The Star Trek scenes that never made the movie - статейка о том что вырезали из конечной версии 11-ого "Трека"...

In the version released in cinemas, Spock encounters his older version (called Spock Prime in the screenplay) in a hangar and discovers that Ambassador Spock is departing to help establish a new colony for the surviving Vulcans.

Quinto's Spock says he wants to leave Starfleet and help set up the colony but Ambassador Spock says younger Spock and Kirk need each other and so younger Spock remains in Starfleet, becoming first officer under Kirk's command.

But in the sсript, Nimoy's version hands Quinto's Spock a locket that contains a holographic video of William Shatner's Kirk singing happy birthday to older Spock and congratulating him on becoming an ambassador.

In the message, older Kirk says he and Spock should get back together one more time with a starship and just explore. This instead provides the motivation for the young Spock to stay behind with the young Kirk.

TNMC sсript reviewer Harry Barber says: "It's a nice idea but I can see any number of reasons it was cut like pacing, being overly sentimental, Shatner not being interested or simply recognising that by this point in the movie this new version of old favorites have earned the right to stand on their own.

"Whatever the case I think the movie is just fine without it. Better even. They are rebooting Trek here. Leaning too much on the old Trek is just a sign of weakness. Leaving this out is a sign of confidence." (ц)

Вот это да.
