WHAT IS SHATNERPALOOZA?
The centerpiece of “SHATNERPALOOZA” will be the World Premiere of The Captains – an Epix Original Documentary produced and directed by William Shatner. In The Captains, he travels the world to connect with each of the actors who have played Captains over the long life of the Star Trek franchise. Shatner recalls his own experiences in the role that made him a star by interviewing Patrick Stewart, Kate Mulgrew, Scott Bakula, Avery Brooks and Chris Pine while interweaving clips from their respective shows and movies.
“SHATNERPALOOZA” launches simultaneously on all Epix platforms: Linear, VOD & epixhd.com and continues for several weeks.
It all kicks off with a 48 hour on-air marathon of Shatner’s work starting on Thursday, July 21st timed to coincide with the man himself making a personal appearance on behalf of Epix at this year’s Comic-Con in San Diego
