Shatner hoped to make new Trek projects, and wanted in on the JJRebootrams's first film, but none of that came to pass.
What the Hoff wants, and what Weinstein wants, are two very different things. If Harvey is involved, here's what you'll get:
Knight Rider blasphemey with a terrible song in the opening or end credits, barely anything recognizable by the loving fanbase; some bland, generic male lead who's just a box office draw; a provacatively dressed female lead shoehorned in because everybody is bastardizing the strong women thing Joss Whedon had brought back into the media, so there's always got to be some "sexy" female kicking butt; a big, boring score by somebody like Steve Jablonsky or Brian Tyler; and a director nobody and their grandma would want to direct it.
How will the Hoff be involved? Well, let me present this joke
Norm MacDonald told when he hosted "The Fake News" on
"Saturday Night Live":
The TV series, "The Love Boat", is being made into a big-screen feature by Newline Cinema. The producers have announced that thee entire original cast of: Gavin MacLeod, Bernie Kopell, Fred Grandy, Ted Lang, Lauren Tewes, and Jill Whelan will have to pay $7.50 to see the movie just like everyone else.
So, The Hoff will be paying $9.50 or $12.50 -- whatever the price is in his area -- to see the movie like everybody else. Total sum of his involvement.
And when things appeared to get better, they got worse, and everyday was a day to cry.
