- Synopsis
- Feature film. Two aspiring film-makers run into William Shatner (playing himself) in a Hollywood bookstore. The film-makers have been Star Trek fans for many years and believe their dreams are now realised. They soon discover, however, that Shatner is befriending the pair only because he thinks they can help secure backing for his latest film-project - a 5-hour musical version of Julius Caesar in which he will play all the roles. The film concludes with William Shatner performing a rap version of Mark Antony’s speech ‘Friends , Romans and countrymen’ entitled ‘No Tears for Caesar’.
