William Shatner is in talks to return to the world of Star Trek, despite attacking director J.J. Abrams for leaving him out of his 2009 blockbuster prequel.

The original Captain Kirk reveals he and Abrams met for lunch recently and he has since seen the movie he chose not to be a part of - after refusing the filmmaker's cameo offer.

Shatner says, "They did a wonderful movie. J.J., I think of him as a buddy, he's a great director and I'm sure when the right time comes he'll make the right decision [and cast me]."
