"Story by Alan Dean Foster and Gene Roddenberry"? It must have been done before the credits were finalized, because Roddenberry turned down the co-story credit (as per Harold Livingston, if Roddenberry couldn't get a screenplay credit he didn't want anything). Yes, that was just a teaser poster. Posters sometimes go through many iterations while a film is in pre- and post-production. Here's an even earlier pre-release poster, with no story credits and Roddenberry given co-screenwriting credit. In this first poster, Persis Khambatta's credit reads "Also Starring Persis Khambatta" and appears last, following the rest of the "Co-starring" cast. In the second poster, Roddenberry's co-screenwriting credit is dropped and he is given co-story credit instead. The second poster changes Persis Khambatta's credit to "Presenting Persis Khambatta", and moves it up to fourth position, after De Forest Kelly's credit. Stephen Collins, on the other hand, is bumped from fourth position to last. This next "Advance" poster is closer to the final one, dropping Roddenberry's co-story credit. The tag line is changed, and credits are added for the soundtrack, book tie-in, and Dolby Stereo process. Persis Khambatta's "Presenting" credit is moved back behind the rest of the cast again, but before Stephen Collins, who is still listed dead last, but given a "Starring" credit to make up for it. And here's the final release poster, which changes the film's tag line back to the earlier one, and adds the MPAA rating.

Charles posted the THEM shot I wanted, but here's another one Mr. Nimoy would probably good-naturedly chuckle over from time to time: Nils

Sad news indeed. I became a Trekker basically from THE NEXT GENERATION onwards, but TOS was (and is) of course something very special, and there's no doubt that Nimoy/Spock is the most iconic and influential figure in Trekdom, probably even more so than Shatner/Kirk. There is some small consolation in the fact that Nimoy was able to pursue his activities (acting, photography, writing..) almost up tp the very end. May he rest in peace.
