LOS ANGELES - The original Capt. Kirk is disheartened he won't get to boldly go anywhere with his old pal Spock in the new "Star Trek" movie.

While Leonard Nimoy is reprising his role as the pointy-eared Vulcan in next year's science-fiction flick, William Shatner is not on board as Kirk.

"I couldn't believe it. I'm not in the movie at all. Leonard, God bless his heart, is in, but not me," Shatner, 76, told The Associated Press on Thursday. "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."

His modesty is so adorable :sarcasm:

2. But you know what? He's right. Damn his collegened eyes, but the bastard is right.

3. I had heard he was offered a cameo

maybe he felt he was too good for that?

4. Agreed.

It may sound immodest but he's referring to himself in a professional capacity. He's not being boastful; he just knows he can draw in that demographic. They'd probably do better business with him included in the cast.

5. They could at least have cast his rug as a Tribble

or something. :P
