Video posts don’t typically do super well on Lemmy but this one deserves attention. Just watch it. You’ll understand why.
Sidenote but the body double of Kirk is the same guy who is the voice over artist for Maul and Palpatine in the animated Star Wars stuff. Sam Witwer. Also known as Starkiller. You can really recognize him in a couple of the facial expressions during this video.
It is Shatner. He’s credited as Kirk, along with the body double. He definitely has tons of cgi make up on, but it’s him.
I think he’s credited as Kirk because of the VO.
Edit: I was essentially correct- https://home.otoy.com/unification/
Good find!
Yeah it looks like the body double did the actual acting. There’s set pictures with him, and im not seeing any with Shatner.
Still, pretty damn cool imo
