As the film-adaption of "Star Trek" continues to make headlines, William Shatner says he can't understand why he wasn't asked to make a cameo.
“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!” Shatner said at a signing for his book, "Star Trek Academy: Collision Course" in Hollywood.
Director JJ Abrams has offered Leonard Nimoy and several past cast members the chance to make a cameo in the sci-fi spectacle.
Shatner told “Extra” that he would have been great for the film, insisting, “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."

Respectfully, Joanne doesn’t get it. It DOESN’T make good business sense…for $$$ or for fans. Shatner IS a large reason for ST’s success, as is Nimoy, Roddenberry, etc. All should be respected. If NONE of them had been contacted and just invited to the premiere as honored guests, that would have been understood…but to offer roles and cameos to others and NOT Shatner. Bad. Bad. Bad.
