For the occasion of Fan Expo Canada, the Toronto Star spoke to Leonard Nimoy by phone from Lake Tahoe.
The retired actor pursues his interest in photography, and has cut back on his appearances at conventions. "I'm probably scheduled for four, five, six Star Trek events every year. Now this year, there happens to be more interest because of the 40th anniversary. That's kicked up some press interest and press interest kicks up other interest."
The thespian formerly known as Spock hasn't sought to be in the Star Trek XI development loop.
"All I know is what I've been reading, probably the same as you, that (J.J. Abrams) has been engaged and expressed interest in a Star Trek movie, and the idea expressed so far is that it would be a prequel that would deal with the time and place where Spock and Kirk first met in their academy days."
Who might be his choice of actor in the role of young Spock? "I haven't gone there yet, I think it's premature," said Nimoy. "Although I do, by contract, have the right to approve the casting."
It may be safe to assume that William Shatner has similar influence over Kirk's new face.
When asked about Abrams' film, Shatner replied, "I have no idea. All I know is I've received an okay from Paramount to go ahead with a series of books that I'm writing on the young Captain Kirk and the young Mr. Spock. I started work on that just recently. And that will be my idea of what the story should be."
During an interview last year on the Tony Danza Show (story), Shatner mentioned that he had pitched his young Kirk-Spock storyline to CBS Paramount as a television series to succeed Enterprise.
Both Shatner and Nimoy will be in Toronto next Sunday for Fan Expo Canada 2006, September 1-3, at the Metro Convention Centre. "It's a heart-warming, family reunion kind of event," Nimoy said. "It's like coming home."

Leonard Nimoy will appear at Congregation Beth Shalom on October 21 to present his one-man, multimedia show See What I See: Shekhina, reports The Signal. Nimoy's presentation kicks off the Congregation Beth Shalom Distinguished Speaker Lecture Series. Seating is extremely limited.
William Shatner's Captain's Glory is on shelves now in the U.S.A., Canada, United Kingdom, and Deutschland.

... if Shatner does not have the same approval rights. It was spoken of often in the eighties that Shatner and Nimoy had clauses that gave one another equal rights and monies.

They had some seriously good lawyers. After reading Shatner's Movie Memories, this adds even more fodder to just how baroque those contracts of their's truely are; I wonder if there are any more contractual trap-doors, beneficial to Nimoy and Shatner, that we've yet to learn about.

The autumn days swung soft around me, like cotton on
my skin. But as the embers of the summer lost their
breath and disappeared, my heart went cold, and
only hollow rhythms resounded from within.
