Known for a true gambit of film types and genres, Rachel Weisz has been everything from Mummy hunter to rumored Bond Girl in the next Danial Craig, James Bond film.  She's also slated to play the former First Lady in a Jackie O. biopic.  According to an interview with Collider.com, Rachel has a healthy interest in possibly starring in the next J.J. Abrams's installment of "Star Trek".  To us, that sounds like an interesting prospect.  Just one word of advice when mentioning our favorite Vulcan though; drop the "Dr." from "Dr. Spock".  

Collider: Anything potentially on the horizon that you’re looking at, you’re like, “You know what?  I would love to do that series.” Like all these different comic book adaptations that are happening.  That you go-

RW: Yeah.  You know what?  I loved Star Trek. I mean, I couldn’t even believe how great, I meant to write (Star Trek director) J.J. Abrams a letter.  I haven’t written it yet, though.  I just thought- Didn’t you think it was tremendous?

Collider: Yeah.

RW: I just thought it was tremendous.

Collider: And it worked on several different levels.  It worked, not just artistically, but also commercially.  And it was accessible to people who weren’t necessarily fans of (the series).

RW: And I’m not a Trekkie.  I mean, (Weisz’s longtime fiancé) Darren (Aronofsky) took me thinking, he says, “You’re gonna hate this.”  Cause I didn’t grow up watching Star Trek.  I mean, I, Dr. Spock, I mean, I vaguely know.  But, I loved it.  I absolutely—I thought the acting was just phenomenal.  Really, really great.  So, yeah!  No, I’m totally open to doing a big, big blockbuster.

Collider: Would you enter in and put your name in the hat for the Star Trek sequel?

RW: Me?  I would LOVE to be in the Star Trek sequel!  Yeah!  I would love to!  I better write that letter to J.J.

Collider: Yeah, start crafting it now.  I mean-

RW: Yeah, I would love to.  No, I was really, wildly impressed by that.  I thought it was an incredible piece of work.  Yeah.  It just had such a freshness and the acting was, the acting blew me away.
