Re: Roberto Orci want both Shatner and Limoy in Star Trek 3
That doesn't necessarily mean it's not true.
I've been expecting something like this...we all know the tradition of fan service on the big ST anniversaries...we'll just have to wait and see!

Badass Digest is the source. This is Devin saying "I have learned... " and even he acknowledges it's a long shot.
Bottom line: even if such a scene does in fact exist in the current version of the script, chances are probably better than even that it never gets filmed.
Two things in that article caught my eye:

William Shatner probably will be playing Captain James T. Kirk grandfather Tiberius Kirk.

Why do you ask for a link? It just only speculation.
Re: Roberto Orci want both Shatner and Limoy in Star Trek 3
I think Shatner is going to play elderly Winona Kirk and will be hooking up with Spock Prime!
Baseless speculation is fun!

Re: Roberto Orci want both Shatner and Limoy in Star Trek 3
All for it
Love to see him and Spock show up in a gigantasized Enterprise-A
For the save
We all know old Spock loves to play fast and loose with the rules of time travel
Goes back to Veridian 3 beams Kirk up as he tumbles to his death on the ultra futuristic cast iron and chain link walkway panel
Easy fix
Steals museum enterprise A
Takes into jjverse where it magically grows to 750 meters
Kills some Ahole Klingons
Drop kicks some D bag alien
Poignant nimoy Shatner brotherly love scene
High fives and I go home happy

That's not what "probably will be" means.

I'd love it if Shatner came back. Him and Nimoy sharing a scene together after 25 years would probably bring tears to my eyes.

I'd give this story some credence if the source were any good. Devin Faraci doesn't have a good track record when it comes to spoilers. Some have even accused him of making them up.
I'm not saying the story isn't true, I'm just saying that it should be taken with a grain of salt. Even Faraci admits it's a long shot.

I would probably watch that movie.
I think Shatner is going to play elderly Winona Kirk and will be hooking up with Spock Prime!
Re: Roberto Orci want both Shatner and Limoy in Star Trek 3
It probably would me too but I still don't want it to happen. It's placing sentimentality over the good of the movie unless it is done extremely well. Getting those two back in the same movie smacks of Generations and a muddled mess. Let this cast drive forward and stand on their own just once. Please. Or what has been the point in this 'reboot'

Re: Roberto Orci want both Shatner and Limoy in Star Trek 3
nope to the highest level of NOPE
I like these movies for the new characters and the possibilities of this being another reality. Stid already had too much fanservice but I'm still here hoping that they get back to what made the first movie new and successful. If they won't and the third movie will be a fan service fest I hope to read the spoilers in time so that I can save myself from being too disappointed and perhaps I can decide to not watch it at all and move on.
eta: not that I believe this rumor but as a general feeling I worry that Orci and the two new writers WILL do even more fanservice and fanpandering than in stid.
Orci is human and with him being a first time director and also his history with the fans over trekmovie (that in no way are the majority of the fandom but try to explain it to some people there... ) he might try to keep it too 'safe' and do a third movie trying to appease that very vocal minority of people online, which is a terrible idea.
It doesn't make me feel better that the new writers helping him also are first timers when it comes to big franchises and they need to prove themselves so I fear that these 3 people will think way too much about what tos elitists want.
People like JJ are everything this franchise needs precisely because he will never do a movie just for the star trek fans (or at least those vocal online who want everything to be like tos and can't let go of Shatner&co)
People like him don't give a damn about what haters say. He's a successful director, he has confidence over his job now and the box office proved him right. I suspect he doesn't even bother reading what fans or haters say online.
Orci on the other hand interacts way too much with the fanboys over trekmovie and I never liked that. Granted, he interacts to defend himself and his movies for the most part but again, he's still human.. and no one likes getting criticized...
