Leonard Nimoy had been dissatisfied with unpaid royalties from Star Trek (1966) and did not intend to reprise the role, so Spock was left out of the screenplay. Having been informed by his daughter and son-in-law that the film "would not be Star Trek" without Nimoy, Robert Wise sent Jeffrey Katzenberg to New York City to meet with Nimoy. Katzenberg gave Nimoy a check to make up for his lost royalties, and the actor attended the March 1978 press conference with the rest of the returning cast. Nimoy was dissatisfied with the script, and his meeting with Katzenberg lead to an agreement that the final script would need Nimoy's approval. Despite the financial issues, Nimoy said he was comfortable with being identified as Mr. Spock because this had a positive impact on his fame.
