Leonard Nimoy on the new film
- Thread starter Admiral Buzzkill
- Start date
He does not have to say anything - and unlike some actors, he's perfectly able to restrain himself in that regard.
Anyway, I figure since all of us get to vent our largely-uninformed-and-anxiety-ridden opinions here on the Internet on a daily basis it can't do any harm to bring attention to the opinion of yet one more person who's actually seen the movie and who's invested, um, a little of his life and professional reputation in the Franchise.
Oh, a minor prediction: at some point, probably an industry screening, Rick Berman will see this movie and someone will ask him what he thinks and post that somewhere. He'll say something nice about it and a whole lot of fans will declare that this is proof positive the film will suck.
As a lifelong Trek fanatic with serious qualms and butterflies about this new movie...I sure hope he's right. For most or all our sakes.
Nimoy being in the movie as classic Spock gives me hope that if HE thinks the story is good enough and honors the franchise...maybe most of my fears will be unfounded. Hope so.
Personally I am looking forward to this movie and I do respect Leonard Nimoy as an actor but, well considering this

I'm not to sure if he has accurate opinion of whats a good idea or not.
Also please for the love of God tell me that Old Spock is not going to sing this in the new movie.

I did no such thing.
I said that he's perfectly able to restrain himself from making comments if he chooses.
Since he's not required to be making an enthusiastic endorsement like this and since he is capable of restraining himself from seeking public attention just for the sake of it, there is reason to take his opinion seriously rather than just tossing off an ill-thought comment like "well of course he's going to say it's wonderful. what's he going to say... it sucks?"
He was young and needed the money... duh!
of course he's not "required " to make an enthusiastic endorsement like that , but it's a bit unrealistic to think he would say anything other than something positive about the film, don't you think?
Yes, but at what cost.
Bringing that song (and its video) up at this time is playing dirty pool. Shame on you.
Besides, we all heard it from Leonard's wife-
The movie was so awful, she wished it'd never end so it wouldn't get released and so the poor fans wouldn't have an opportunity to see it. See how much he and his wife care about us?
So there!
Just to be fair, notice we don't get HIS opinion, but that of his wife? He's simply passing it on to us, saying she's tough to please, making her opinion seem all the more favorable.
He turned down Generations didn't he?
(For the record, I thought Generations was very good, shoot me.)

Star Trek Generations is awesome
Better than two of the three other NEXT GEN films...that's for sure. I have fond memories of seeing GENERATIONS multiple times in the theaters around the time of my 20th birthday. Really got into the film and rushed to get it on VHS when it was released on home video the next year.
