On the 50th anniversary of the premiere of the original Star Trek TV series, Cinema Detroit is proud to present For the Love of Spock, a personal, intimate look at the life and career of Leonard Nimoy, and his alter-ego Mr. Spock, as told by his son Adam Nimoy.
The film began as a celebration of the anniversary of “Star Trek: The Original Series,” but after Nimoy passed away in February 2015, his son was ready to tell another story: his personal experience growing up with Nimoy and Spock. Adam not only shares details on the creation, evolution, and universal impact of Mr. Spock, but also about the ups and downs of being the son of a TV icon.
For The Love Of Spock is laden with never-before-seen footage and interviews of friends, family and colleagues that include William Shatner and the original Star Trek cast, Zachary Quinto and the new crew of the Starship Enterprise, filmmaker JJ Abrams, and astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson.
