William Shatner<\/strong> spoke about playing Kirk again, even though the actor is eighty-six years old.<\/p>\n

Kirk could theoretically appear in the next Trek movie, said Shatner, courtesy of virtual reality.<\/p>\n

“I recently connected with a virtual reality company Ziva<\/em> and they have virtual-realized me in two hundred-and-forty cameras all around shooting me,” he said. “So they can now produce my body and my face in any way, shape, or form – including what I was like fifty years ago.”<\/p>\n

Shatner would enjoy working with Quentin Tarantino<\/strong> in the next Trek movie. “Lord yes,” he said. “What an interesting role that was and what it could be fifty years later: Captain Kirk is caught somewhere in the byways of the universe.<\/p>\n

“Tarantino is a great director and I would love to work with him. [To appear] would be a wonderful thing. The fans have been so supportive.”<\/p>\n

The actor has no plans to retire from acting, saying “What am I going to retire from and to? Look, we are having a good time here and we give money to charities. Would I retire from that and sit at home and watch television?<\/p>\n

“No, I will die first – and that is probably what will happen.”<\/p>\n
