They could make a whole series based on that!

Come on, how would they stretch that out to seven years?

Hubris, maybe? It's worth a shot.

I think Nimoy is supposed to play a different vulcan. Atleast I think thats what they said at startrek.com

I never heard of *THAT*! It is always said that he will play Spock. He said so himself, I think. If memory serves well, this was said on TrekMovie.com ...

EDIT: Here it is ...

 

[Kaziarl]

I'm pretty sure it was mentioned that any of the old crew would be cameo, which is to say not there original characters

TrekMovie.com: So you have a meaty role in this film?

Leonard Nimoy: I would not refer to it as a cameo, it has been referred to as a cameo in various press and I wouldn’t describe it like that. Cameo is a brief appearance in one scene. This is a functional role in the film.

TrekMovie.com: So you have multiple scenes in the film?

Leonard Nimoy: Yes

Leonard Nimoy: The Spock character that I am playing, the original Spock character, is essential and important to the script.

That settles it, then.

T'Bonz, please reboot this forum.

Frankly, having Nimoy playing a Vulcan other than Spock would be a dumb idea.

 

[Kegek]

There was a rumour at one point he was going to be Sarek.

But that was months ago. Before Zach Quinto was confirmed, even... and Sarek's been cast in the interim.

I was just asking a question, I hadn't seen the article where they publisized the fact that nimoy is going to be spock. Hence why I was asking in the first place.

Now that I know this, I can better reply to the time travel idea.

All I can say is I sincerely hope not. Unless the have an extreamly good writer, time travel is hard enough for them in the episodes, let alone the big screen.

I dont know it worked pretty good in Voyage Home and First Contact-

I could buy into the slingshot method, esp. since its been done before to good effect, and it has cool visuals perfect for the big screen.

[RoJoHen]

If they do the slingshot, will we get a weird cracked-out giant head sequence like we did in TVH?

Because otherwise I just don't think it'll work.

 

[seigezunt]

giant heads in milk. mmmmm.

 

[StarMan]

The logical approach would be for Spock to hijack the Orb Of Time. Most movie going folk will know about the orbs, won't they?

I know only of the Orb's son, Roy.

The Guardian Across the Street From Forever. (suck on that Harlan!!!)

 

[RoJoHen]

I'm pretty sure the Guardian was exaggerating anyway. I mean, forever is a long fucking time.

 

[Valar]

I'm hoping for an Ikonian Gateway. After years of Stargate pablum, the audience would eat up the premise behind those suckers.

But I think the gateway works more like a wormhole, in order to span great distances in space,but not for time travel.

 

[Holytomato]

Spock is the future guy! Yes! :thumbsup:

 

[Woulfe]

Slingshot around Shatner's Ego !

No one would expect that !
