Shatner Leaks Trek XI Details

Posted by Zonk on Friday January 12, 2007 @06:36PM from the shat-man-is-back dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The rumors that the next Star Trek movie would revolve around the earliest missions of Kirk and Spock have been confirmed by William Shatner in a Sci Fi Wire interview. J.J. Abrahms (creator of 'Lost') will direct, and has confirmed that a draft script is completed. So, the question is, will Shatner appear as a reminiscing older Kirk in the beginning, setting up the rest of the movie as a flash-back, or will geriatric-Kirk and young-Kirk meet?"

I hope it's old footage, everyone deserves to play opposite their favorite romantic lead at least once.

It wouldn't surprise me if Shatner decides no one is qualified to play a young him, demands a massive girdle, a shorter cut toupee and enough makeup to make Tammy Faye Baker blush and announce "I will play the young me!!"

if old Kirk and young Kirk meet by martin-boundary · 2007-01-12 19:25 · Score: 4, Funny

I'm afraid the scene where young Kirk and old Kirk meet and shake hands will have to be cut, because it causes an infinite recursive loop:
Old Kirk (to young Kirk): James T Kirk!
Young Kirk (to old Kirk): James T Kirk!
Old Kirk (to young Kirk): James T Kirk!
Young Kirk (to old Kirk): James T Kirk!
Old Kirk (to young Kirk): James T Kirk!
Young Kirk (to old Kirk): James T Kirk!
Old Kirk (to young Kirk): James T Kirk!
Young Kirk (to old Kirk): James T Kirk!
Old Kirk (to young Kirk): James T Kirk!
Young Kirk (to old Kirk): James T Kirk!
Old Kirk (to young Kirk): James T Kirk!
Young Kirk (to old Kirk): James T Kirk!
