Features

St.Louis Jewishlight.com posted an exclusive interview with Star Trek star Leonard Nimoy, in which he talks about his photography career. Nimoy also talks briefly about his return to the role of an older Spock in J.J. Abrams upcoming Star Trek movie.

"I will be acting in a new Star Trek movie, that is going to be filmed later this year and early next year, the first acting job I have accepted in 15 or 18 years." he said "So they need me to came back once more to play the character of Spock, in a sort of prequel to the original story." He agreed the project because he liked the director and script. The acting role that first made him famous has persisted in his life. "I am still strongly identified with it, no question about it, and there will be a surge again because of this new movie. I took the job because it is being directed by a very talented young director, J. J. Abrams, and he has writers working with him that have don e a wonderful job of capturing the essence of Star Trek. So I am happy to be back doing it. I will always be identified with Spock, no question, but I am happy to say I have been able to gain more and more acceptance of my photography."

A Logical Gamble? | Report this post to moderator

Not only is Nimoy coming out of long retirement to be a part of this project, but he's predicting a surge in Star Trek popularity as a result of this film. I think this marks the first time in Star Trek history that, upon first reading it, Nimoy didn't have a problem with a Star Trek movie script he didn't help write.

Nimoy's vocal and positive assessment of something I haven't read myself is the strongest case for being optimistic about this story. The "Vice President" of Star Trek is laying his credibility on the line, uncharacteristically, and that wouldn't be the logical thing to do unless it was a good gamble.
