William Shatner Leads Star Trek 60th Anniversary Documentary Amid Takei Feud

William Shatner is executive‑producing and front‑lining the Star Trek 60th anniversary documentary titled "The Sixty‑Year Mission," which will open in Regal theaters across the United States on October 9. The film, directed by writer‑director Mark A. Altman, features interviews with original series cast members including Walter Koenig, George Takei, and other franchise talent, offering never‑before‑seen archival material and behind‑the‑scenes stories.

At the same time, Shatner’s decades‑long feud with co‑star George Takei has resurfaced in reports about a possible reunion. Sources say Shatner remains open to reprising Captain Kirk, but Takei’s involvement would require the two to resolve their dispute. One insider noted, “By all accounts, it’s really Bill standing in the way of this happening because he’s the one who has refused to make peace over and over,” while Shatner himself said, “I still have the aggression and the instinct for battle.” The feud, dating back to the 1960s, is seen as a potential obstacle to any future Star Trek collaboration.
