Adam Nimoy has been chatting about a new documentary, that'll pay tribute to his father, and to the character of Mr Spock.
NewsBefore his death back in February, the wonderful Leonard Nimoy had been working with his son, Adam, on a documentary by the name of For the Love of Spock. The film is charting the story of the character across nearly five decades, and what made him so special, and as Adam Nimoy has said, "the inspiration was the 50th anniversary of Star Trek: The Original Series, which is coming up next year. I had read a number of books on the making of Star Trek and just felt that there was a lot that was missing about the creation and evolution of Spock that we should re-tell in film form." His father agreed.
Since the death of his father, Adam Nimoy has launched a Kickstarter to get the film completed, and it's over half way to its $600,000 goal. Billed as "a personal documentary," you can find out more about the project here.
Chatting to The Wrap, Adam Nimoy added that "The idea is really to explore who Spock is and why he resonates. What is it about him that has inspired people, that people have walked into, that has touched so many people, passionately, about Mr Spock."
The film will also, in tandem with that, explore Leonard Nimoy himself. "What is it about him in his life that has also had such impact on people. A lot to do about his artistic integrity, his desire to continue to explore and express himself in a creative way," Nimoy Jr added.
We look forward to seeing the completed movie, and are off to donate...
