JoBlo.com posted a new interview with Star Trek movie actor Simon Pegg, the new Scotty. Here is an excerpt of the article.
For all those Star Trek fans out there who are worried about the film and where it might go, Pegg would like to put you at ease. "The people out there who are concerned have to understand that it is in the hands of someone who loves the franchise and you really couldn't have it better then that." As for working with Abrams he said he's "a machine...an engine of enthusiasm" adding, "it's great to have him working on the project."
The Deadbolt website also posted yet another interview with Pegg. Here are few excerpts.
About the Scotty role, he said "Well, I tried to make it brand new because I think it would be a disrespectful thing to James Doohan to go and just impersonate his Scotty. He took on the role as this physics genius and engineer in the great tradition of the Scottish because, of course, they invented a lot of important things in contemporary industrial society. I thought I'd go and approach it the same way he did, which was to start from scratch. So I tried not to watch - as much as I love the original series - I tried not to watch too much of it, because I wanted my performance to be a tribute to him and what he did with the character and not be an impression. It's a dangerous line you tread, really, because if I started doing an impression of Mr. Doohan then that might look like I was making fun of him, and that is the absolute last thing I would ever want. He's a legendary character and as an actor he genuinely created one of the most significant characters in modern sci-fi. It was daunting. It was like, ‘Sh*t, I'm going to be Scotty.' And I had to approach it very carefully."
"I'm looking forward to doing that for the next few years," he said. "Hopefully, I'll do a lot in between, too."

@ MovieOnline: Simon Pegg Interview
MoviesOnline: What was J.J. Abrams like?
SIMON PEGG: He's fantastic. He's one of the nicest human beings I've ever met. He's a fantastic director -- I mean seriously energized by enthusiasm. He's so driven by his enthusiasm which is enormous. And I can't think of a better person for this franchise to be in the hands of. As I've said before, if I was not in the film and I was the most rabid Star Trek fan -- you know, I love it very much but not as much as some people -- the person I would want to make the film is a fan of Star Trek and that is most certainly J.J.
