Don't mess with Spock's 'rents.

I'm going to assume that Variety is very confused. Otherwise I might kill JJ Abrams. It make a lot more sense to assume that the Variety writer is just a non-Trekkie who doesn't know about Spock, than to assume that JJ is going to throw canon completely out the window. Right? Dear God, please tell me I'm right. I just don't see him doing that.

I've read that elsewhere, which is very, very worrisome.

given Nimoy has signed on to the project, I would be *very* surprised if it turns out to be anything but a typo. Variety seems to be the source that the other articles. I'm betting they saw the reaction on the net and scrambled to catch up. None that I've seen actually cite official sources or quotes.

My icon is so delightfully appropriate now!

As much as this movie fills me with trepidation, I'm inclined to go with "Variety is clueless" on this count.

I think I'm missing something. The article currently says she's tapped to play his human mother. Was it edited?
