KIRK ON FILM • Who better to lead off our multiple Star Trek movie anniversary celebrations than the man who not only starred in four of those anniversary films, but directed one? In an exclusive one-on-one interview – his first with Star Trek Magazine in three years – William Shatner reflects on not just Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, and Star Trek Generations, but every one of the original cast movies.
