Will the Real Captain Kirk Please Stand Up

William Shatner, perhaps forever associated with the character that he made famous, James T. Kirk, Captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise, talks about J.J. Abrams' STAR TREK relaunch and the possible return of the original Kirk!





William Shatner has portrayed the character of James T. Kirk, Captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise, on television and in film for over thirty years and even voiced the character in a short-lived animated series. However, with J.J. Abrams' relaunch of the franchise just around the corner, a whole new generation of fans are going to experience Star Trek with newcomer Chris Pine in the captain's seat.

Though he won't be appearing in the film, Shatner has high hopes that the film will be successful, opening up the door for the original Kirk to live again. In a recent interview, Shatner said:

"[You] just know [Star Trek is] going to be wonderful because J.J. Abrams is such a good moviemaker. I just regret that I'm not a part of it. But if it's successful, then maybe there will be a call."

Star Trek opens May 8, 2009!
