Patrick Stewart Says STAR TREK XI May Feature Characters from Various TREK Series

Features

STAR TREK THE NEXT GENERATION star Patrick Stewart has just been interviewed on ITV's THIS MORNING show in a prelude to the UK premiere of his new show ELEVENTH HOUR.



He was again questioned about the rumours of a new TNG film. He was tight lipped but did say there was "great interest" in getting the TNG cast together again as well as including characters from the other series.

Stewart reveals, "It has been raised. Apparently there's interest in bringing THE NEXT GENERATION cast together with actors from different STAR TREK series."

Then they asked him if this meant Captain James T. Kirk would return, and he replied that he hoped so because William Shatner was a good friend. "I would love that. I'm very fond of William Shatner." he said.

Stewart also talked about X-MEN 3 and his play A CHRISTMAS CAROL. 'I've just finished a run in the West End of A CHRISTMAS CAROL and I'm now looking forward to a year in Warwickshire, Stratford upon Avon, being a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company for a whole season of plays. I don't see one genre as being more significant than the other, although I'm very excited about Stratford because that was a huge part of my early career, and it meant so much to me. One of the reasons I became an actor was to do that kind of work, I didn't become an actor to work in film or television, I had no ambitions for that, it just kind of happened along the way. I think X-MEN 3 might be the best of the trilogy. It's very emotional and exciting.'

Thanks to Bring Back Kirk for the news.

This would clearly be the best way to do it. Bring back Kirk and Picard with the new cast that will lead Trek into it's "next generation" It's a no lose scenerio. And it is also the way ST 11 is going to get made.
