Spoilers STAR TREK BEYOND
- Thread starter Khan 2.0
- Start date
Patrick Stewart is not involved with the production of the film, so this is no more than a rumor.
and that he would be up for appearing but dosnt see how they'd work him in..
True, but I recall that they struck up a friendship whilst making Generations. That doesn't make it true, but it might be (almost) direct from Shatner...
Which might make it Shatner's wishful thinking. Or a game of telephone where Shatner said it was possible and Stewart misinterpreted it as actual.
What's that faint odour of pine in the air.
you can't beat the smell of pine nuts
Even the fanboy in me is over the idea of Shatner appearing (no matter "how well" it's done, or "how valid" it is). In fact, if I lean anyway at all these days, I'm actually apprehensive about it. And after all, Captain Kirk is already in this movie in all his glory.
What the fanboy in me thinks might be really neat is if there was about a five or ten minute short before the feature (like Pixar does, unrelated to the feature) which remembered Nimoy, Doohan, and Kelley and spoke somehow to the milestone of the fiftieth anniversary of "Star Trek". If that short ended with Shatner giving the classic monologue as we transition to the opening of the feature, all the better. I might squeal like a school girl if that happened (before I quickly composed myself).

I posted this idea either earlier in this thread, or in another. I figured it was the best way to work Shatner into a 50th tribute without the need to accommodate him in the story.
Ah, here it is:

They might have multiple chairs - which perhaps means the chair will come in for a battering in this movie?
With all the talk about "new worlds, new aliens", I think it's unlikely they'd risk another "John Harrison" situation.
Yeah, I recently figured that out
Could be. It'd stink if the winner got a beaten up chair.
Or maybe there's more than one chair in case one accidentally becomes damaged in shooting. Might be more time efficient to pop it out and replace it with an exact copy than to do a repair on set.
Could even be the captain's chair from a ship other than the Enterprise, Pine joke notwithstanding (or he sat in that ship's captain's chair as well
).Edited to add: No pun intended when I said "stink" above, but I'm not changing it anyway just because.
I don't know about that - depends if it got beat up in a great scene. Which would sell for more - an original Shatner top in pristine condition, or one of his notorious ripped tops (assuming its provenance could be verified)?
Oh my goodness, there's enough canon violations in just one picture to make your brain drain from your skull and drip into a Sarlacc's pit. Human can't initiate mind melds, you meld with the face and not the brain – what you're doing is called the Vulcan Forbidden Delight Grasp, Jim! Spock is using heavy metal horns instead of the Vulcan salute, and Idris Elba is playing the Borg Queen!!
Is it out yet, I want to watch it yesterday.
One of the Starfleet Academy novels featured an airborne swarm of Borg nanoprobes dissecting people in San Francisco before Kirk and McCoy went had it with a couple of modified hand phasers and a vacuum cleaner. Which worked about as well as you would expect, but it left the story's resolution kind of ope-ended.
Simon Pegg looks like Frank Gorshin in that picture.Oh my goodness, there's enough canon violations in just one picture to make your brain drain from your skull and drip into a Sarlacc's pit.
