'Star Trek XI' Trailer Updated

A new version of the Star Trek XI trailer was released today and it has one small change, a three-second addition of the original Spock.

As reported by Ain't It Cool News, Leonard Nimoy's Spock is now at the end of the trailer, right before the Federation emblem appears.

Dressed in an outfit with a fur collar, Nimoy's elderly Spock is seen saying "Live long and prosper" along with displaying the Vulcan hand gesture that usually accompanies the saying.

^ Wrong franchise.

Why does this remind me of that scene in The Simpson's Movie with Tom Hanks?

Tom Hanks: Hello, I'm Tom Hanks. The US Government has lost its credibility so it's borrowing some of mine.

AWESOME!

It doesn't look like they've updated the HD ones on the official site yet though.

This flick will violate canon like a priest behind an altar boy but the movie will still ROCK!

I think I'm going to go downtown and see it in IMAX if it opens the same day as at the regular theater.

I can't wait 'til May 8th.

I prefer Spock saying "Live Long and Prosper" over Nero saying "The Wait is Over" any day.

I sure hope Nimoy can pull off this role. He's going to have a hard time being compared to Quinto.

He looks great, granted under makeup etc, but he looks great.

And the grey hair is kind of reminiscent of Mark Lenards Sarek, as if its gone full circle. To quote Superman; The son becomes the father, and the father becomes the son.

If there were any indication from online discussion or polls that this was the case, that would be a funny quip.

With fan reaction running 80-90% positive, it's less so.

Re: 'Star Trek XI' Trailer Updated

I'd say it either stemmed from:

1) The execs saying "How can we get a legend and major marketing pull in there, and not use him? Put him in."

or

2) Leonard Nimoy's reps contacted Paramount and asked why the film's top actor wasn't featured in it.

I'm inclined to say it's #2, but both are of course guesses.
