I bet you this:

1, NIMOY WILL HAVE A CAMEO IN THIS MOVIE

2, THERE WILL BE A SPOCK DEATHBED SCENE

2, SHATNER WILL NOT BE IN IT

The rest of the story will be around the new cast (don’t really care who they are)
I’m taking bets now.

I totally agree to message 101 – scott. You simply cannot make a Star Trek film dealing with Kirk and Spock, telling about their academy days, showing us how it all began and, on the other hand, disregard the actors who really MADE Star Trek.

Futhermore, the most recognizable ST-character definitely is Kirk. He and the legendary partnership Kirk – Spock are most near to the public’s heart.

Therefore, bringing back Kirk/Shatner (i. e. as THE CAPTAIN and as actor) at last, is imperative!

Bringing back Shatner & Nimoy would bring back a lot of old trek fans who left after Generations. Sometimes when you piss of fans, some of them never come back. After the MLB strike a few years ago, some fans never returned. There was a UPS strike in 1997 after which some customers never returned. People move on & find other things to do or use. Star Trek has sucked in everyway after the death of Kirk for the most part. There are IMHO a few exceptions, First Contact, Worf on DS9 & a few episodes of the last season of Enterprise. But for the most part just boring crap that Rick & company used over & over. The problem now as always is Paramount. I wish they would sell the property to a company that would use it correctly. The funny thing is, as time goes on & technology gets better, some fan films may in fact be much better then any offical project in terms of creativity. It really is all about stories & characters. Kirk & Spock are the first characters the general public thinks of regarding Star Trek. Thats why they are using them in this new story.
So why not go further & have Shatner & Nimoy be in the film?
It would certainly help & draw more people opening weekend.
Another good thing Shat & Nimoy would bring is repeat business.
The same people going to theater over & over. Just like Star Trek 2 & 3!
It really makes no since to bring Kirk back to the big screen without Shatner showing up somewhere validating the thing.
However the dopes in suits always find a way to make something suck.
Who cares if Shatner wants a lot of money, lets just make the first reboot movie good & put Shatner in it. If the new film performs well at the box office it will open the door for another film or tv series. This is obvious.
This movie is more of a investment in the franchise itself. Lots of things are on the line, so don’t be cheap. The extra millions you spend today could bring back a Billion over the next ten years.

To Joe:

The TOS, which is the foundation of STAR TREK, not TNG, has less stories produced in the TV/movie arena than TNG, DS9, VOYAGER, or ENTERPRISE!!! In my opinion, any new TREK SHOULD feature TOS and/or it’s crew. TNG had it’s time at the movies and failed terribly at it. Time to send in a new crew at bat to get the job done and that is NOT TNG, DS9, VOYAGER, or ENTERPRISE, but TOS!

If Shatner is not in this movie I will refuse to eat my vegetables! Also I will stamp my foot on the ground repeatedly and yell “No! No! No!”

“It is possible the NYP has convoluted that into Shatner being ‘furious.’”
