Friends, I'm thrilled to share this news with you today. As announced at Emerald City Comicon, where I'm appearing this weekend, Paramount Pictures has green-lit a new Star Trek Movie entitled "Excelsior" in which I will play the captain. This announcement is part of Paramount Studio's 100th-year anniversary campaign. The studio has acknowledged the fan enthusiasm for this concept ever since I appeared in command of the vessel in "The Undiscovered Country." J.J. Abrams will direct, with Robert Orci again writing the screenplay.

My co-star in Allegiance, Paulo Montalban, has been cast opposite me to play the mercurial "Agha," the grandson of Khan (played by Ricardo Montalban in the Second Star Trek Movie). Also featured are Gilbert Gottfried (playing a wily Ferengi First Officer) and Lisa Lampinelli (as a Bajoran security officer).

More to come on this breaking story soon. Thanks again for the years of support, and I'll see you on the Bridge of "Excelsior."
Make it so...

I'd buy it if it weren't April 1st.

There's no way this is real. Having Gilbert Gottfried play a Ferengi would be way too perfect.

Also, the Ferengi weren't encountered by the Federation until the 24th century.

Also the Bajorans must have not met the Federation before the occupation. Considering the day that the news occurred makes me doubt it immensely. Although [shudder]J.J. Abrams[/shudder] is supposed to be director so it is possible that he will continue to destroy established canon. Might even see Kirk go up against Q and the Borg.


The first step in being sane is to admit that you are insane.

Neeeeeerrrrds!!!


I think Excelsior was one of the ideas they were throwing around for a series after Voyager ended. And then they went with Enterprise


Goodbye, I guess.

I couldn't not read that in Takei's voice. Oh my...
