William Shatner to star in new CBS pilot

CBS has commissioned a pilot starring William Shatner as an angry old man, according to reports.

The veteran Star Trek actor plays a real man, who has become well-known for his son Justin Halpern's Twitter account , which is called 'S**t My Dad Says'.

Currently untitled, the planned sitcom adaptation will be penned by Halpern and his long-time writing partner Patrick Schumacker.

Followers of the online account have already surpassed a million, and a book on the same subject is forthcoming.

"Even though he already was like, [censored] do it!" Halpern said. "He just doesn't want to have to support me when I'm older," Halpern told the Los Angeles Times.

Max Mutchnik and David Kohan (Will & Grace) are producing the show, which will also focus on unemployment.
