Leonard Nimoy Stuns Texas Trekkies - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 04-07-2009, 11:08 AM

While a world of Trekkers believed the new J.J. Abrams Star Trek would premiere in Sydney, Australia Tuesday, Leonard Nimoy made a surprise appearance in Austin, Texas Monday night to screen the film for an unsuspecting audience.

A theater full of Trek fans showed up in the Texas capital thinking they were going to see a new print of the classic Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and 10 minutes of Abrams' reboot, all organized by Ain't It Cool News. But, Nimoy shocked the house by announcing they would in fact see the entire new movie just hours before it made its international bow in Sydney.

The early fan reviews on Twitter are running almost entirely positive so far.

When I read the thread title, I thought he pulled a phaser on them and well...

Either that or he exposed himself in public. Either way, it would have been...stunning.

Whew!
