“And now, suddenly, here I am with the Roddenberry Foundation putting on the best set of ears you can possibly imagine.” Digitally restoring a 57-year-old pilot “The kid inside me had always dreamed of being Spock,” says actor Lawrence Selleck, who performs as Spock in the Roddenberry Archive’s restoration. Now, the Roddenberry Archive is using similar effects to give audiences a like-new performance of Leonard Nimoy as Spock-if only inside the virtual world of a video game. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story famously used such effects to replicate the late Peter Cushing’s performance as Grand Moff Tarkin. Visual effects that include virtual “performances” by deceased actors, or that drastically de-age those still alive, are becoming commonplace. Enterprise could soon be a place you can visit-complete with some of the original cast.
