From: akov68::boyajian Stewart Weiner: I don't know a hell of a lot about ST3:tsfs, but what I have heard is that Nimoy is only directing the film, not starring in it (of course, if it were to be made known at this time that he was starring in it, everyone would know that Spock was indeed alive, so you can't really go by that). I've heard nothing about Khan returning, though Mark Lenard has been signed on to play Sarek. Rumor has it that there is to be a big space battle with the Klingons or Romulans, but I haven't heard any conformation on that. Kirstie Allie (sp?) has been dropped from the cast; she apparently got too uppity and wanted more money. Saavik fans, however should note that some other actress has been signed up to play Saavik, and one source says that she bears a fairly close resemblence to Kirstie Allie. ---jayembee Jerry Boyajian @ DEC, Maynard decvax!decwrl!rhea!akov68!boyajian
