From what I hear its only one scene. I'm sure they could cut one scene. And he shouldn't feel honored if he completely opposes the idea. And the fact they told him, he rejected it, and they still went with it is completely disrespectful. I'd be upset with the people involved too if I was in his place. So I refuse to support the film |
It's at least 2 scenes. You see him looking at his family photo (wich is the husband and child), i think in two occasions. Its the opposite of disrespectful and it fit the emotion they were trying to portray due to "spoilers watch the movie". They made a homage to him and he is beeing pissy about it. Gene probably wouldn't have minded at all. He had established characters back then, so it didnt make sense to retcon them. But this is a reboot. Different universe. They can do what they want with the character.
The character that Takei played is still there and it is what it is. The new one isn't his business.
