Nimoy Willing To Do More Star Trek

Not too surprising, Lenord Nimoy says that he is ready to do more installments for the Star Trek franchise. The 78 year old actor, who reprises his role as the trek fan favorite Spock in the series reboot Star Trek, is such an icon amongst the series that even if the film were to be bad ( which I doubt) people will come see it just to see the real “Spock”. That goes for future additions to the franchise as well. Nimoy had this to say.

After an almost 20 year break from the character Nimoy has come back to the fans and gives us some reasurring comments on his future in the series. ” If J.J. Abrams calls me I answer the phone. I dont say ‘never’ any more” . says the actor. Nimoy did insist that it was “too early to speculate” whether or not he would be getting another call to play his most famous character, but depending on how the film does who can say? Why does he think he can portray Spock a few more times?  ” The character is much more relaxed about who he is and what his life should be about whereas (younger Spock) is just beginning to find himself,” said Nimoy of the movie’s mature Spock. “It works extremely well. The character I portray in this film is much more like who I am today, personally. I am as close as possible to the character as I could ever be.” I know I am excited to see this side of Spock and I hope that we get a little back story on where he has been and what his life has been like.

Nimoy also commented on William Shatner, who played the original Captain Kirk and does not appear in the reboot. Shatner told Nimoy ” now we’re even” in regard to appearing in the “Trek” prequel after Shatner cameoed without Nimoy in 1994′s “Star Trek: Generations“.

Sounds like good stuff to this fan boy.

Would you be excited to see more of Lenord Nimoy? Or do we have to see the film and make sure that we even want more? Let us know.
