ReelzChannel.com posted an new interview with Star Trek actor John Cho, the new Hikaru Sulu. Here are few excerpts from the article.
"I think that myself and everyone else on set--J.J. and the designers--I think we try to emulate, be respectful of the original series," he explained. "And we're also trying to get some new fans, do things differently, and put a younger, more vigorous spin on it."
Cho has nothing but praise for J.J. Abrams as a director. "He is, I think, maybe one of the few geniuses I know," Cho said. "He seems to know everything about filmmaking."
The full interview is here.
AccessHollywood also posted a video interview with Cho, in which he talks about the movie secrecy and the internet fans, and compares Star Trek to Star Wars. Here is an excerpt.
"I kind of became became a Star Trek fan because it was on late and I would catch it on re-runs. It is something I appreciated more every year because it is a very mature show. It is a very thoughtful and meditative show. Whereas when I was a kid it was much easier to love something like [Star Wars] right off the bat, with the light sabers and stuff. Star Trek is much more mature than that."
"J.J. Abrams has a vision which is that, I think he just really, it's not any kind of malice, he just wants people to go into the theater and be surprised, which I think is fair," said Cho. "He wants people to come into the theater and enjoy everything for the first time instead of knowing A, B, and C as they walk in."
Regarding the fans seeking for news on the internet, Cho said "That's part of being a fan. I would want to know too, but I think he's [J.J. Abrams] correct in assuming that it enhances the viewing experience when you're surprised by everything."

UPDATE : MTV also posted a new interview with Cho. Here are excerpts.
"The shoot went great; it was just a dream," marveled Cho "It is really, explicitly living out a childhood fantasy. So, it was just about as good as it gets for me."
Cho asked the original Sulu, actor George Takei, a lot of questions "With George I was like ‘How is this going to change my life? How are you going to guide me through this process?'" he laughed. "Because there's only a handful of people who know what it's like to have been on that cast, and to have lived through what they lived through. I was just curious to know what was in store for me."

q & a with john cho @ angry asian man...
"I'm of the generation that dug Star Wars, and that was sort of my sci-fi thing. Star Trek was sort of a slow burn for me, because I would watch it on reruns whenever it was on. Over the years, I was like, this is a very interesting show. Things didn't get solved generally by beating somebody up. It was probably a bit of ingenuity and thinking that got the job done on that show."
