William Shatner has a new Captain’s Sob.
Shatner is upset that he is being ignored for the new Star Trek movie.
Shatner has been shut out of the project despite old pal Leonard Nimoy, who plays Vulcan Mr. Spock, signing up for the sci-fi film.
“How could you not put one of the founding figures into a movie that was being resurrected? That doesn’t make good business sense to me,” he told U.S TV show Extra.
“I’ve become even more popular than I was playing Captain Kirk. I’m good box office and I get publicity. But, they are going in a different direction and it’ll be a wonderful film.”
The movie, which is being directed by Lost creator J.J Abrams, is due out in December 2008.
The plot is a carefully guarded secret, but it is believed it will be set as an early adventure for the Enterprise crew.
Shatner’s Kirk character was killed off at the end of 1994’s ‘Star Trek: Generations’ movie.
The new movie stars Chris Pines as a young Kirk, Zachary Quinto as a young Spock, and British actor Simon Pegg as engineer Scotty.
