What was the point of holding the Nimoy scene out of the initial release? I figured having some kind of shot with him in it would have been mandatory for any trailer. Having him in the film is kind of a big deal after all.
Because they are trying to attract a whole new generation. If people who don't like Star Trek watched the first trailer, they'd go "Damn, sweet action flick" but if nimoy appeared they'd all groan and see Old Star Trek and roll their eyes.
THis Spock cameo was for the fans.
And as fuckin awesome as this version of it is, the timing is WAY off, I like the first better. Still kicksass to see Nimoy though
