VIDEO : Patrick Stewart Had To Be Convinced To Play Picard Again In A New ?Star Trek? Series

Patrick Stewart is reprising his role as Jean-Luc Picard in a new CBS untitled Star Trek series.
Fans hope that unlike his last film 'Nemesis.' This one will actually be good.
That's why Stewart was hesitant to return to the franchise.
The new series' producer Alex Kurtzman had to take an extensive amount of time to convince him.
?We heard he was very reticent, for a million understandable reasons, to do it. We thought we failed. But on Monday his agent called and said, ?He?s interested and he?d like to know more and can you write down what you had.'" Alex Kurtzman, Film Producer
