Blackfilm.com posted an exclusive interview with Star Trek actress Zoe Saldana, the new Uhura. Here are few excerpts.
What attracted you to the film?
Zoe Saldana: (Director) J.J. Abrams had expressed an interest in working with me and he had liked my work. For an actor, that's all you need. That's all you want. To get the acknowledgement and respect from your peers; and so I went out and met him. He then said, 'I don't need to see you anymore' and I felt really good. I felt like I did it. I earned it.
Were you a fan of the original series?
ZS: I never saw that. I was not a fan until now and I have so much admiration for what they did, and how much the series continues to grow after 45 years and I had the honor of meeting Nichelle Nichols and working with Leonard Nimoy and it was fantastic.
In working with Leonard Nimoy, did you pick up anything from him from the old series?
ZS: Well, you can only talk to Leonard for a little while. He's so awesome. There's not a lot I can say when I'm standing next to him. He's a legend.
