William Shatner has said that he would like a part in the sequel to J.J. Abrams’s Star Trek reboot. Speaking to Howard Stern on his radio show last week, Shatner revealed that he wants to appear in the sci-fi follow-up. When asked if he was lobbying for a role in the film, he responded:

“I wouldn’t mind.”

The 78-year-old also said that he would have loved to star in the 2009 Star Trek film.

“I would have loved to have been part of this historic event. But how do you bring back to life this dead? I died, my character died”

Shatner went on to admit that Abrams has invited him to a private screening of Star Trek at the Paramount Theater in Los Angeles.

Paramount recently announced that its Star Trek sequel will hit theaters on June 29, 2012.
