Leonard Nimoy to Play Spock in Next Star Trek Movie

Posted by Zonk on from the leonard-nimoy-must-be-rolling-in-his-grave dept.

mcgrew writes "The AP is reporting that Leonard Nimoy will 'don his famous pointy ears again' in the next Star Trek movie, due out Christmas of next year. From the article: 'He greeted the crowd with a Vulcan salute. Nimoy was joined by the newly named young Spock, "Heroes" star Zachary Quinto [Sylar], who bears an uncanny resemblance to Nimoy. Both Spocks were introduced by the film's director and co-producer, J.J. Abrams.'"

    Sensors indicate the phenomena is a form of information reference, however, scanners are unable to ascertain just what that information may be.

    Spock, have you tried using Google News to find a link to the story that doesn't require registration? :::raises eyebrow not to convey fascination, but annoyance:::

    Doh! The message is coming on the viewscreen now Captain.

    He'll be sitting in a rocking chair on his porch, playing his Vulcan lyre and stopping only to yell at kids for walking on his lawn.

    Ain't gonna happen. It's Star-trek college days.

    It's gonna be animal house meet's star trek and it's gonna end with an interglactic kegger.

    Basically lots of green bare breasts, Spock will discover his date is really only 14, and Kirk will be screaming for a road trip while they talk scotty into letting them use his brothers shuttlecraft.

    It will all come together at the end when the group crashes the awards ceremony in the "death shuttle" with Kirk dressed as a pirate, sulu in buttless chaps hitting on all the men, and the ceremony ending in disaster.

    That's been Shatner's motto for decades.

    Not quite.

    The ... need ... for ... money ... outweighs .. the ... need ... for ... dignity!

    There you go. It's not true Shatner unless it's overacted.
