Two Comic-Con giant collide as William Shatner sits down with noted “Star Trek” fan Kevin Smith to discuss his life and career in front of legions of fans. The 91-year-old Canadian icon decades-long career will be explored in a new, as-of-yet untitled documentary with footage expected to be shown to fans at Comic-Con.

“For years I’ve had people approaching me to do a documentary about my life, but I turned them all down because it didn’t feel like the right fit,” Shatner said in a statement. “When I heard how Legion M wanted to incorporate audiences to be a part of it, it was perfect. Fans have been responsible for my career — it only seems right that they should own this doc.”
