Sy Fy Portal posted an interview with Bring Back Kirk campaign organizer known simply as Marc, in which he talks about William Shatner recent remarks that he is not in J.J. Abrams upcoming Star Trek prequel movie. Here are few excerpts.
"It's a bit disappointment," Marc told SyFy Portal's Michael Hinman. "For over a year, J.J. Abrams has been teasing about the return of William Shatner, yet based on Mr. Shatner's comments, Mr. Abrams has not so much as shown him the script."
The last time Abrams spoke out about putting Shatner in the film he said that the producers were "desperately" trying to get him on board. "Yet, Mr. Shatner's comments don't seem to show any attempt at all by Mr. Abrams since that comment was made," Marc said. "These actions have upset a lot of fans. When someone teases the return of William Shatner for ever a year and doesn't deliver, naturally people are going to be upset."
Some fans are organizing a boycott of the film, but it's not being led by BBK, Marc said.
"His presence will bring in a lot more money, and his absence will cost them money," Marc said. "Not to mention, he is a publicity machine. His absence from the film has generated a lot of press worldwide.
"Imagine what his presence would do. I don't want Abrams to put Shatner in out of fear, but he does need to realize that his movie is taking a publicity hit due to his failure to include Shatner to date. This decision will cost them money at the box office. Say what you want about [Shatner], but he does put butts in seats."
