In his speach at the Creation Con in LA this weekend, Mr. Nimoy did not
provide any concrete details on the plot of STIV except that the story
would begin where STIII left off, thus completing the "Wrath of Khan"
trilogy and leaving the slate clean for future stories.  He said that
filming would begin in February for a December '86 release date, and the
the first draft of the script (by two writers whose names I can't
recall) was presently being rewritten by Nicholos Meyer and Harve
Bennett. (The best news I've heard so far.)

However, his answers to questions ranged from "that's certainly
possible"s that sounded like "Yes"s to "that could be"s that sounded
like "No"s.

In my opinion (which does not reflect in any way official information or
the Star Trek Welcommittee's views) Nimoy indicated that: 1) the story
involved time travel, 2) Sarek and Amanda would be back, 3) while the
Bird of Prey would be involved, the Enterprise would come back, 4)
Kirstie Alley would not return as Saavik.

No one, in either question and answer session, asked him if Eddie Murphy
would be in the film!
