Star Trek (2009)
I am a fan of the original series starring William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy and DeForest Kelley. I never saw or followed the tidal wave of other series that traded on the popularity of the original. I did see and own the original cast Movies.
Now a new Star Trek film is in construction.
I have heard that Leonard Nimoy is a part of the production and William Shatner has publicly voiced his disappointment at not being approached to be involved in any way.
One thing I feel to be true is that William Shatner's magnetic performance held the TV Shows together and while the casting of the new Star Trek film looks careful, the casting of Chris Pine as Jim Kirk looks dubious.
Yes, I know it is too early to tell and I am judging by appearance and intuition but Shatner's confidence in his own acting ability and boundless charisma will be a hard thing to compete with.
