spock in the movies. Let's face it, that was almost eons ago. Instead, what we got was a very old man with wrinkled skin, sunken eyes and denture inhibited speech. I have to admit he hasn't aged as well as William Shatner, who now looks like Ryan O'Neal's plumped-face twin brother.

Shatner in the next movie? What is he 79 now? You figure that by the time they start work on the next film he'll be 80 or 81. 81 or 82 upon that film's release. Remember James Cagney in "Ragtime" at 85? If Shatner maintains his good health, his energy and charm should carry him through any new Star Trek film, in a token cameo role. But, JJ better get going soon, as time is growing rather short and precious for these aging actors. In fact, it's very doubtful will ever see Nimoy in pointed ears again - though I have been proven wrong before and so has he!

When you add a Nimoy or Shatner to a new Star Trek film you are mostly paying homage to these seminal ST character actors, by fast forwarding their characters and themselves into yet another - excuse the expression - "next generation" of the ST film series. This will lengthen their Star Trek shelf life and make them relevent to younger movie goers for years and years as they watch these films in the theatres and continue to enjoy them on Blu-Ray discs and whatver electronic media comes next. May they Live Long and Prosper.

went to see this today, iv never been interested in star trek, but it was awesome! anyone else notice that kirks mother also plays dr cameron in house?

EVERYTIME SHE LEAVES THE ONG GARK, THE VULCANS SAY"CHECK HER POCKETS.

I vote for the 1st fifteen minutes of Trek2 to be the last bit of the Doomsday Machine where Kirk's "shotgun" captaincy is called into question because the Captain of the Constitution had to sacrifice himself to save the day just like Kirk's dad.

And they can riff with that ageing disease in the original series where Shatner had to wear makeup. Instead have Chris Pine age into Shatner and give him his 15 minutes to save the day.

It would be cool to see the new crew go into the future to confront the future Khan, and to meet the old Kirk. However, time travel gets kind of old after a while.

I say no more time travel. Just reinvent the old "Space Seed" story for this generation.

They should of had JaJa Binks play Chekoff!
