As reported on IESB.net, some of the cast from the new J.J. Abrams film 'Star Trek' Attended a press conference over the weekend. In attendance were Zachary Quinto, Leonard Nimoy, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban and Bruce Greenwood.
Q: Mr. Nimoy, you had a chance to appear in Star Trek: The Next Generation, but that didn’t work out. Why was this the ideal chance to bridge the old Star Trek with the new Star Trek? Leonard: The makers of this film re-awakened the passion in me that I had when we made the original film and series. I was put back in touch with what I cared about and liked about Star Trek, and why I enjoyed being involved with Star Trek. So, it was an easy way to come on home. Q: So, other opportunities did not spark that passion? Leonard: It went off in a direction that I didn’t relate to very well. That’s the simplest way to put it. With this, they said things and showed me things, and demonstrated the sensibility that I felt very comfortable with, and I think that shows in the movie. I like it. Q: Zach, when you were young, did people tell you that you looked like Spock? Zachary: No, I never really heard it, although I certainly was sporting a Spock bowl cut when I was 12. I have pictures to prove it. I might dig them out, at some point.
