Looks like I need to spend more time watching the updates from The Alamo Drafthouse theaters. I would TOTALLY have gone to see Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan on the big screen again! Much more so for the experience these fortunate folks enjoyed!

While a world of Trekkers believed the new J.J. Abrams Star Trek would premiere in Sydney, Australia Tuesday, Leonard Nimoy made a surprise appearance in Austin, Texas Monday night to screen the film for an unsuspecting audience.

A theater full of Trek fans showed up in the Texas capital thinking they were going to see a new print of the classic Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and 10 minutes of Abrams reboot, all organized by Aint It Cool News. But, Nimoy shocked the house by announcing they would in fact see the entire new movie just hours before it made its international bow in Sydney.
