Zachary Quinto, who portrayed the Spock character in last two Star Trek films, will narrate the documentary.
David Zappone, the owner and president of Paramount-based 455 Films, will produce the documentary.
"This will be a tribute to my dad and Spock. We have plenty to work from because my dad loved telling stories and he was very fond of the role," Adam said. He said that he and his father began discussing the project several months ago and agreed that it should focus on the enduring nature of Spock and Mr Nimoy's portrayal of the relentlessly logical human-alien first officer of the Starship Enterprise.
