NewsOk.com posted a new interview with Star Trek actress Nichelle Nichols, in which she talks about TOS and the new Star Trek movie. Here are few excerpts.
Q:There's a lot of overlap between "Heroes" and "Star Trek," because of you and George Takei having roles on the show, the frequent mentions of "Star Trek" on the show and now Zachary Quinto (Sylar on "Heroes") is going to be in the new movie.
A:He's playing Spock. I had seen his character, and I thought, "My God, he's such a handsome young man, how is he going to play (Spock)?" He's such a macho-looking guy on the screen, and then I saw him at a convention and I guess he had cut his hair, and I said, "My God, he is Spock."
Q:There is definitely a resemblance.
A:Yes indeed, oh yes indeed! But when he had all that hair, I didn't see it. I said, "What are they trying to do, glamorize Spock?" It was really funny.
Q:What was your reaction when you heard there was going to be another "Star Trek" film and that it was going to be a prequel to the original series?
A:My attitude has always been about the subsequent "Star
Trek" spinoffs, that we are no longer doing it, that this is a vast universe and there's room for everybody. And if the thought is well thought out and creative and does not mar/jar what Gene (Roddenberry, creator of "Star Trek") created, then I'm all for it. God bless them.
Q:What did you think of J.J. Abrams (creator of ABC's "Lost" and director of the new "Star Trek" movie)?
A:He did me the courtesy and respect of asking me to come and have lunch with him, and come on set, and could he pick my brain, and he wanted me to meet the young woman (Zoe Saldana) who was to play (Uhura). ... And I thought that was so classy. And then I think he got together with the other people (original "Star Trek" cast). Because everybody wanted to be in it, you know. And I think he was probably thinking about it. But he really wanted to make his statement, his movie. And this is his movie. And I just can't wait for it to come out to see how well it will be. I think it's going to be wonderful; I hope so anyway.
Q:What advice did Abrams seek?
A:I think I will keep that to myself.
Q:When you met Zoe Saldana, what was that like?
A:She is so beautiful. She didn't know I was going to be there, and she was not supposed to be working that day, as I recall. And J.J. had her come in ... and she walked in and looked around and said hi, then stopped dead, turned back and looked at me and said, "No way!" It was just beautiful. And she came over, and she was like, "Are you you? Are you you?" And we sat and talked, and J.J. came over beaming with red cheeks. And we talked for about 40 minutes more, just she and I, and it was lovely. It really was kind of like deja vu all over again.

A day earlier, NewOK.com also posted a Q&A with Walter Koenig...
OK: When you got the Chekov role, what did you think of the part?
WK: I thought, "Well, here's a few days of work, and a character that might recur." I wasn't under contract; I was at the mercy strictly of the writers and producers... Alas, because the role did not grow, particularly during the first year, I questioned whether it was something that I wanted to continue doing. My wife, in fact, told me that I was nuts if I did not wish to continue. Of course, she was totally right, because it's ended up shaping not only my career but my life.
