In an interview with Spock (Nimoy) on "Entertainment Tonight", He said that although a few endings where shot for the new Star Trek movie, he would not die. In fact, he said that he was already talking about future Star Trek movies. Maybe they showed the ending in which he died to just drum up some interest. (This is not my interpertation of what he said (as far as the movie's ending goes), he said in no uncertain terms that he would not die).
