If There s Any True Logic to the Universeã¢â‚¬â¦ We ll End Up on That Bridge Again Someday
Nigh fans can remember that one of the biggest debates around JJ Abrams Star Trek picture was nearly if it would (or should) include William Shatner. The motion picture makers spoke of how they tried to discover a fashion, only in the terminate felt it wouldn't work. However, JJ Abrams revealed that Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman did write a scene for Shatner, and today we accept that scene for you to read.
Putting Shatner into Star Trek (2009)
TrekMovie received the scene beneath from 1 of our trusted sources and it has been verified to be the scene written for Shatner (but never shown to Shatner). The "Alternate Scene B" actually creates alternative versions two scenes from the end of the movie: the moment between Spock Prime number (Nimoy) and Spock (Quinto) in the hangar, plus the award ceremony with Kirk (Pino), Pike (Greenwood) and the Commandant (Tyler Perry).
Including Shatner would have fabricated alternatives to these ending scenes
Shatner would have played Kirk, but would have appeared as a recording. The timing of the recording is not stated, but would have accept been before Star Expedition Generations and therefore not violate the canon that Kirk was killed in Generations. JJ Abrams has often noted that dealing with Kirk's death was one of the hindrances of including him in the new Star Trek.

The Scene
Here it is…
—————————
ALTERNATE SCENE B
SPOCK PRIME
And so I ask that y'all exercise yourself a
favor… put abroad logic, and do what
feels right. The world you lot've inherited
lives in the shadow of incalculable
devastation… merely there's no reason y'all
must confront information technology alone.
And from around his neck, he removes the PENDANT that
until now, we've but defenseless glimpses of. Places it on
the tabular array beside his younger self. The feeling in his
eyes is profound…
SPOCK Prime (CONT'D)
This was a gift to me. Representing…
a dream. One we were unable to fulfill.
(softly)
The way y'all can now.
And moves to the door. Stops. Offers the VULCAN SALUTE:
SPOCK Prime number (CONT'D)
Every bit my customary cheerio would appear
oddly cocky serving, I will only say…
good luck.
Their eyes hold. Spock turns, disappearing into the
corridor. Young Spock stares at the empty doorway a
beat, his listen a jumble of thoughts. Looks to the
pendant… and realizes it's a HOLO-EMITTER. Later
considering a shell, he hits an activation button and a
MOVING HOLOGRAPHIC Bulletin materializes before him:
CAPTAIN JAMES T. KIRK. WILLIAM SHATNER. As ever,
brash, wry, confident — and SINGING:
KIRK/ SHATNER
Happy birthday to y'all, happy altogether to
yous…
(stops, grins)
I know I know, it'southward illogical to
gloat something you had naught to exercise
with, merely I haven't had the gamble to
congratulate you on your appointment to
the ambassadorship so I thought I'd seize
the occasion… Bravo, Spock — they tell
me your kickoff mission may take you away
for awhile, so I'll exist the first to wish
y'all luck… and to say…
(trounce, emotional)
I miss you lot, old friend.
… and we're PUSHING IN on Young Spock, taking in the
paradigm of Kirk's future self, the message, but above all —
the clear, unquestionable friendship these two men had…
INT. CORRIDOR – CONTINUOUS
As Spock Prime number walks off down the corridor, he passes
right by a man conferring with a nurse — the homo pauses,
turns… it'due south SAREK. All of a sudden overcome past a feeling that
the stranger who's just passed him is… oddly familiar.
KIRK/SHATNER (V.O.)
I suppose I'd always imagined us…
outgrowing Starfleet together. Watching
life swing us into our Emeritus years…
INT. STARBASE One – HANGAR – ETERNAL Dark
MUSIC BUILDING — glass walls reveal THE ENTERPRISE at
dock, UTILITY CRAFTS floating around it, repairing.
Standing at attention in rows, THE ENTERPRISE Coiffure —
over four hundred of them wearing Apparel UNIFORMS — Rail
DOWN the faces, all proud:
KIRK/SHATNER (Five.O.)
I look around at the new cadets now and
tin't assistance thinking… has it really been
then long? Wasn't information technology only yesterday nosotros
stepped onto the Enterprise as boys?
That I had to show to the crew I
deserved command… and their respect?
And we Terminate ON YOUNG KIRK. Composed, focused, proud. A
man. And to every fan'southward please, finally wearing his
Xanthous SHIRT. The FEDERATION COMMANDANT stands at a
podium:
COMMANDANT
This assembly calls Captain James
Tiberius Kirk…
Kirk breaks from germination, pivots, marches down the
hangar — past UHURA… SULU… CHEKOV… SCOTTY. All
Beaming. Notably absent-minded, is Spock. Kirk ascends the
stairs, snaps to attention:
COMMANDANT (CONT'D)
Your inspirational valor and supreme
dedication to your comrades are in
keeping with the highest traditions of
service and reflect utmost credit to
yourself, your coiffure, and the Federation.
By Starfleet Order 28455, y'all are hereby
directed to written report to Commanding Officer,
USS Enterprise, for duty every bit his relief.
Kirk turns. Walks to… PIKE. In a wheelchair now,
wearing an ADMIRAL'Due south Uniform. Overnight, his hair's
turned totally grey — just despite his trauma, his
pride's overwhelming. They SALUTE each other:
KIRK
I save you, Sir.
PIKE
… I am relieved.
He opens a BOX in his lap — glorious in tranquility, a MEDAL:
PIKE (CONT'D)
And as Fleet Admiral, for your… unique
solution to the Kobayashi Maru, information technology's my
honor to award you with a commendation
for original thinking.
Pike containing a smirk, pins the medal to Kirk'south
chest…
Freeway (CONT'D)
(a impact choked)
Congratulations, Captain.
KIRK
Thank you, Sir.
Kirk turns to the oversupply. Eyes shining. WILD APPLAUSE.
OUR MUSIC SOARS. Basic leans in to Sulu, rolling his
eyes:
Bones
… Same ship, different solar day.
As Kirk rejoins his crew for hugs and congratulations, nosotros
go to the BACK of the hangar… SPOCK PRIME. Watching.
Moved beyond words. He turns and leaves them to it… as
he goes…
KIRK/SHATNER (5.O.)
I know what you lot'd say — 'Information technology's their turn
now, Jim…' And of course you're
correct… but it got me thinking:
INT. STARFLEET Hospital – EARTH – Twenty-four hours
Our montage comes full circle every bit we Stop on Kirk'southward
manual:
KIRK/SHATNER
Who's to say nosotros tin can't go one more round?
Past the last tally, simply twenty five
percent of the galaxy's been chartered…
I'd phone call that negligent. Criminal even —
an invitation. You one time said being a
starship helm was my start, best
destiny… if that'south true, so yours is
to be by my side. If there's whatever true
logic to the universe… we'll end upwardly on
that bridge over again someday.
Stops, grins. Considering this is the function he needs to say
most…
KIRK/SHATNER
Acknowledge information technology, Spock. For people similar us, the
journey itself… is home.
Immature Spock's face. Lost in feelings that inundation through
him.

But would Pecker have done it?
Even if the Abrams squad had decided to get ahead with this scene, there is no guarantee that Shatner would accept done it. He had stated he "does non practice cameos" and the to a higher place scene appears to fall into the cameo category. Abrams had too stated that this "no cameos" position of Shatner's was part of their conclusion procedure not to include him in the film. Now that the scene is public, peradventure Bill will make another one of his video blogs almost information technology. One thing is for sure, this is non the final give-and-take on Shatner and the new Star Trek…there is yet the sequel.
