Shatner will be playing “Old Kirk” in Star Trek XI. I have no hope for this movie.
As for Shatner’s place in that storyline? “They need to figure out how to put the dead captain in with the young captain,” he said. “It’s a very complex, technical problem of how to write the character in, and I’m not sure how they will solve it.” It sounds as if Shatner may play an older version of Kirk.
Not So Fast 
I have no hope for this movie.
Nor have I. I miss the old Roddenberry flare.
Indeed, some short skirts, a little cheesy dialogue, but somehow he made it great.
