Leonard Nimoy Says New Star Trek Movie Will Revitalize the Entire Franchise

Features

By GustavoLeao / 07:47, 13 January 2008 / Star Trek: Nemesis

Journalist Peter Hossli sent to TrekWeb excerpts of a yet to be published interview with Star Trek star Leonard Nimoy. Here is the excerpts of the interview regarding Star Trek. Thanks to Mr. Hossli. Please visit his website at Hossli.com

Let´s talk about "Star Trek". 

Nimoy: Why? Is this really necessary? 

Currently you´re preparing another "Star Trek" movie. You play Spock as an old man. What  kind of ailments does he have? 

Nimoy: [laughs, then picks up a photograph] whenever you go to Rome next time you need  to visit Villa Borghese. You´ll find Canova´s Paulina sculpture. It´s simply gorgeous. Yes, I´m  in the new "Star Trek" movie. Let´s leave it at that.

"Star Trek" still has tremendous culture resonance. How has its impact changed over the  years? 

Nimoy: I haven´t paid much to what´s been happening to "Star Trek". I´ve been out of it since  1989, almost 20 years. Now were going into a project that in its own way is going to be a very  important project if it works. It will revitalize the entire "Star Trek" franchise. It will be a very big, very expensive movie, much more expansive than any of the movies I was involved with.  I directed two "Star Trek" films, the last one I directed, the budget was about 27 million dollar.  With this one, the budget will be about 150 million dollars.

$150 million isn't that unusual for a big studio production today. Transformers cost around $150 million, and I think Spider-man 3 cost a good deal more.
