Leonard Nimoy Praises New Star Trek Cast, Says He Does Not Expect to Return as Spock in Star Trek XII

Features

By GustavoLeao / 10:37, 17 November 2009 / Star Trek: Nemesis

ComingSoon.net posted a new interview with Star Trek star Leonard Nimoy and here is an excerpt.

Asked why he feels he will not return as Ambassador Spock for Star Trek XII, Nimoy said  "They have Zachary Quinto. I was useful to make the bridge between the original and the new and that's done. This cast of characters is in great shape. They're a wonderful, talented bunch of people and the chemistry between them is appropriate. They've got it! They know how to do it. They've done it well in this movie and they'll do it again well in the future movies. I think I served a purpose and I'm happy that I was in it."

According to Nimoy, he's not so sure he'll be asked to come back for the next film.

"It's not a question of whether I'd want to be [in the movie]. If I get a phone call I'll answer the phone, but I'm not expecting that call to come."

The full interview, in which Mr Nimoy also talks about Fringe, is here.

I really think Nimoy underestimates his importance to Trek, even to this day. Spock Prime is our lone link to the prime universe, whether you accept that it's gone or believe it still exists.

That's a value. Not to mention--he's Leonard Nimoy, and he will never be unneeded to Star Trek. I believe Abrams at least understands that to a degree in a way that Berman never did.
