Leonard Nimoy's Son Seeks Help With Spock Documentary, and Time Is Running Out ~ amazing movies

"Star Trek" icon Leonard Nimoy died this past February 27, and his son Adam is now fighting for the Spock doc they both wanted to live long and prosper.

The documentary, called "For the Love of Spock," has a Kickstarter page with a goal of $600,000. So far, 6,830 backers have pledged just under $490,000. The project will only be funded, it states, if $600K is pledged by Wednesday, July 1. That's less than a week away, so time is running out. Part of the deadline is due to the goal that both Adam and his father had of releasing the doc in time for the 50th anniversary of the original "Star Trek" series in 2016.

Here's Adam's description of how the campaign started:

Last year, just before Thanksgiving, I approached my dad, Leonard Nimoy, about the possibility of working together on a film about Mr. Spock. I had skimmed through some of the books on the making of Star Trek and felt there was so much more to explore about the birth and evolution of Spock. And the timing seemed right, as the 50th anniversary of Star Trek: The Original Series was not that far away. Dad agreed that now was the right time, and that he was 100% committed to collaborating with me on this project. He also reminded me that we were (then) just days away from the 50th anniversary of the start of production on "The Cage," the original pilot for Star Trek in which Dad first appeared as Mr. Spock.
Please participate in my Kickstarter campaign and help me complete a project that was important to my dad and has become extremely important to me.

Thanks again for your time and consideration.

In a video explaining his plans, Adam said he's already reached out to several key people in the "Star Trek" world who agreed to be featured on camera -- including William Shatner, George Takei and J.J. Abrams -- and modern Spock Zachary Quinto has agreed to narrate the movie.

Watch Adam's pitch for help and head to Kickstarter to get involved. (There are several cool rewards packages):
