William Shatner on Being Left Out of 'Star Trek' Film: 'It Doesn't Make Sense'

 

Published 11/21/2007 at Extra

As the film-adaption of "Star Trek" continues to make headlines, William Shatner says he can't understand why he wasn't asked to make a cameo. “How could you not put one of the founding figures into a movie that was being resurrected? That doesn’t make good business sense to me!” Shatner said at a signing for his book, "Star Trek Academy: Collision Course" in Hollywood. Director JJ Abrams has offered Leonard Nimoy and several past cast members the chance to make a cameo in the sci-fi spectacle. (link)
