LEXINGTON, Kentucky – William Shatner, the iconic star of Star Trek, will attend the premiere of his new life documentary You Can Call Me Bill at the Kentucky Theater on Friday, October 4. At 93, Shatner is recognized not only for his acting career spanning seven decades but also as the oldest person to ever travel to space, following his recent excursion aboard Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin Space Shuttle.
The documentary is a significant milestone in Shatner’s career, serving as the first-ever in-depth look at his life and achievements. It chronicles his legendary roles, particularly as Captain James T. Kirk, and highlights his contributions to the realms of film and television.
The premiere event is generating excitement, with fans eagerly anticipating the opportunity to walk the red carpet alongside Shatner before the screening begins at 6:30 p.m.. All tickets for the event have already sold out, indicating high demand for the celebrity’s appearance and the film itself.
In a pre-premiere interview, Shatner expressed his intentions for the documentary, stating, “This is a love letter to my family. This is me trying to be absolutely without masks; we all wear masks and dropping that mask is very rare. Here in this film, I am attempting to drop my mask.” His candid remarks offer a glimpse into the deeply personal nature of the project.
Shatner has longstanding ties to Kentucky’s equine industry, having previously owned a horse farm in nearby Versailles. His connection to the state adds an extra layer of local interest to the event.
This premiere not only celebrates Shatner’s illustrious career but it also stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of a Hollywood titan who continues to captivate audiences around the globe.
