Zachary Quinto Wants Leonard Nimoy In Star Trek Sequel April 5, 2010
by TrekMovie.com Staff , Filed under: Celebrity, Nimoy, ST09 Cast, Star Trek sequel (2012) , trackback
Much has been reported about the special mentoring relationship between the the Spocks of the 2009 Star Trek movie, Zachary Quinto and Leonard Nimoy. So far it looks like Leonard Nimoy is serious about handing things off to Quinto for the sequel, and going (back) into retirement. But a new comment from Quinto suggests the young actor may not be ready to let go.
Zach wants more Leonard
The New York Daily News caught up with Zachary Quinto at a film premiere in New York last week, and they got the actor to talk some Trek:
The newest "Spock" told us that it took a personal plea from J.J. Abrams to get Nimoy out of retirement the first time – and Quinto admits that he thinks it would take a lot more for a repeat.
"I think I might have to ask him this time," the actor joked…
But the "Heroes" bad boy promises that he’ll be on board when the next film happens.
"Every time J.J. calls I pick up in a heartbeat," he laughed. "I assure you that. And when it’s to tell me to come to work I’ll be there."

What do you think?
Is one Spock enough for the Star Trek sequel?

Two Spocks for sequel too?

Sorry but no more original Spock. There’s only so many times you can say goodbye and then it just gets worn out.
I think Prime Spock would be a good addition to a sequel. Maybe he starts the temporal investigations unit? I’m still wishing Shatner was included or any original series cast member for that matter.
Does he really want two Spocks roaming around?
The Preserver obelisk! I want to see Kirk discover the first Preserver Obelisk. The one thing for sure we DON’T need in any movies for the near future is time travel. So that would include saying NO to a movie starring the Guardian of Forever. We don’t need sillyness, and we don’t need spoofs, as I’m sure J.J. and the screenwriters will steer clear from (not to say we don’t need Scotty’s humor). I, for one, am also down with Uhura getting her kick-ass on, perhaps spurred by an always fabulous, “Oh, no he didn’t!”
Nimoy should have had the sense to stay out of the first Fake Trek.
I always pictured this scene with Khan and Spock Prime. Khan tortures him trying to find out what went wrong the first time around and Spock saying “I died the first time because of you, it is only fitting that my second death would be at your hands”
We already know that both spock’s are in that new time line so it would be kind of dumb to just ignore or forget about spock prime.
Stanky
where the hell have you been?? This is the first post I’ve seen from you in ages!!
So, what did you think of the movie? :>)
(as if I have to ask)
I think a small cameo where Spock Prime sends himself a message just saying “Hi”. Something small, just letting us know that the new Vulcan colony he’s at is doing well.
re: 8 HB
It met all of my expectations.
No, they need to move on. I love Nimoy but like Will_H stated, too many times would be too many. They need to have a sense of moving on. It’s not a cameo trip down memory lane.
Also, the title of this article is misleading. Quinto was joking. When I read the title, I was like, “Seriously? You want him back?”, but when I read the article, it’s apparent he was joking and wasn’t making a serious plea for Nimoy to come back. You need to change it to “Zachary Quinto gests about having Nimoy in Star Trek Sequel”. He wasn’t serious.
@1: I agree. Nimoy passed the torch superbly, but Quinto’s performance can stand on its own. Perhaps just a passing mention or something about the New Vulcan colony at the most.
But it is nice to know they worked so well together.
Small cameos by Leonard Nimoy and/or William Shatner can’t hurt, but anything more would detract from the new cast. The new cast have to take the lead.
But it is going to be hard not seeing Leonard Nimoy as Spock anymore.
I think Zachary Quinto is the perfect new Spock, but no one can replace the original.
Have a Spock on Spock mind-meld where Spock Prime puts his katra into Spock.
If there is a good story to tie up loose ends from the destruction of Vulcan, why not include him? Otherwise, it will just end up being something that never gets resolved or ends up being some piece of dialogue referencing events that happen off screen.
I’d like to know what happens to Spock Prime.
Just saw parts of ST: TMP on a “HD Theater” channel. Although I’m waiting it out a potential Blu-ray Directors Cut of the film, it just wetted my appetite! Boy, the old film never looked better! I sure wish someone with influence at Paramount would express the desire for a Blu-ray release of “The Directors Cut” of that film. It would be so cool if they were able to give it the royal treatment, ala “Blade Runner”.
Stanky!
You’re still alive…, my old friend!
the title of this is a little sensational. i mean that in a negative, bad journalism sorta way. From what i can tell, ZQ never expresses that he “wants Nimoy in the sequel” It’s a headline just for the sake of grabbing your attention…which is fine…if its true. In this case it grabs your attention at the expense of honesty.
I know, i know…i’m nitpicking
MIND MELD
Spock Prime should have died GLORIOUSLY in Battle……defending himself AND the New Crew of the Starship Enterprise…. THUS, personifying: “Logic clearly dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. … Or the one.”
OK OK have mercy on me!!
Kirk: I would not presume to debate you.
There’s no real reason he can’t show up. Spock Prime himself said they could not afford to ignore each other.
There’s no need to worry about the cast ‘being on its own’. Spock Prime is part of this universe. He’s a character in his own right, with his own intimate connections to a few of of the ‘new universe’ characters.
Its not necessary to have, but there’s no reason to bar it, either.
Honestly though, the nerd in me would rather check up on T’Pol or an aging Archer. I don’t think it would be horrible to pick up on some strings from ENTERPRISE or the ORIGINAL SERIES or even proto-TNG in order to flesh out the universe and give it some scale and continuity. Even the original cast movies featured cameos from TOS supporting characters and by the end of film six was nodding to TNG.
I think it needs to have Nimoy making at least a cameo. Something small just to let us know he is well and working; like have him give an update on the Vulcan colony’s progress.

I think there’s been quite enough main characters killed off, thank you very much!
Tasha Yar’s “first” death was weak. James T. Kirk’s death in “Generations” was lousy, Jazia’s worked because it fit the story and she ends up becoming a part of Ezri through the Dax symbiont. And Trip’s death in “These Are The Voyages…” was the worst of the bunch. There was no need for that. Data’s death made sense, but he was resurrected in the body of B4 anyway.
At least there is still time for someone to find a logical way to bring Shatner’s Kirk back from the grave.

Aw, c’mon, Stanky…..throw us a bone. Wasn’t there any aspect of the latest film that you enjoyed?
I thought they did a great job in recapturing the FUN of the original series.
Please poke through that facade of cynicism and maybe mention one little thing that you might have enjoyed regarding this latest outing.
Why does ZQ look like some kind of scared homeless person in these photos?
Someone should hand him a hundred bucks and point him towards a GAP or something.
Stanky,
I enjoyed this movie. And I trust Leonard Nimoy’s judgement more than your’s. You hate this movie. That’s too bad. I don’t think very many people share your opinion.
#25
“Why does ZQ look like some kind of scared homeless person in these photos?”
Because Spock just witnessed the destruction of his home planet. :-)
27: Oh come on, ryanhuyton. You know you must be destroyed for such comments.
Spock is at his second home in Manhattan, and obviously has yet to find a decent haberdasher. (Sarek used to keep his ‘Vulcan Princess’ there)
Spock’s got the “ears got caught in an automatic rice-picker” thing going, and it’s just so 1966. Time for a change, I should think.
Bob Orci,includes spock prime in the next Movies please:)
¡Mas te vale que lo incluyas cabron!, Saludos.
Maybe this film could veer off into the “mirror universe” so that we could have 4 Spocks!!!
If Leonard Nimoy is reprising his role as the prime relaity, post-Nemesis Ambassador Spock in ‘Star Trek XII’, may I suggest a scene where Starfleet created a new timeship that allows Spock to fly it and travel back to the year 2387 in the prime reality. The following link may show you the reason why: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZB2QrqLHCQ
Why does Zach Quinto a.k.a. ‘Spock 2.0′ always look as if he’s been caught right in the act?
William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy for the next Star Trek!!!
I think it would be cool if in the next film in a message to his son Sarek mentioned he and “uncle Selek” were having success with their new colony should the next film not be completely focused on the Vulcan exodus.
I think Nimoy has given a link from old to new, and given enough of a send off for the character. He’s off re-building the Vulcan race while Quinto’s Spock can go play and have fun.
The connections made, too much of it could get boring and thats not the best way for Nimoy to leave.
#33 yes I agree. IF they want to bring Leonard back then they really can’t snub Bill. The first film they got away with it. The next time they won’t.
Better they let the new kids take over completely at this point I feel. No cameos from any past Trek actors. Spend that money on a big name to bolster the movie. Just imo.
“#25: Why does ZQ look like some kind of scared homeless person in these photos?
Someone should hand him a hundred bucks and point him towards a GAP or something.”
The Gap? You obviously don’t understand hipster styles. No self respecting hipster would be caught dead in clothes from the Gap. Or any chain store brand clothing. ZQ is dressed perfectly for this generation of young people who listen only to indie bands nobody has ever heard of.
I mean, he’s at a premier of a film being show at the IFC Center. As in Independent Film Channel. The first cousin of indie music is indie film. His clothing is perfectly appropriate.
Apart from talks about Leonard Nimoy appearing in the sequel (of course it’s a pleasure to have him in any Star Trek movie!), I think the more interesting thing is: what would it be like to have two Spock’s in the same universe? The possibilities that such a conundrum would set off could make an entire series of stories, if one wanted to go in that direction. And I don’t think it would just be a matter of Spock Prime having knowledge of the “fututre,” since, in this predicament, not all of his knowledge would apply to the new “future.” Just the mere event of looking at another version of oneself is a pretty wild story in itself…
By the way, I think it was too early for spock to address kirk as jim. that seemed kinda forced. Spock prime is actually doing the future a favor by not ruining all of their future adventures, Some events will still happen, and some will not.
I also don’t believe that shatner and paramount will ever settle their differences and that shatner will still be too expensive for any part in any future star trek film.
Didn’t Spock Prime Nimoy’s already passed the torch over to Zachary Quinto why would he be joking Zachary?
I think the new cast should do things on their own not rely on past Trek actors to help the new Kirk and Spock need to handle things now don’t you agree
It’s not a deal breaker if Nimoy is not in the sequel.
Having said that, his actually being in the sequel can not, in any way, shape or form, hurt the film. It will be a great movie, these guys have already proved they know what they are doing. Nimoy’s invlolvement would only be icing on an already delicous cake. And the same goes for Shatner.
1 – agreed. Time to get this party started, for real. If this is a NEW franchise, it has to move on its own power.
The new Star Trek doesn’t “need” members of the original cast. The new cast is awesome. The desire to see original members is more nostalgic yearnings than anything else, IMO. Yes, Nimoy was necessary to pull off the first film, but that doesn’t mean his presence (or any of the other members) is necessary to pull off any more films — unless they are, somehow, integral to the story.
The new cast and the new universe are entirely capable of standing on their own. The original cast will live on forever in any case, thanks to dvd and our own memories…
I love TOS, probably better than any incarnation (though TNG is a close second). However, it is time to let it go. A last bow, no really my last, last bow, okay this is my last, last, last bow begins to cheapen the whole thing. Kirk should stay dead. Spock should have passed (past tense) the torch which he did. Now let nuTrek sink or swim on its own merits with something that hopefully is original, creative, thought-provoking, exciting, and worthy of Trek (anything but a villain du jour or big bad alien of the moment–both done too death). No one loves Nimoy better than I, but after awhile it gets absurd (seeing him in other projects until he REALLY retires is cool though). I thought the moment with McCoy on STNG was a good template (’specially since McCoy as played by Kelley is my all time favorite; though Urban is a worthy successor). I would have loved to see McCoy show up again and again on TNG since he was my favorite character, but the best bet is to pass the torch and move on.
I’m keeping my fingers and toes crossed for a teeny tiny cameo, something like a picture, news report or a letter, maybe simply just a mention how it goes for the old Spock and the Vulcans. That would be a nice nod to us the old fans, but not necessarily noticeable or recognizable if you haven’t seen the first movie. I agree that the torch is passed, and the new crew has to go on their own adventures.
I’m not the target audience for the New Trek (strange, as I’m a lifelong TOS fan) but I have to say I don’t have much interest in the sequel unless either or both Shatner and Nimoy are in it. I still think they missed a huge opportunity for Shatner in the first.
I think the new kids are cute and do a good job, but they really don’t interest me much. And I’m not really invested in an AU without a (planet) Vulcan or one in which Spock and Uhura are a couple. I have to say unless there’s a real connection with the Trek I love, I’ll probably give the sequel a pass. I don’t expect this opinion to give anyone working on it sleepless nights. :D
Wow – what the heck is Zachary wearing. Those shoes! His Spock card may get revoked on that outfit alone.
@21
Based on alternate futures from Enterprise, if T’Pol is likely caring for an aging Archer… and wouldn’t have been on Vulcan during its destruction.
It would be easy to put Spock Prime in the movie… He is just a few light years away starting the new Vulcan colony… Leonard Nimoy is going to be harder to convince to play any role JJ offers.
The first film was so respectful of what came before and Nimoy’s involvement just added to the respect that everyone had making that movie.
For the sequel however it’s time for these new actors to stand on their own and just go for it big time and begin to create their own version of these characters and for them to build on the success that the first film had with a wider audience.
As much as I love the original cast…and the casts that followed…it is time to let them go.
Shatner, NImoy and the rest have all given us so many years of entertainment. I say let them enjoy their retirement.
No more Spock prime. Just reports thatare discussed from time-to-time on how the re-colonizing efforts are going, perhaps considering a visit some time…& leave it at that.
If Spock Prime is brought back, it’ll be like an uber-extended end to Return of the King. Half a dozen times we think it’s over before we finally have the end credits roll!!
You know, in every picture I’ve seen of Zachary quinto he looks like he wasn’t expecting the picture. Like, his eyes are wide and he looks slightly disoriented……..I think I have a cat that makes the same expression when you snap a bright camera flash at her.
I wouldn’t mind at all in Leonard Nimoy is in the next movie. I just might get confusing, strange, or too dumb to have two Spocks, both doing Spock-like things and making Spock-like comments. Just sayin’.
BUT of course, they might find a really good pupose for Leonard Nimoy, that will make “Prime Spock’s” existance worthwhile, who knows?
Time for spock Prime and Kirk Prime thats all get on it bork!
Nimoy can do what Nimoy wants to do
I think they need Nimoy. After all they can’t just have a man who knows all of history just wandering around the galaxy doing nothing.
Young Spock should at least speak to him through a message in the beginning to see how things are going on the Vulcan relocation planet.
Yes. Get Mr Nomoy in the next trek Movie and have him say a proper goodbye and I would also love to see a scene with Spock Prine and his Father. That will be very Emotional.
I meant mr Nimoy. I can’t type today.
I would be satisfied with Spock watching a video with a to-do list from Spock Prime:
1. Use (Khan’s) DY100-class ship for target practice, no questions asked
2. Use Nomad for target practice, no questions asked
3. Use one derelict ship (See #1?) loaded with anti-matter to blowup the giant space amoeba (”The Immunity Syndrome”) and another to blow up the planet wrecker (”Doomsday Machine”)
4. Blast Deneva with ultrviolet light before approaching (”Operation: Annihilate”)
5. Put an APB out on Anton Coridian, Harry Mudd and Cyrano Jones
6. Fix Sarek’s heart (”Journey to Babel”)
7. Keep an eye out for the Fabrini ship that looks like an asteroid; copy their medical files so McCoy can survive xeno polycythemia
8. Beware the Platonians
9. Do not anger the Tholians nor the Melkots
10. Do NOT strike up a relationship with Pardek
etc.
#60. YES! Puh-leeze! That clip in the outtakes of Sarek wondering about this older Vulcan walking by just doesn’t cut it.
I’d like to see a cameo, myself, just a message from Spock Prime to younger Spock saying that he found a way home and wishing his younger counterpart well. :) (If anybody could do that, Spock Prime would be it!)
Aside from that, maybe it’s just best to let these alternate versions of the familiar characters go their own way.
I think Nimoy said a proper farewell in the movie, and I think it would be cheapened if he came out to do one more.
Ya, unless the movie is about Spock Prime at the core of the mystery (kind of like the plot description of the unjustly cancelled/delayed “The Hazards of Concealing”) I think it’s better to have Spock go gently into founding the Vulcan colony.
To Bob Orci
Have Two Spocks in the sequel. Spock Prime can be helping with a Vulcan Colony OR you could send him home via the Guardian of Forever (which would be the same Guardian that’s in TOS) That would sooooo cool.
Couldn’t they at least pay Zach for his performances? I mean, the guy looks like he just fell off a southbound freight. Please, fellow trekkies, I encourage you to give this poor man a buck or a balogna sandwich if you see him on the street. We need to support our trek actors.
Also NO Shatner (he just does not fit logically.)
No more cameos from the original cast. If Shatner were in the film it wouldn’t make sense. Let these new guys handle it. It’s theres now. We still have the originals but the new Trek belongs to them. As much as I wish Shatner could be in it and how much I wish Nimoy would come back, their time is up. They gave us 43 years of greatness, so let the new cast do it. No more time travel though, no more Romulans. Klingons for the next film. Bring in a little silly, the original series was a little silly, so make the new show a little silly. OH and one more thing. Put this Star Trek on the small screen.
No. Just no. Let Nimoy enjoy his retirement already. Prime Spock has had one fake sendoff so far, we really don’t need another. A voice-only cameo (e.g. a message for Alt Spock) might be okay, but nothing more than that.
Besides, it’s Shatner’s turn now anyway… :)
I love Leonard and his work (well… everything except that “Bilbo Baggins” song *shudders*), and I was gutted to learn that he’s retiring from acting AND conventions (before I ever get to meet him, more importantly)… but I think he’s making the right choice, and “Star Trek XII” does NOT need him around. “Spock Prime” (hate that term) has served his purpose, and now it’s time for Zach to step up and be Spock by himself. If a character has no place in a story, they just drag the whole project down, and the last thing we as fans want is a return to falling movie standards in the Trek franchise. Besides, what would Leonard’s Spock contribute? “In my timeline, we solved this problem like so.” [Shows them] “That’s a good idea.” [Use idea; universe saved] End of movie. Yeah… no thanks.
Wow… The writer of the article is totally reading into things and taking a giant leap saying that Quinto wants Nimoy in the sequel. I’m sure Quinto does, as do many of us, but only if it makes for a better movie.
Perhaps a small appearance by Nimoy, as he was in the last film and still has a part to play in that continuity.
I’ve noticed Shatner’s name a few times in this post. Please don’t include him in the new movie. I love his work as Kirk, but it just isn’t necessary at all at this point. It would be a gimmick. “How many original Trek cast members can we fit into each new film?”
No thanks, let’s move forward now.
Hey Anthony don’t know how to get trek info to you or about Actors who are in Current Trek but this is kinda Interesting got it off TrekToday http://www.trektoday.com/content/2010/04/yelchin-to-be-a-smurf/#more-8768
No more Spock Prime. He’ll just end up getting killed in some lame ass way.
Let him go.
The torch has been passed. I’m sure Nimoy would just like to enjoy his retirement.
Bill Peters
Did you look down the front page? That was reported yesterday. It is about 5 articles down.
let the new cast do the journey now in the sequel if they bring in Shatner or any other let it be a cameo
The torch has been passed onto the new cast let them handle things and not rely on Shatner or Nimoy to help them but if they want a small cameo then do it but don’t shrove Nimoy or Shatner in it has to be important to the plot or story.
What would Shatner be doing if he was in the sequel?
It might be best if Spock prime died in a colonizing accident or a casualty of an attack on new Vulcan. The guy knows too much.
I had this idea that maybe Spock Prime should be dieing (or the writers find another reason for this) and he gives his Katra to new Spock, (like the rejoining ceremony from Search for Spock). That way new Spock is basically old Spock plus some differences, and the storyline continues to be relevant to the character from the original series instead of just some “alternate version” of him. (The “alternate reality” thing is a fun sci-fi point, but doesn’t really feel like we’re as invested in these characters as the original versions).
It would also address that Spock Prime is a vast source of knowledge in this timeline. He knows about future technologies and future events (which will now turn out somewhat differently, but may still be insightful). Spock’s knowledge about Khan floating around in space asleep somewhere, or the Probe searching for the extinct humpback whales would be critical to the new Enterprise crew, and discarding it because we want to focus on the new characters just doesn’t sit right with me. If you combine them you get the best of both worlds, and Nimoy doesn’t have to keep putting on the ears for the next 5 movies or however long it goes, just one more time.
(I notice some users have already suggested mind-melds or killing Spock Prime anyway. And here I thought I was being original.)
How bout he lives…and we never see him again.
I like that idea best!
Anything else would be lame. I’m not interested in seeing Spock Prime die again — under any circumstances. Like TWOK, it’s been DONE and done far better than anyone making movies today could do it.
Let SP go and…Mr. Nimoy…enjoy your retirement!
i adore leonard! let him be. ride into the sunset.
As much as i love Mr Nimoy, its not a good idea and i dont think he will do it anyway. Im a MASSIVE TOS fan but its not the way to move forward.
Greg UK
I hope Zachary Quinto will ask Leonad Nimoy to be in the next movie (at least a small cameo). I mean if he doesn’t want to do it, he doesn’t want to and Quinto did a GREAT job in the role as Spock, however Nimoy just has a certain charm that can’t be recreated. Besides, his absence kind of leaves the ends untied, sort of a cliff-hanger. That’d be a door never shut — what happened after Spock took off with the remaining Vulcans, etc…. I hope Nimoy will do this just one more time to tie up the loose ends. We all love and respect this man and I know we’ll all understand if he doesn’t want to do this, but there would be enormous value in his agreeing to take part.
They can pick up what happened to Spock Prime in novels and comics — I don’t want to see him on movies or TV again.
Also: Here’s my occasionally repeated request: I think it would be great, if Bill Murray is offered a spot in the next movie. Okay, that’s probably the last time I’ll mention that for the month (Not meant to trump Leonard Nimoy by any means, by the way).
87: You don’t want to see him in movies, or tv? Do you dislike the guy?
Anthony, didn’t have much of a chance to get on to this page over the last week! sorry I didn’t Know. One cool site you have here!
#87: “They can pick up what happened to Spock Prime in novels and comics[...]”
Exactly so. And in novels, in particular, they can do his story (and for that matter, Alt-Vulcan’s story) much greater justice than there’d ever be time for in a rock-’em-sock-’em action movie of the sort Abrams and Co specialize in.
Bring him back only if it’s with the Shat somehow.
The more I think about it.
NO cameo, please. If he has a cameo, people will just want a movie after that where he gets a “proper send off”. Of course that one won’t be good enough, so we’ll then be asking for another “proper send off”.
We should just be at peace knowing he’s alive and well in this new continuity.
I very , very much want to see Spock Prime and what he’s up to in this new universe.
My $.02.
Exactly, #94 — it would never end until Nimoy dies a natural death. And then, I think there would be people lobbying to have Nimoy cloned so he could continue doing Trek.
It’s over for Spock Prime in movies or TV…for me.
Leonard Nimoy back for Trek 12 only to reassure fans he is still alive and Spock Prime is doing well at the new colony, in a video message, yeah, I want to see that! Please have Kirk Prime, Guardian of Forever or Khan, and Klingons in it too! That would be sooooooo cool! :D “The Dark Knight” of Trek films!
Nimoy has said it himself – he doesn’t do cameos.
I want Kirk Prime as well but what could he be doing I wonder
but didn’t Kirk Prime die in Generations sorry but how will they bring him back from being supposedly dead just wondering
They don’t need him, however nice it would be to have him. Really. His presence is not necessary, though a lot of us would probably like JJ and crew a little more if he was there. Because if he was in it, he’d have to have a good sized role. A cameo just would not work. At all. I figure if he wants to do it he’ll do it, and if he doesn’t he won’t, and either way he’s still totally awesome.
And Shatner as well ,please,please,please……just one last time together no matter how small the roles are in this alternative timeline.
Could someone please explain to me how Leonard Nimoy being in a Star Trek movie ever be a bad thing?
Nimoy’s presence in the first film gave ST 09 a tremendous amount of legitimacy. Without him it would have just been another prequel/sequel. with a bunch of pretty/young people. With him it was truly a Star Trek film.
Isn’t returning Spock Prime to his original time line a good idea for a film.? Or at the very least an interesting sub plot. Why strand Spock Prime in the alt universe? The character deserves better than that.
Point being Spock Prime is a major player in the alt universe now. Why not use the man who made ST into what it has become?
I am all for having Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner having one last go as Kirk and Spock in the next film. The sequel doesn’t need them, but it would be much better with them… Need proof? watch Star Trek 09.
Beings as the lastest tech CAN edit, change, alter prior recorded voice….why not have a Dr. McCoy classic DeForest be an emergency medical hologram program..ahahahaahhahaahahhahahahahaha.
Every time a red shirt bites it on a planet..haul their butt back to sickbay and have the biobed scan them, and a brief projection of orig. McCoy saying he’s dead jim!
All that money and he dresses like a homeless person….
Who cares how he dresses? If he likes it, let him wear it. Doesn’t mean WE have to like it.
Shatner must be in the next film he has to be
#1 How interesting. I never said goodbye to Nimoy’s Spock in Trek 11. In fact it had been decades since I’d seen him in the role. I believe I said “hello!”
just a small part for Prime Kirk in the sequel if they can squeeze him in some way
doesn’t Shatner want to be in the sequel
Why not have Nimoy in the films??? It is not like he said at the end of the film. “You will not see me again, Spock.” So there is plenty to go with by having him in the films, as long as he wants to be in the films.
id like to see Nimoy in there but id rather have HARRISON FORD as Commodore Decker or some starfleet admiral…
with the news thats he’ll be appearing in Cowboys and Aliens (written by Bob Orci and Alex Kurtzman) im hoping they’ll be able to get him in Trek 2
hey itd increase the Overseas BO having Ford there
Nimoy please. But if Nimoy is there Shatner has to be there as well. Please make it canon that Jim didn’t die with a French guy there to bury him like Gary Mitchell…I hate that he had to die there with Picard, somebody he only knew for a few hours and not with Spock or Scotty or anybody else. There should be a copy in the Nexus that makes it out in the nu!Trek timeline and Spock and Kirk can have their happy ending to their epic friendship and then it will feel like a true ending to their story.
That doesn’t even have to happen. I just want Nimoy and Shatner on screen one more time together. One scene would be great.
What could it hurt? If Spock prime is starting a new Vulcan, they’re going to run into each other anyway. And what’s wrong with time travel? The best episodes all included time travel. This new parallel universe creates unlimited possibilities. Wouldn’t it be cool if the ran into Jean Luke? The episodes with Whoopi Goldberg and the Nexus thing was also a possibility. Very cool.
I want more info. Where it says, the Young Spock may not be ready to let go- let go of what?
Since this re-envisioned Star Trek began with an alteration of the time line, cause by Spock from the future, it would continue to make sense to include Nimoy as a pivotal role in the developement of the on going storyline, as well as Shatner, if he’s willing…The Nexus has no dimesion of time or space, only being…Did Kirk escape by choosing to be in two places at once when he went to help Picard?..just some thoughts
I don’t think they did a good job in giving you a choice. I would like to see Leonard in the new movie. But Leonard is not the type to appear just to be appearing. The role has got to be pivotal, like the last time he appeared. It’s got to be worth his time. I believe that if Leonard is given a script that does something for him, he will make an effort to appear.
I think this is a great opportunity for Spock to finally lose his mind. His mind Being torn in two universes. He has memories of two different lives….being in two different places. How does Spock co-exist with all these memories? What is real? what is not? I think there could be a real plot line there that no one would see coming
It is essential that Spock Prime be in the sequel if for no other reason than the plot, and the adherence to it. Time travel is the plot du jour these days for sci-fi, and since the alternate universe is now the new Trek universe, Spock Prime is the linchpin to it all. I’m hoping the creators can take the time paradox to a whole new revelation that will be mindblowing, something new.
