Could Shatner and Nimoy Team Up in "Star Trek 3?"

[CBR News]

The original Captain Kirk might have a big role to play in the next "Trek" film, if Shatner is still interested in a return to the franchise.

No!! I'd rather see a Sulu crew adventure.

Getting the feeling Abrams is running out of ideas with NuTrek since he's going to rely on bringing folks from Original Trek in the film

Abrams is no longer involved, this is Roberto Orci, who never had an idea to begin with.

Though if he retcons Shatner's death from Generations, I would be cool with it.

It's both to late and to early in the timeline to do that.

I don't think even a retcon could renew my interest in this after Into The Darkness. Which was one big lets call back to original Trek even more instead of coming up with something new kind of movie.

Finally! That shouldn't have taken 3 movies.

[Biff Pow!]

Kirk should just show up at the end to bring old Spock home.

Then scrap NuTrek and just have a movie about old Kirk and Spock

So now what? Kirk-Prime gets resurrected via time-warp/wormhole/temporal rift/causality/etc., he shows up to rescue the Nu-Enterprise crew from some nutty calamity; in the meanwhile, he manages to "romance" quite a number of female folks, and maybe by the epilogue of the film, a female crew member is pregnant with his baby?

They opened the door for this the minute they decided keeping Nimoy's Spock around. This entire series is really just one fan circle jerk. They wanted to be their own thing but not piss off the TOS fans so they kept the old universe as an existing thing, and now they want to reference everything. I liked the first one, the second kind of sucked and it's because of too much trying to have your cake and eat it to.

That said getting Shatner and Nimoy together one more time might be worth it. Especially since it's been so long, seriously there are people that just graduated college this year who have never had this happen in their lifetime. 23 years. And sadly it might very well be the last chance Trek fans get at this. So I can't be too picky about this.

I see your point but this is just going to even further not make the NuTrek Universe stand out on it's own if they have to constantly rely on characters from Original Trek. Cause people are going to care more about an Old Kirk and Old Spock reunion than the NuTrek cast based on reasons you've already stated.

Ditch the new cast , just have old kirk and spock , add sulu and focus on them but before that , old kirk needs to use his moves on new uhuru.

What's sad about all of this is that Orci had some pretty cool ideas about the future of TNG (that have been explored in some of the comics) and could have probably made a good Next Next Generation Star Trek movie at least in the conceptual level.

[Arundel Armor Hunter]

Hell no, we don't need that arrogant blowhard. Nimoy was not needed in Darkness.

Might aswell.
