Talking About 'Star Trek': Will Star Trek have any new movies coming out with the original cast and not the new actors?
Will Star Trek have any new movies coming out with the original cast and not the new actors? Let me get this straight. You’re asking if Paramount will release new films starring the cast from the Original Series and the first six feature films instead of the cast from the Kelvin Timeline movies? The answer to that is a definitive “No.” DeForest “Dee” Kelley, who played Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy, MD, died in 1999. James Doohan, who played Chief Engineer Montgomery “Scotty” Scott, died in 2005. Leonard Nimoy, who played Spock, died in 2015 Grace Lee Whitney, who played Yeoman (later Commander) Janice Rand, also died in 2015 The rest of the cast, including William Shatner, has an average age of 80+. With three of the Enterprise “Big Four ” cast members dead and quite a few of the supporting cast members are either dead or no longer active in the acting business, making a new feature film with the Original Series cast is next to impossible....
