Karl Urban on His Favorite TOS Episodes, Says Fans Will Be Happy with Movie

Features

By GustavoLeao / 05:24, 18 July 2008 / Feature Films

The latest issue of SFX magazine, just out in the UK, features a new interview with actor Karl Urban, the new Leonard McCoy from J.J. Abrams Star Trek prequel movie. Here are few excerpts, courtesy of Sci Fi Pulse.

What are your favourite Trek episodes?


"‘The Corbomite Maneuver'. It has a great McGuffin. And ‘Amok Time'. It's about the relationship between Kirk, Spock and McCoy, you get to see some of the Vulcan culture and I like how Bones saves the day."


Will the movie appeal to both newcomers and hardcore Trek fans?


"Longtime fans will be really happy with it. It will introduce Star Trek to a new demographic... it's just so faithful to the original character archetypes. It's going to be like the Star Trek that you know and, at the same time, like nothing you have ever seen before."

More from Urban on the McCoy character can be found at Sci Fi Pulse.

Part of me wishes that he would have selected Spock's Brain or The Way to Eden, just to see the responses some people on here would have given. Would have been gold... GOLD I tells ya!

But Quinto really looks like Spock, which is cool. In fact, if you wanted to draw Spock for a comic book, you could use either he or Nimoy as the template and the result would be the same. :)

Corbomite Maneuver and Amok Time are two of the greatest Star Trek episodes of all time. Great character stuff.
