Sci-fi icon Leonard Nimoy’s days as an active part of Hollywood are numbered. Nimoy recently announced that he’s ready to retire from acting at the ripe old age of 79. What will Star Trek fans around the world do now that he’s permanently out of the spotlight? If you haven’t already, it’s time to warm up to Zachary Quinto because for the next few decades he’s going to be your number one Vulcan.
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. Bay is a cousin of Nimoy’s, but he still hasn’t been able to ask him.

As the opening credits for the film began to roll for what people THOUGHT was going to be just a sneak peek of the film, the projection began to malfunction.

Leonard Nimoy made an appearance to introduce the film, brought along with him the entire J.J. Abrams Star Trek, and then answered questions. Nimoy’s appearance was so well planned that Harry Knowles was shocked.

I’ve got some good news and some bad news for Transformers fans. When Paramount announced that there would be a third film, it seemed as if they jumped the gun on a lot of things. For one, director Michael Bay blasted the studio for setting a premature release date for the flick. Bay stated that he agreed to directing the film for 2012 not 2011 as reported. If that wasn’t bad enough none of the cast from the first two films were attached at the time of the announcement. The only other thing that would make me more nervous about Transformers 3 is if the original writers dropped out. Wait a minute…….. Continue Reading
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.
Looks like this one is sexier, more dramatic, and has MUCH bigger explosions.
Check out the new trailer in high-def below…
