Leonard Nimoy, William Shatner disappointed with Star Trek franchise

It seems that Star Trek stars Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner are still bitter about being left out of the latest film franchise.

Although Nimoy appears in a cameo role in the Next Generation films, and has remained good friends with Shanter, both actors refuse to talk about Trek.

“Bill and I have spent some time together, we have dinner periodically, and frankly, it’s a subject that we avoid,” Contactmusic quoted Nimoy as telling Los Angeles Times, “It’s not a fun subject right now. And I sympathise with him (Shatner) because I was left out of the Next Generation films. It is what it is.

“In the Next Generation movies, I did not appear and Kirk was killed. It was as though someone was trying to create a dividing line between the original, classic series and the New Generation crew. I was out and Bill was
dead.

“I assumed that was it, it’s over. I didn’t feel great about it, but I was OK with it. I’ve had my run, and I had a lot of other interesting things I wanted to do. I didn’t look back,” he added. (ANI)
