Might we see the original Kick and Spock back on the screen again?
Quite possibly.
Actor Leonard Nimoy, best known as the pointy-eared Vulcan in the “Star Trek” saga, tells The Toronto Sun that Paramount has spoken to him – and Bill Shatner - about being involved in J.J Abrams’ new “Trek” film.
Creative consultant? Executive producer? Casting approval? Duet for the end credits? Nope, seems, Nimoy and Shatner might be back to reprise their roles as the ‘older’ Spock and Kirk, respectively, for the new prequel film – if even briefly.
"The head of production at Paramount called my agency to tell them about this project and they are aware of Bill [Shatner]'s and my contribution to the franchise," Nimoy explains, "and they'd like us to know they might want some involvement. It was all very, very general. They might possibly want Bill and I to set up the story as a flashback. But that's just conjecture on my part."
I think it would be a silly move on Paramount’s behalf if they didn’t ask Nimoy and Shatner to appear.
