Boston Phoenix posted a new interview with Star Trek star Leonard Nimoy and here are few excerpts.
How close did Eddie Murphy get to being in Star Trek IV?
We tried to build a story that included him. He was a big Star Trek fan and very serious about it. I had a couple of meetings with him. The first time I met him, I said, "We admire you, you admire us. We don't want to hurt each other. If we can come up with a story that works, let's do this."
We spent some time working on a story where we, the crew, come to Earth, just as we do in Star Trek IV during the 20th century, and he was to portray a radio-talk-show guy who dealt with subjects like the paranormal and alien visitors and began to suspect that he had spotted us as aliens. That was to be the game - him trying to figure out who we were and what we were doing. The story just didn't hold up, finally, and we had to let him go.
There have been comparisons between Obama and Spock. If he's Spock, who is Sarah Palin?
Oh God. I'm not going to go there. I've met Obama a couple of times. The first time, my wife and I went to a very modest luncheon, very early, when he was just starting to put himself out there as a candidate. We were waiting for him outside on the back patio of this lovely home, and he came through and saw me and gave me the Vulcan hand gesture and said, "They told me you were here."
I'm aware of the comparisons. He's got a tough, tough job. I don't think he'd hoped or planned to be the president presiding over two wars and a severe economic crisis. There will be people sniping at him for what Dick Cheney referred to as "dithering." Well, for Christ's sake, how about giving it some thoughtful process before you send thousands of kids to die? It's painful to watch the political game, them trying to outdo each other, to get political points at the expense of reality and intelligence.
The full interview is here.
