William Shatner admits he's not completely sold on the concept of alien life and he's even passed up the chance to actually travel into outer space, but one opportunity he'd grab in an instant would be to return to the role of Captain James T. Kirk for Quentin Tarantino's potential "Star Trek" film project.
"Oh my god -- that would be extraordinary," the 88-year-old star of the original 1966 "Star Trek" series told CNN before taking the stage at Alien Con in Los Angeles, one of the largest gatherings of alien life enthusiasts and experts. "That would be wonderful. He's a dynamic director."
"I've gotten to know Tarantino a little bit over the years," Shatner revealed, having previously sounded off on social media in favor of the filmmaker bringing his famously R-rated sensibility to the 50-plus years old sci-fi franchise. "He flirted with the idea of my being in one of his movies, and I never did -- I don't know why. But what an extraordinary last trumpet note that would be. My goodness."

Chris Pine is the best Kirk since the REAL Kirk but there is only one Kirk and its William Shatner

Tarantino is famously a huge Trekkie and I am intrigued what he'd do with the franchise. The foul language alone would be hilarious.
No doubt. I was raised on old TOS episodes (City on the Edge of Forever is one of my GOAT TV episodes) and probably watch it at least once a week. I love it dearly. They did Kirk dirty in Generations and I'd love to see him get one last go.RaceBannon said:Chris Pine is the best Kirk since the REAL Kirk but there is only one Kirk and its William Shatner
Did you ever watch DS9? -
I did DS9 but it's the first one I bailed on early

Back in the day my buddy had a Galant VR4. We used to get super stoned and see how fast we could go on 509. He would yell CAPTAIN KIRRRRRKKK!!!!!!111 as he shifted into 4th gear.

Quentin Tarantino Says If He Commits to Directing ‘Star Trek,’ That’s His Last Movie
Legendary "Star Trek" actor William Shatner has already given Tarantino his approval to make an R-rated entry in the space franchise.
