Michael Bay’s newest blockbuster, Transformer: Rise of the Fallen, is sure to sell tickets at the box office. But how many more people would go to see it if Leonard Nimoy voiced “the Fallen”? A bunch more. Enough to fill a convention with. So what’s keeping this from happening? It doesn’t make any sense that it hasn’t already.

If that wasn’t bad enough none of the cast from the first two films were attached at the time of the announcement.

Over the weekend the new Star Trek trailer was released before Quantum of Solace and we posted a fairly crappy, boot-legged version of the film. Well now you don’t have to settle for less.

Check out the new trailer in high-def below…
