The SFX website posted a few more quotes from their interview with Star Trek star Zachary Quinto, which did not appear in their latest issue. Here is an excerpt.

SFX: Can you tell us anything about the plot of Star Trek just so we can get a flavour of what you've been up to?

Zachary Quinto: "I can't talk about any specifics. There are certain things that have become known: this is sort of an origin story, we're meeting these characters in a new way and getting to know them in a different way to the way we got to know them in the series, which is exciting. You know it's done with a great amount of respect and, in certain aspects, homage to the series that came before. It's going to really straddle the two worlds that exist in the sci-fi community - people who have been long-time die-hard Star Trek fans since the late '60s and also people who might not have experienced the original series but may have seen the later series. And I think this is really going to unify those people: and on top of that, invite a whole new audience to be a part of the journey of these characters!"

"So for me it came down to a question of showing up to work and living in the moment, really tracking where those moments lead this character through this story. And the rest of it, the perception and the comparisons, the collective support of me playing this character... they're things I have no control over, so I don't really find it worth channelling my energy into them. That would only ultimately lead to a place of dissipation and frustration. I focus on the work: that's what I know how to do."
