Shatner ticked off about Abrams directing Star Wars

Video no longer working?

I read (second hand) that the full Shat quote was:

 

He's being a pig. He's collecting the two franchises and holding them close to his vest. He's probably the most talented direct of that ilk that we have, but he's gone too far this time. I think of him as a buddy of mine, I've taken him out for sushi, I think it's time for JJ and I to have another sushi and let me put him straight about two of the largest franchises and not employing me in either one of them, I think is just foolhardy.

 

Just picture the never-quite-sure-if-serious-or-joking Shat saying the last sentence, and in this case I think he is being a comedian.

My bad, I went to your link, and then to make sure I got the original quote right I tried going to that article's source link at MovieFanatic and that's where there was a video -- but then I forgot I had left your original link. At that time the video was not working for me, but now it is.

while i think shatner is a bit old and grumpy, he does have a point...kinda. these are two of the biggest sci-fi properties in hollywood history and it feels kinda weird to have them directed by the same guy. though at the same time, it didnt seem like many if any other directors were interested soooooo...if no one else (of quality) is up for the taking, it may as well be abrams. he freshened up the first trek film and made it interesting and entertaining so hopefully he'll do the same with SW.

the only problem i see is if one interferes with the other I certainly don't think he will be able to put any effort towards startrek movies while he is doing starwars 7 8 9 all in a row
