> In what all is starting to sound like miscommunication,
> William Shatner has responded to Star Trek director
> J.J. Abrams' comments from last week about why the
> actor is not reprising the role of Captain James T.
> Kirk in the May 8, 2009 release.

> It seems to us that someone in the film's production
> told Abrams that Shatner didn't want to do a cameo and
> wanted the movie to focus on him. As you can see from
> the video below, Shatner says he was never contacted
> by someone about taking part in the movie, but agrees
> that he wouldn't be up for just a cameo and suggests
> they resurrect him in the follow-up.
