Waikato Times posted a new interview with actor Karl Urban, who plays the new Leonard "Bones" McCoy in J.J. Abrams upcoming Star Trek prequel movie. Here are few excerpts of the article.
"The essence of what (the late Star Trek creator) Gene Rodenberry created is worth pursuing," Urban says. "With the kind of advances with story telling technology there's a lot more we are capable of doing these days. I think that since it's been 17 years since Star Trek has been on the big screen. It's the perfect time to bring it back and show these characters in their early years and get a bit of a back story.
"To be part of a new wave or revival of the old Star Trek is just a really fantastic experience."
Regarding the late Deforest Kelley, Urban said "I guess in terms of the qualities Kelley bought to the role, what I really respond to is his sense of irascibility with a real passion for life and doing the right thing, which was a great thing for Kirk. We would have Spock's logic and McCoy's moral standing which gave Kirk the benefit of having three brains instead of just one.
"I am very thankful to have had such a legacy of work to look at. It was really wonderful having Leonard Nimoy in the film. He would not have been in it, and given the film his blessing if he did not think it was a worthy project. We were very privileged to have him."
While Urban is yet to see a rough cut of the film, he says it will have the Star Trek feel while being like nothing fans have seen before.
"If you were watching the 60s TV series it would be like you were listening to it on the radio before and now you are going to see it in high definition."
