The latest issue of Empire Magazine, out in the US, also features brief interviews with Star Trek stars Zachary Quinto and Chris Pine and here are excerpts courtesy of TrekMovie.com
Zachary Quinto on Spock: "I really relate to the duality of his perspective. I think all the things that Spock is known for - the logic versus the emotion, the human versus the alien - are at the core of his journey in this film. I think he's less refined in his capacity to deal with them."
Chris Pine on Kirk: "Kirk is the bombastic, emotional, charged, angry, vulnerable guy - he gets to show all sides at 100 per cent full throttle. He's all over the place. To steal a line from this election, he's a maverick."
The original report, plus quotes from director J.J. Abrams, can be found at TrekMovie.
