I think he'll do a fantastic job though. Sulu looks BADASS in thsi movie. It’s funny, out of those names, that John Cho actually WOULD actually be playing Sulu.

Star Trek definitely has a core message of solidarity and using technology to advance the human race rather than destroy ourselves. That's a good message and I hope it's captured in the new movie.

I was born when the series aired. Now that I am 42 years old Star Trek still plays a roll today in my life. <br><br>I am not going to get all philosophical here but let’s not forget that Gene Rodenberry’s vision of the future was what Star Trek was truly all about. A planet called Earth and its inhabitants reaching beyond the stars and travelling the universe working as one to attain peace, prosparity and acceptance of all races. Just image today if there was no famine, war, poverty and our planet was clear of green house gasses and everything was done to make things environmentally safe. <br><br>Picture it if our Governments truly did listen to the people and a coalition of all people working together to obtain a better world and life for everyone. WOW what a dream it is and what a place it would be to live in. Thanks to Star Trek most of the gadgets in the original series and the ones there after which need no mention, did come to life today just in another shape, form or style. The technology today is unbelievable. As a kid watching Star Trek I could only dream of such things. Now at the age of 42 here I am in my own home working away on a computer! And my cell phone is at my side and my cordless home phone on the other side. The world is at the tip of figures thanks to the internet. I can’t thank Gene enough for making my world such a wondrous and unique time for here it is 2008 and there could be a Mars mission in the next few years. The point to all that I have said is this, what difference is it going to make if James T. Kirk is going to be in the next movie and Spock is that is not what should be the topic of concern. What should be taken into account is that people are still interested in the shows, Movies and everything they represented. As long as we still continue to follow the dream and get the message out there PEACE AND ALL WORKING TOGETHER TO ABTAIN A SAFE WORLD. Hopefully in the next 50 years we will be travelling around the universe at warp speeds and meeting new and exciting races and perhaps fantastic plants. Kirk and Spock will be long gone by than and will they even be of concern 50-100 years from now.

You must either offer up a pure "fake" or give up and do your own thing. I'm not sure either will do much for me. Also Spock is to appear as a very old version of himself and as Kirk was killed off his role as an older version of Kirk, as his age and uh, girth would require him to play, Is not going to be a possibility. hmmm not so sure one can recapture the magic that is original star trek.

Shatner came on board, it is ok to make new characters and I would love to see a new show, but people like me, that have loved Star Trek form the beginning and have all the movies and video and DVD, would rather see the old characters come back than be replaced with pretend ones Remember in the movie Generations when Kirk gave the order to get under way, take her out, and they all clapped and Scotty said it brings a tear to my eye, well it did for me and also a shiver all over, you can not replace that all the best Joanne You should have put W.

The Shat is still Kirk - that's all I can say.

I'm not in the movie at all. Leonard, God bless his heart, is in, but not me," Shatner, 76, said. "I thought, what a decision to make, since it obviously is a decision not to make use of the popularity I have to ensure the movie has good box office. It didn't seem to be a wise business decision." He claims he had met with Abrams, but nothing has come of it. I don't have too much of problem of not having the old dudes, but I agree that if you include Nimoy, not including Shatner is a diss. But surely a funny cameo could work, right? Despite the outcome, I can't help but laugh a little. With the size of Shatner's ego, this must come as a huge, huge blow to the guy...

If Nimoy is in there, not having Shatner is kind of a snub. I hope Abrams figures out a way to get the Shat in the movie. Yeah since I wrote this post, there have been casting announcements.

I would be too! Why cant they at least roll him as a retired Admirel or something. He's still alive People! Dust off His rug and stand Him in a corner for crying out loud! When i saw Christopher Reeve appear on "Smallville" in his wheelchair, I felt like standing up and saluting. A Brilliant Homage! I hope they re-think they're decision on this!!

I'm not even a Star Trek fan, and even from a casual standpoint, Shatner is integral. On a side note, "Has Been" is genius. I've seen some of The Next Generation, and I like Patrick Stewart...I think you're on to something with having a different cast portray different characters. That looks…kind of strange.
