HERALD OUTLOOK Saturday June 17 1K Page 23 Leonard Nimoy is back in Star Trek V STAR SPEAK How would you compare rectlng style to Shatner A I think Bill said it best The dif ference between a film and a Shatner film is that Shatners have a lot more running and jumping He s much more physical I much more cerebral 1 11 duck a fight scene any way I can During the TV series whenever there was a way to let him do a fight scene instead of me Id let him Leonard Nimoy returns as the stoi Mr Spock in Star Trek V The Ft Frontier After directing and starring in the two previous Star Trek films moy has relinquished part of the workload His friend and costar Uam Shatner directed the fifth big screen adventure of the Starship Enterprise Although is best known on screen as Mr Spock the Boston born actor has found steady work behind the camera as well In addition to two Star Trek films also direct ed Three Men and a Baby the hit and The Good Moth which starred Diane Keaton in a drama about alleged child molestation Unlike some members of the Star Trek cast has enjoyed a sue cessf ul career apart from the voyages of the Enterprise After the original TV series fin ished production in spent two years playing a crimefighting genius on Mission Impossible He toured in a oneman show about the life of Vincent Van Gogh which was later televised And he has appeared in the TV minlseries Marco Polo and A Woman Called Golda as Golda husband Since you directed the previous Star Trek and Shatner directed this one was there any rivalry on the set between the two of you A None at all We ve been great friends since the TV series Directing is such a technical exercise there no time for rivalry You re so worried about setting up the next shot or get ting the take before you lose the light

Trafalgar Ret GREAT TASTING CHICKEN CHIPS AND MORE TAKE OUT ONLY ST 8771646 SUN CLOSED Leonard Nimoy I read that your reluctance to get physical led to the famous Vol can nerve pinch A Right The script said I was sup posed to nit the villain with the butt of a gun I said Why don 1 1 just pinch bis neck Instead From then on whenever I had to incapacitate some body instead of getting all sweaty and bruised all I did was apply a little pressure to the back of his neck I think we could end world violence with the Vulcan nerve pinch laughs Whats your next project Aim directing footage for a ride at the new MGMDisney amusement in Orlando Its called Body tars We tell the audience theyve been miniaturized and take them through a tour of the human body Its sort of like Fantastic Voyage The two Star Trek films you directed were huge boxoffice hits How did they ever let you direct a completely different kind of movie like Three Men and a Baby A One of the reasons my Star Trek movies made so much money was that they bad a lot of humor And obviously Three Men and a Baby was also a comedy After Star Trek I was offered a lot of comedies Plus I had worked with the same stu executives on all three films They knew my work and we had a good relationship Why do you think The Good Mother failed with the critics and the movie going public A The script was sensitive and tasteful an a controversial subject I thought it would attract good actors I think the star Diane Keaton would have been a serious contender for awards If her character had ended up more heroic Anyway the film did well in video because I believe the audience feels more comfortable watching the subject matter in the privacy of their homes Will you direct a sequel to Three Men and a Baby Aid tike to I don t know if we can clear the schedules of the three stars so they can get back together We re thinking of using the same twins who were in the first film because It ON DIVISION OF win HOLDING LTD 8771234 877

The Trou ble With Tribbles was a lot of fun This Side of Paradise Spock fell in love City on the Edge of Forever with Joan Collins And the pilot The Menagerie was really good TV fiction Did you ever think there would be five Star Trek movies A I thought each film was the last After the first one I was sure there wouldn t be any others because no body liked it I was also concerned that they d make them cheaper and cheaper and run it into the ground like they did with Planet of the Apes Each one of those got tackier and tackier GEORGETOWN CINEMAS 235 GUELPH STREET 8731999 CINEMA 1 DEAD POETS
