Patrick Stewart Looking Forward to New Star Trek Movie

Features

By GustavoLeao / 18:19, 13 May 2008 / Feature Films

Entertainment Weekly posted a new interview with Star Trek The Next Generation star Patrick Stewart, in which he talks about his Tony Award nomination for Macbeth and speaks briefly about the upcoming Star Trek prequel movie. Here are excerpts from the interview.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Congratulations on your Tony nomination. When did you hear the news?

PATRICK STEWART:
Thank you very much! I was watching television.


I was surprised to realize this is actually your first time being nominated for a Tony. Are you surprised it's taken this long?


There have been a couple of disappointments in the past, yeah. But I'm not surprised. At awards time, you just have got to be as philosophical as possible. I've won, I've lost, I've been ignored, you know - I've run the whole gamut of experiences of awards! But this morning is a very, very special morning. It's always been a dream of mine to have a Tony nomination. It is the premier theater award, and for English actors, of course, it has a very special meaning.

What else do you have coming up? Any other projects in the works?

I do. I have an absolutely spine-tingling, awesome theater project that will happen next February when Hamlet is finished. But I cannot tell you what it is, because there's been no announcement yet. But I tell you, every time I think about it I get goosebumps.

Are you looking forward to seeing the new Star Trek film that's coming out next year?

Oh, I am! Yes, looking forward to it very much. And I know nothing about it.


Have the producers of that film been in touch with you at all?


No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It has nothing to do with The Next Generation at all.


The full interview is here.

Shame you're not giving Spock a lift on the E, Pat...

Then again, there is still a year for reshoots, JJ...

Congratulations on your Tony nod, Patrick! You are more than deserving of a win, however. Best wishes.

I hope old Spock brings up Capt. Picard's name in the movie! BTW, Patrick, the movie is suppose to start in the TNG era right after NEM (if the sources are correct). Would love to see the 1701-E one last time on screen :)

"Life's tough. It's tougher if you're stupid." -- John Wayne



"In the counsels of Government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the Military Industrial Complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals so that security and liberty may prosper together." --Dright D. Eisenhower Farewell Address, 1961



"Frank O'Connor, the Irish writer, tells in one of his books how, as a boy, he and his friends would make their way across the countryside, and when they came to an orchard wall that seemed too high and too doubtful to try and too difficult to permit their voyage to continue, they took off their hats and tossed them over the wall--and then they had no choice but to follow them. This Nation has tossed its cap over the wall of space, and we have no choice but to follow it. Whatever the difficulties, they will be overcome. Whatever the hazards, they must be guarded against...."

" -- John F. Kennedy 21 November, 1963
