If you read this interview with J.J. Abrams about the new “Star Trek” movie, he confirms that Leonard Nimoy playing the adult Spock is no cameo. You will get the adult Spock pretty much throughout the entire movie.

My guess is that the adult Spock is the narrator of the story, he’s telling the story of the younger cast.

Very cool. I’m happy to hear that Leonard as Spock is not a tiny role, and glad he is the lead.

Will JJ give the adult Captain Kirk a tribute in the film where Spock is visiting Kirk’s gravesite? I hope JJ does.

Keep in mind that both “Terminator Salvation” and “Star Trek” are both being released on the same weekend in May. “Star Trek” is being released May 8th and “Terminator Salvation” is being released May 9th.

Oh my, talk about a huge competition in the box office.  Now I can see why “Terminator” and “Star Trek” don’t want to release on the same day ’cause of the box office thing. “Terminator” is being released on a Saturday and it’s very rare that movies get released that day.

That May weekend is a bad time to release “Star Trek” ’cause I have a feeling “Terminator” will destroy “Star Trek” in the box office anyways, but we’ll wait and see.

I will see both of those movies, of course.
