CineFools.com posted a new interview with Star Trek stars Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto and here are few excerpts.
PJ- so how interaction did you have with the Star trek Fan base and community obviously because it's so deep and so much involved did you have fans sending emails .
CP-they invited a president of the US fan club and they reached out and certainly JJ and the team reached out to the fan base
ZQ-It was done with a real regard for the investment that so many millions of people of the world have made in the past 40 years definitely. That didn't necessarily translate for us personally our process was so much more about the task at hand and about immersing ourselves in the world of this particular generation of the franchise. But now as we travel around and as we are sharing it with people we have the opportunity to engage with fans in a much more direct way which is always exciting. I've been really. It's been a marked, supportive kind of enthusiastic energy for the most part and that was really nice.
BG-This really does scream Franchise. I wanted to see more the second I left the cinema. Are you guys signed on to a number of Star treks? Are we going to see 3 or 4?
ZQ-Well the hope is for. Well for Chris and I and everybody else that here on this trip. We are here because this is the first one and it hasn't even come out yet except for a few thousand people last night in here and Austin where they had a surprise screening which I thought was really fun and cool and very JJ. But they hope is we will. We all signed on for the option and if Paramount want to do more we all want to be involved in the next 2 if there are more. We'll see but we are pacing ourselves. At the end of the night last night we all went out for dinner after the premiere and I was like "okay that was awesome like let's go home!!" just because it was such a full day. It was like a whole day of press and this whole event, The opera house and the lights and the people and it felt like how could this sustainable for a month and a half But we are just getting started. I think that's really key. I think we really want to engage people about this movie and use the sense of excitement about this one before we get too far ahead of ourselves.
OF-the previous star trek franchises and all its different arms have very involved fan bases with the conventions and things like that. How do you guys feel personally about part of it and what expectations do you have of that going onto the future.
ZQ-I have actually done a couple of conventions and it a natural progression because there is conventions that go on the work I've done with Heroes in the states. I think I've done 3 convention and 2 of them with Leonard and for me that was great. People were cool. It was really fun to have him by my side which was all the more enjoyable. My goal as an actor is to really diversify my career now. This and heroes have put me in a position to really be able to do some other stuff as well. But I am sure that over the years we'll hang out and do some conventions Chris.
CP- Sure thing Zach...yeah I feel that the closest I have come is
wonder con in San Francisco. maybe 3 or 4 weeks ago and....
ZQ-nothing like a Star Trek convention.
CP-Yeah ...I am absolutely willing to do it and I think this again in talking about the community of the star trek fans. It's a unique experience this world and all of us realize how important it is to continue that connection and foster that relationship and grow a hopefully new generation of fans but like Zach I am an actor who craves diversity in as mush as I love playing James Kirk I am sure I'll love playing and exploring different roles and characters as well. If I could have the longevity of Mr Shatner I'd be a happy man.
