Nimoy May Be the Star of the Next Trek Film?
ajs writes "Moriarty, over on Ain't It Cool News is running a column about the upcoming J.J. Abrams Star Trek movie. In it, he discusses some theories about where the movie is going, but doesn't reveal his sources. He claims that Nimoy's Spock, not the younger versions of the original Trek trio, will be the primary star of the film; and that the movie will make some very substantial changes to the Trek lore in a way that is internally consistent with what went before, but opens up many more options for future franchise films or series. If he's right, there are some pretty substantial spoilers in the column." Obviously, as unverifiable speculation this should be taken with a grain of salt. Live long and prosper.

The higher the technology, the sharper that two-edged sword.
I once read that Nimoy invented the Vulcan neck pinch early on in ToS because he couldn't be bothered filming all the running around and fighting. Perhaps the older Nimoy will come up with a bone-snapping Eyebrow Raise of Doom.

Are you, perchance, a Perl programmer?
They could make a movie about Moore's paradox, but I don't think they could.

Can I get a second?

They're using their grammar skills there.
i was hoping for "the rock" dwayne johnson to play spock
they both got that eyebrow raise
"DO YOU SMELL WHAT THE SPOCK IS COOKING?"
the vulcan nerve pinch could segue into a chokeslam and a powerbomb followed by a pummeling by a folding chair
