Leonard Nimoy on the Longevity of Star Trek with the Production of Star Trek XII

Features

By GustavoLeao / 21:37, 17 May 2012 / Star Trek: Nemesis

BU Today posted a new interview with Leonard Nimoy and here is an excerpt.

There’s a new Star Trek movie scheduled for release next year. Does it make you happy to see the franchise still going strong 45 years after the series debut?

I can’t say I’m surprised, but I am pleased. It’s very flattering to know that we were part of something that has durability, that has a long, long life. I’m not surprised, because even when we were making the series, I thought it could have a long future. It is set in the future, so it wouldn’t outdate itself very quickly. The way it evolved was very surprising. We finished making the series in 1969 when we were canceled, and I thought it might be in syndication for a few years and then gradually disappear. But in the ’70s it took on this whole burst of new life in syndication.
