Leonard Nimoy Injured His Nose on the Star Trek Movie Set - Minor Spoilers

Features

By GustavoLeao / 01:33, 26 March 2008 / Star Trek: Nemesis

According to the New York Observer, on Wednesday, March 19, on a soundstage at Paramount Studios during the filming of the new Star Trek movie, cast and crew were riveted by the news that Leonard Nimoy had fallen on the set the day before and injured his nose.
 
According to a source of the Observer site, Nimoy makes several cameos in the film in the form of a spirit (?). This contradicts the rumors about time travel, which were confirmed by several sites and at Wizard World convention this month.

So, this information is preliminary, of course, and entirely rumor.

Also according to the site, during the veteran actor's last day of filming, director J.J. Abrams gave a speech about what an honor it was to have worked with him.

"You know the sets are so dark and he's an old guy," said a makeup artist of the actor, who turns 77 on Wednesday, March 26. "He must have just tripped."


"There was some talk about using a double and how they were making a wig for the double, so that the guy would look more like Leonard Nimoy," said the original source. "But then they ended up using Leonard Nimoy."

The original report is here.

Quote from Poetwarrior78:
Confirmed by whom?


The time-travel plot rumor originated at AICN, which was "confirmed" by IESB.net and some gossip blogs.

It's still hearsay, it's not confirmed by anyone who can speak for ST:XI.
