New Jersey 2009

 

TrekMovie has a con report from "Star Trek New Jersey 2009":

After a music video tribute, all were seated for Mr. Nimoy, who seems to look younger every year. The actor revealed that he has already filmed his new bits as William Bell for Fringe. As for the Star Trek: Something Something, sequel, Spock Prime said he had not been contacted by the Abrams team, but went on to say that he didn’t think he needed believes the torch has been passed to the new cast. His praise for the latest film is unwavering, and his answer to “What is your favorite episode” was always “Have you seen the new film?”

Questions were typical, and Nimoy has a way of making even the silliest of them valid, and providing great answers. One high-point was a young man dressed in a Trek uniform surrounded by a cape, and carrying a lightsaber. As a “Starfleet Jedi,” he believed in the compatibility of Vulcan and Jedi philosophies, and did Mr. Nimoy agree. Nimoy answered: “Why would a Vulcan want to be a Jedi?” to thunderous applause. You had to be there. He also (again) answered a question about his infamous ‘Bilbo Baggins music video.

Another great story was the time he was in Tokyo around the time of STIV on his way to a bookstore to promote the Trek books, big in Japan at the time. In the car with him was the translator for all the books who told him Shatner was “getting too fat” to play the Captain amongst other things wrong with series. Nimoy then praised his old friend, and how he has transformed his career in recent years. Nimoy also mentioned that he is planning to exhibit new photographs from his “Identity Project” next July in North Adams, MA, and after a question, discussed his ‘other career’ as a photographer in some detail for the audience. And when asked what he would do if Star Trek never happened, Nimoy said he would want to be a therapist.

There are three (1, 2, 3,) more videos of Leonard Nimoy at the convention available on YouTube, but picture (and audio) quality give you a good idea where J.J. Abrams might have gotten his idea for the visual aesthetics for Cloverfield from.

Grand Slam XI, Pasadena (2003)

 

 

After the introduction for 'the Stars of Star Trek' both William Shatner (Kirk-'The Original Series') and Leonard Nimoy (Spock-vThe Original Series'/'Next Generation') strolled onto the stage. The format was conversation between the two. Shatner brought up (again!) the lack of funds for special effects in Star Trek V. One spooky occurrence was that the spotlights went out right after they mentioned DeForrest Kelley’s (McCoy-'The Original Series') name. (Maybe he was there after all.) At one point Shatner turned around to the screen which was calling ticket holders to Carrie Fisher’s autograph line. He called, 'Where’s Carrie?' She came out and went nose to nose with him. She then gave them both a kiss (although Nimoy hammed it up a bit) and went back to her signing. Then Nimoy presented Shatner with Creation’s Lifetime Achievement Award for Science Fiction and Fantasy Genres.
