William Shatner vs Chris Pine

It could have been such a great moment but unfortunately, not all the old cast of Star Trek were happy to meet up with their young prequel counterparts. William Shatner was very much absent on the red carpet at the LA premiere of Star Trek.

The Star Trek veteran who played the original captain James T. Kirk, couldn´t get over his disappointment at not having been cast in the Star Trek movie. “I couldn’t believe it. I’m not in the movie at all. Leonard, God bless his heart, is in, but not me.” Sounds like sour grapes to me, because Shatner was approached about a cameo, but he insisted on a bigger part.

Director JJ Abrams was sorry Shatner refused the smaller part but stuck to his guns about not including old Kirk in a big part. Abrams stated he didn´t want to “shove” Shatner in.
