…it’s probably just Trekkies pissing themselves with excitement at the announcement that Paramount has been in contact with both William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy about the possibility of them being involved in J.J. Abrams’ new “Star Trek” film.
“The head of production at Paramount called my agency to tell them about this project and they are aware of Bill [Shatner]’s and my contribution to the franchise,” Nimoy explained, “and they’d like us to know they might want some involvement. It was all very, very general.
“They might possibly want Bill and I to set up the story as a flashback,” added Nimoy. “But that’s just conjecture on my part.”
By the way, it’s interesting to note that Nimoy had it written into his contract that he must approve of any other individual cast to play the role of Spock. Talk about thinking ahead…
