Kevin Smith on Trekking Stars

Recently, a cult director who may or may not be named Kevin Smith may or may not have seen a particular film. This film, though it hasn’t been talked about as much as some, is an adaptation of a very very popular television show from many years ago, that has had many spinoffs, and takes place in outer space.

I think you know what I’m talking about.

Here is a transcript of a discussion that Smith (allegedly) had on the (alleged) Kevin and Bean morning show.

Smith: I saw a movie last night that I cannot talk about.

Host: Was it good?

Smith: It was phenomenal.

Host: Any stars, any break out stars, and do they trek?

Smith: The stars absolutely trek in this film. It is fantastic. Anybody who was worried doesn’t need to be worried–about this film I cannot talk about…It was in very capable hands. The director did a phenomenal job–the director and his crew. Top notch cast and the guy that plays the lead is an instant star. That dude is going to be so famous. He is so wonderful. He picked up a role that I would say is pretty challenging for someone to step into the shoes of, because it is a role that has been played before many times by the same guy.

Host: How do you out Shatner, Shatner?

Smith: I don’t what you are talking about.

Host: I was just saying that as an expression.

Smith: Yes, absolutely, in a world of expressions, I would agree with that.

Well, see, I just don’t know. Other sites have come up with some wild explanations for what film he could possibly he talking about, including the aforementioned…spacey one. Well, that’s just fine, but shouldn’t we consider what he is actually saying? A role that has been played many times by the same guy….James Bond? Of course, Sean Connery has been replaced several times over, but…

Now, Shatner. Could he be referring to Mordechai Shatner, the Zionist activist? perhaps this is a movie about Israel. At this juncture, there is no way to be sure.

In any case, let’s hope that Smith is soon able to come forward with an explanation about what film he is so slyly referring to. Though he’s not one of my favorite directors, he seems like a very nice fellow and I’m inclined to trust his taste.

Please, Kevin Smith, solve this mystery for us!
