Spock to be Played by Both Leonard Nimoy and Zachary Quinto
Spock found; Looking for Kirk
Director JJ Abrams has announced at the Comic-Con Paramount panel that Leonard Nimoy and Zachary Quinto will both be playing the role of Spock in his Star Trek prequel. Since the latest in this long-running franchise will center on a young James T. Kirk and Mr. Spock, either a flashback (flash forward?) or time travel must be involved. He also told the attendants that he's still looking of his Kirk. More reports from our team on the ground are forthcoming.
Tentatively titled Star Trek XI, the movie will begin filming sometime this fall for a theatrical release on Christmas Day 2008.

on Jul 26 2007 06:32 PM I hate Zachary Quinto In "Heroes". He's such an overactor. He's like Jason Schwartzman's uglier twin. That overacts. (Reply to this) |
on Jul 26 2007 07:28 PM He looks like a Spock, though. Good enough, so long as he can also underact. (Not to diminish Leonard Nimoy's excellent performances, of course.) (Reply to this) |
on Jul 26 2007 07:34 PM Think Spock will see himself face-to-face, young-to-old? That would look weird. (Reply to this) |

on Jul 26 2007 07:39 PM I hope he does what I would do if I ran into a younger/older version of myself due to time travel. That of course, is super-fancy masturbation. I don't think that makes me gay. (Reply to this) |
on Jul 26 2007 07:51 PM I wonder if there's any truth to the rumour of Antonio Banderas playing a young Khan? (Reply to this) |
on Jul 26 2007 08:30 PM It's great that we see Nimoy as Spock again, but let's hope that the reasoning for his appearance fits and doesn't appear to be a convoluted twist just to get Nimoy in the movie. (Reply to this) |
on Jul 26 2007 08:40 PM I just hope they do a large search for the Kirk role. At a few open casting calls, to find a new face to fill that role. (Reply to this) |

on Jul 27 2007 06:40 AM I thought they had killed off Kirk in #7 (although it seems that Picard was "channeling him" in 9 and 10)! Alas! Everything old isn't necessarily good! (Reply to this) |

on Jul 27 2007 12:15 PM Flashbacks? Flashforwards? Sound a lot like another JJ Abrams production... The enterprise crashes on a deserted planet, or so it seems, and the crew that survived find out that they are not alone. *BOOM* STAR TREK XI (Reply to this) |
