Nimoy and Shatner May Return in New Star Trek Movie
The Toronto Comic Expo is happening this weekend, and among the special guests in attendance this year are Kirk and Spock themselves, William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy. The Toronto Sun interviewed Nimoy this week, and he revealed some surprising news about the upcoming Star Trek movie that is being produced by J.J. Abrams. Despite the insistence that the new movie will be a complete “reboot” of the Trek franchise, introducing a brand new cast of characters and severing all connections with past movies, it seems that Paramount may want Nimoy and Shatner to be involved after all. “They might possibly want Bill and I to set up the story as a flashback. But that’s just conjecture on my part.” This would seem to support the possibility of the new movie featuring a young Kirk and Spock after all. Personally, I’d be okay with that. Although I’m interested in a fresh take, I think you do need something to connect it to previous Trek incarnations, otherwise it just wouldn’t feel like Star Trek anymore. But let’s hope this doesn’t turn into another Star Trek: Generations.

They should just announce what it’s going to be already.
And all respect to Leonard Nimoy, he did do good voicework in the transformers animated movie, but please keep your mouth shut about stuff like this. Please.
You of all people should know fans, and know that no matter how many times you say “that’s just conjecture” webmasters all over the world will freak out about it.
