SPACED OUT?- Reports have it that Eddie Murphy will provide comic relief in 'Star Trek IV'- but the most that director Leonard Nimoy will concede is "I'll admit to the fact that Eddie Murphy has said he's a great Star Trek fan." The next plot line, as related by insiders: A convenient time-travel twist allows the Start Trek team to save the enterprise (It was blown to smithereens in 'Start Trek III'), which journeys to Earth circa 1990 and has a close encounter with Murphy - portraying himself. In other interviews, Nimoy has said 'Star Trek IV' will "lighten up and have some fun," but he denied the storyline rumors - amidst gales of laughter in his Paramount office: "Our storyline will pick up almost exactly where 'Start Trek III' left off... though our crew will need a ship." Murphy, under exclusive contract to Paramount dosn't have a movie yet to follow the monster success of 'Beverly Hills Cop', but Nimoy added: "I doubt there's a film on this lot that wouldn't like to employ the talents of Eddie Murphy. But we haven't discussed casting yet, just characterizations." Looks interesting!! >>Dave
