Fans now have the chance to bring Leonard Nimoy’s dream to fruition.
Adam Nimoy, son of the late “Star Trek” actor, has launched a Kickstarter campaign to make a documentary about the iconic character Mr. Spock, in time for the classic series’ 50th anniversary next year.
“Last year, just before Thanksgiving, I approached my dad, Leonard Nimoy, about the possibility of working together on a film about Mr. Spock,” Adam Nimoy wrote on the site. “I had skimmed through some of the books on the making of Star Trek and felt there was so much more to explore about the birth and evolution of Spock.”
The late actor agreed it was a good idea, according to the Kickstarter post. The film’s title: “For the Love of Spock.”
The Kickstarter already has support from “Trek” alum and Nimoy friend William Shatner. Zachary Quinto, who plays Spock in the “Star Trek” reboots, has agreed to narrate the film, according to Nimoy.
At this writing, the Kickstarter has picked up nearly $40,000 in donations out of a $600,000 goal, with 28 days to go.
