San Diego, Computer Center Lines: 32 Quo usque tandem abutere patientia nostra? Apparently there are some seeds of truth in the posting attributed to Nimoy. Last weekend there was a gathering of the William Shatner Fan Club at which the attendees got to see and listen to and question Bill. Although I did not go, I talked to someone who did. She says that it is true that Bill has not signed and that Paramount is threatening to shelve the project. Bill says that they are dickering over details of the contract, which naturally he did not spell out. Nimoy is involved in some aspect of the negotiations. Paramount is making threats. Bill says, "Hey, don't worry about it. No way is Paramount not going to make this movie. They've already hired people." So, it is unfair to say that Bill is unwilling to make another Star Trek movie. He has always been enthusiastic about ST. (Nimoy has waffled.) He is waiting out contract problems. He has stated in another recent interview that he would not make an ST movie without Nimoy in it. So, encourage Paramount to pay them the price. They can't do a Alley/Curtis switch with Bill and Leonard. Alice Greene [..sdcc11!me141]
