[net.movies] STII & III

kik (06/28/82)

 
A friend told me that the missile they put Spock in was marked Mark VI (I
missed that).  If so, does anyone know the significance?  Also I have 
heard that ST-III will be called "In Search Of Spock" and will definitely
have Nimoy in it.  Anyone else heard about this sequel yet?

Yes, ST III is planned. Yes, it will be called Search for Spock.
I think Nimoy signed up for this one (he was offered a contract, that
i know.) The producer plans to try to put out
at least one 'episode' a year. Whew!

The title of StarTrek III is not necessarily going to be called "Search for
Spock".  This title appeared in a Star Ledger article a few weeks ago
but only as a pun, in reference to Leonard Nimoy's TV show called "In Search
Of".  Besides, in the movie, there is no consideration at all given to his
chance of surviving---this is not logical.
My most recent information tells me that all characters of II are signed up
for III except for Nimoy and Savik.  The woman who plays Savik is from Kansas
and has only been in Holleywood for 18 months.  She is currently being asked
to sign contracts with Warner.  Nimoy has recently indicated that he was 
originally not going to return to Star Trek but outcrys against this has led
him to reconsider.  This last bit came from a NYC radio program dated
7/9/82.   Any comments??? signed pnb. (in care of rrb)

I must protest the denigration of the actress who played Saavik.
Being a Kansas native, I resent the implication that the fact
that she is from Kansas has anything to do with her not signing for
ST III yet.  Certainly the fact that she has only been in Hwood
for 18 months is much more significant.
