WILLIAM SHATNER: YOU CAN CALL ME BILL - New Documentary about the man behind the legend.

Danbury, CT: The new William Shatner documentary is beaming into the Palace Danbury Theatre on Sunday, April 7, 2024.

The film offers an intimate portrait of William Shatner’s personal journey spanning nine decades on Earth. Known for his iconic portrayal of Captain James T. Kirk in Star Trek, Shatner is also celebrated for his roles as the lead in the television series T.J. Hooker and the hilariously memorable Denny Crane on Boston Legal. "You Can Call Me Bill" delves into his multifaceted career, stripping away the masks of countless characters to reveal the man behind the legend.


“This film was made possible by fans,” said William Shatner. "Fans of independent film, documentaries, and those whose support has shaped my career in this industry."


Directed by the visionary filmmaker Alexandre O. Philippe (known for "78/52: Hitchcock’s Shower Scene," "The People vs. George Lucas," and "Memory: The Origins of Alien"), “William Shatner: You Can Call Me Bill" intimately explores Shatner’s life, accomplishments, and contributions across film, television, and the arts.


The documentary provides a big-screen experience,

allowing audiences to celebrate Shatner’s legacy.

No need to go boldly where no man has gone before…

see it in Danbury on Sunday April 7!
