Trekmovie covers most of the trek trivia hidden in the new film:


What did they miss?

Excerpts of the new interview with Leonard Nimoy at StarTrek.com

What worked best for you about the film?

NIMOY: It’s hard not to enjoy this movie. There’s so much of a thrill ride happening. The relationships between the characters are terrific. The actors are all wonderful. I’m particularly proud of Zachary Quinto because of my connection to the Spock character. I think Zachary did a wonderful job. But they’re all terrific.

How accepting are you of the alternate timeline and such things as the destruction of Vulcan, the Spock-Uhura romance and, in this film, a Caucasian Khan?


NIMOY: I take it all in stride. I don’t feel that I have any personal investment in that. I am definitely invested in what happens to the future of the Spock character, how it’s played and how it’s portrayed. I think a very good job is being done with that and I’m very proud of that. I’m very happy to be connected with that and Zachary and I are very good friends. I admire him. I think he does wonderful work. As far as the timeline and the storyline are concerned, I do not have a big investment in that.

How did J.J. Abrams approach you about doing your cameo ?

NIMOY: He just said, “Would you come in for a couple of days and do me a favor.”

Be honest, do you think you’ve NOW donned Spock’s pointy ears for the last time or are you still a never-say-never kind of guy?

NIMOY: Wow… That’s impossible to answer. I don’t know. I don’t know what J.J. is going to do. I consider him a very good friend. I think he’s done a great thing for Star Trek. I’m very grateful to him. We all owe him a lot. When someone comes along like he has done and picks it up and elevates it, we should be grateful. So when J.J. calls me, I take the call.

Last question. If J.J. Abrams rings you and says, “Come be in Star Wars,” what would you say?

NIMOY: Oooh. Ooooh, wouldn’t that be fun. I would love to.

You don’t think the galaxy would implode if Spock played a role in Star Wars?

NIMOY: No, no. I think it would work wonderfully. I think it would work just great. I think it would be a great idea, and somebody ought to tell him that.

War of words heats up over last ST movie. See the article at trekweb:

i think it would be cool if nimoy played a character in starwars and had to battle christopher lee

cross-overs can be pretty good... Chekov played a bad character (in a good way) with Bester from babylon 5 too

nice thread headline - maybe change to "ST (12) - Into Darkness"
