Star Trek producer/director J.J. Abrams was a guest of The Adam Corolla Show on Thursday morning to talk about his new production Cloverfield and his upcoming Star Trek movie. Here are few excerpts from the 5-minute interview.
Regarding why William Shatner was not cast as an older James T. Kirk in the Star Trek prequel, Abrams said "Cmon, Shatner is an icon, he is an amazing guy, I really wanted to put him in the movie, like I put Leonard Nimoy in. The truth is that Shatner died, his character died in the movie [Generations], he shot the scene in that movie in which Kirk dies. If I put him in... I just saying it was tricky."
"The reason I am doing this movie is because the script is great." he said "You don't have to know a thing about Star Trek to see this movie, get on board and love the characters. We are making it for the fans on the one hand, but the truth is that we are making this movie for people who don't know a thing about Star Trek."

Quote from StillKirok:
Abrams hasn't had the guts to talk about this since July, where he continued his lie.
Early on, Shatner too was emphasizing the resurrection dilemma.
The past year has looked like a farce of dysfunctional communication, spotlighted by Shatner's pomp to the media and melodramatic videos. It all smacks of a hyperbolic publicity scheme.
If Shatner is a no-show in ST:XI, you'll have cause to say Abrams is unable to choose goals that are realistic for his team -- but that's no proof of a lie. There's no need to attribute malice to something which can be adequately accounted for by incompetence.

This has been a news item before. Abrams has answered this question several times.
Why does Trekweb continue to beat this dead horse? The subject is closed. Why continue throwing read meat to the Shatnerbators? They're sharks in the water whenever this subject arises, and all you do is instigate them (and thus make everyone else miserable) with these 'stories'.

The autumn days swung soft around me, like cotton on
my skin. But as the embers of the summer lost their
breath and disappeared, my heart went cold, and
only hollow rhythms resounded from within.
