Zoe Saldana Says J.J. Abrams is Making the New Star Trek Movie for the Fans

Features

The latest issue of Star Trek Magazine, just out in the U.S., features a new interview with actress Zoe Saldana, who plays the new Uhura in J.J. Abrams Star Trek movie. Here is a few excerpts, courtesy of TrekMovie.

"[J.J.] understand that he's making a movie for the fans primarily." she told the magazine  "We always felt that as well. We always treated everything with so much respect. "Ok, how is this done?" There were things that were very appointed that we should not be tampering with and I needed to know specific details. Anyone like me can go and see this movie and be blown away regardless, because they're starting from the moment they walk in the theater. But for the fans, we're picking up where others left off. We needed to know how to do things in a way that won't change their history of Star Trek."

"Of course, I always knew about Star Trek, but I never got into it when I was younger. But now I enjoy it so much. I didn't want to watch episodes of the show [before we filmed the movie] because I was afraid of getting into a habit. I was stepping into the shoes of someone who already existed. Nichelle [Nichols] did such a wonderful job. I wanted to pick all the special things that will remind the fans of her." 

More from  Saldana on Star Trek and Uhura can be found at TrekMovie.

Forget Zoe. Just look at the cover of the magazine - cant wait to read this new Bill Shatner interview ! Bet he speaks about the new movie - and in a good, positive way.

Is this like a valentine for the fans? | Report this post to moderator

I have heard that before.

It's time to separate the weak from the chafed, the men from the boys, the awkwardly feminine from the possibly Canadian.

She's said something like this before and it confuses me. She didn't watch the old episodes before she started filming, then says she made sure to put little things in her performance that would remind fans of Nichelle's Uhura? How can you do one without the other? Maybe she means she didn't want to, but she broke down and DID watch some episodes?

You CAN'T be doing that. Because the FANS want Shatner. You're a liar just like Abrams.

Just thought I'd get the rantings of the lunatic fringe out of the way now.

"If this is your God, he's not very impressive. He has so many psychological problems; he's so insecure. He demands worship every seven days. He goes out and creates faulty Humans and then blames them for his own mistakes. He's a pretty poor excuse for a Supreme Being." ---Gene Roddenberry
