This might come as a surprise, but William Shatner claims that he’s never seen the new Star Trek trailer. So Access Hollywood took the opportunity to show it to Shatner and capture the original James T. Kirk’s reaction to it.

There’s a split-screen view of his first reactions to the trailer, as well as behind-the-scenes interview footage captured by Shatner’s Shatner Vision cameras.

Shatner also talks about a book he co-wrote in 2007, Star Trek: The Academy — Collision Course, which, similar to the upcoming Trek film, focuses separately on the younger, pre-Federation days of Kirk and Spock and how they came to be at Starfleet Academy.
