William Shatner’s views on the new Star Trek trailer
Thursday, November 20, 2008
This found on YouTube: a short video showing what the original Captain Kirk, one William Shatner, thinks of being recast by a younger actor in J.J. Abrams’ new Star Trek movie. Yeah, I can see the logic to his thinking.

New vs. old Star Trek
Friday, October 17, 2008
Quickly, answer the following: which Kirk is wearing the girdle?
Now that we’ve finally had our first taste of what we can expect to see in J.J. Abrams new Star Trek movie, Cinemablend has put together a comparison between the old and the new versions of the characters, the costumes and the bridge of the Enterprise. For example, on the left we’ve got 27-year-old Chris Pine playing Captain Kirk at the start of his command and on the right we’ve got thirtysomething William Shatner as the original Captain Kirk from the 1960s TV series. Speaking for myself, Pine looks too young for my sensibility; I just can’t buy this guy commanding a starship. Modeling for a JCrew catalogue, yes.
