Leonard Nimoy As Mr Spock in J.J. Abrams Star Trek
The one question that J.J. Abrams left folks asking is. What is the future for the original Spock.
At the end of Abrams movie Nimoy’s Spock was on the verge of rebuilding Vulcan on a new planet. However he feels we are unlikely to see that journey for the character in the next Star Trek movie, and he told Star Trek Communicator and Official Fan Club founder Dan Madsen about this in a new interview featured at Trekmovie.com
“It certainly is the beginning of a new era for Spock! It is impossible to predict about me and Spock. I have no idea where they want to go next, and I feel very comfortable either way. I feel very gratified that I have been able to have some kind of closure. If this is the closure, then I am very comfortable with it. I was not happy at all with the closure that was imposed on the Spock character some years ago when Spock was just simply abandoned and Kirk was killed all in one fell swoop! I felt both were great losses to Star Trek. There was no reason to kill Kirk, and there was a neglect of the Spock character. It seemed intentional. It seemed as if someone was saying, ‘Well, we have to put a stop to that and start with a whole new era here.’ Having had this movie and this experience as Spock and seeing Zachary Quinto in the role now, I feel the character has a potentially wonderful, new life and certainly the success of the movie is just so terrific! It is so wonderful to see this happen and to see Star Trek have a chance of a reinvention and a revival. It was certainly in need of a revival. … “
For those who are getting Nimoy withdrawal. Fans will be able to catch up with the actor when Fringe returns in the fall.
