William Shatner & Roberto Orci Respond To STAR TREK 3 Rumored Cameo

Could be another elaborate denial.. wink wink.

It makes me wonder who their actual sources are....

Random emails claiming to have Batman v Superman Scripts and leaked Casting sides?

" Right now it's just rhetoric to cause hype."

I don't care if Shatner will be in Star Trek 3.

Bring back Leonard Nimoy.

Watching the original series again showed me that Shat, Nimoy and Kelly had way, way more chemistry than Pine and his Spock and McKoy.

All them individually are pretty good, but I just don't see them as good bouncing off one another.

"From the people who said that Cumberbatch wasn't Khan"

LMAO, exactly. If this were any other rumor by any other site besides Badass, EVERYONE would be pointing out this exact same thing, saying how the creative minds behind these Trek movies haven't exactly had the best track record when it comes to...what did infamous 9/11 crackpot "truther" Roberto Orci say..."maintaining my integrity as a truth teller"? That's rich, coming from him.

As Reasonnnn said, Badass has a proven history of legitimate scoops. If users (and some power users) could get their anti-Devin Faraci agendas out of the way, it'd be pretty clear which side is most likely to be right and wrong in this particular circumstance.

I hope he is not in it. Time to let go of the past, stop retelling old stories, and look to the future.

I'm still laughing at the time Orci allowed us to see all of his insecurities when he started yelling at fans about how he was better than them.

I would rather see a cameo from Walter Koenig, than from Shatner. Have not seen Shatner playing anything else than Shatner at all. Koenig, on the other hand, is simply leagues apart in acting skills and has a hand for playing out complex and interesting characters believably.

As I recall, Shatner was pretty pissed that nobody called him for a cameo for the first of Abrams Trek films. So I wouldn't be surprised if he tells them to F*** off if they did ask.

Still pissed we didn't get a captain sulu mini series, a captain riker mini series or stuff like that.
They had all the sets and all the wardrobe and the cast in great shape. Huge misses opportunity.

LETS GOOOOO! He should cameo even if it's not as future Kirk. A Stan Lee type cameo would be acceptable. More Shat is always a good thing.

"William Shatner tweeted a response to the rumor as well, which you can view below."

And there's nothing below.
It's not loaded in my computer.
Shat!
What did he say?

@JediPhilosopher

I didn't dislike the idea. The laziness (if you want to call it that, though I wouldn't consider this laziness) of the writers that made the Nexus unexplained was fully acceptable by me because at that time, very few people knew about it. In this case, apparently only Soran and Guinan knew about it. And with good reasons, too.

1. Guinan was hesitant to talk about it and even more so to go there to keep as much distance as possible to the heavenly-yet-fake temptation.

2. People (of any race) who did go there, we can only assume, never got out. Kirk included among them.

So, when nobody knows about something, how could it be explained? In my opinion, if they go the Nexus way about it, although they still need to explain how to bring Kirk back to life, I don't think they need to explain the Nexus at all. Just consider it the mystery of the universe. Because on this timeline (the reboot timeline) it's back to square one where (or perhaps I should say "when") nobody knows about the Nexus, although in the Prime Timeline, we can assume the Federation knows about it and probably do some research on it based on Picard and the crew of the Enterprise's report.
