Simon Pegg Talks Star Trek XII Rumors, Hopes to Start Filming This Time Next Year

Features

By GustavoLeao / 03:23, 30 June 2009 / Star Trek: Nemesis

BreakingNews.ie posted a brief interview with Star Trek movie actor Simon Pegg (Scotty) and here is an excerpt

Regarding the upcoming Star Trek XII sequel, he said "I know the writers are busy thinking about it. I don't really know anything about the story, or if I'm in a bigger role, but I'd imagine we'll be back this time next year. That's not official, but I reckon it's probably about 18 months away from being in the cinema."
 
The full interview is here.

USA Today also posted an interview with Pegg and here are excerpts.

Regarding Star Trek and Ice Age, he said "Both of those films are hugely ensemble-driven, and it just so happens" that I'm in them, he says. "If they were my movies, driven entirely by me, then maybe I'd feel a bit full of myself. But I have no illusions about the fact that it's purely coincidence. It's not me. I'm just along for the ride."

Turn the bridge over to Scotty ... | Report this post to moderator

If it was up to me, I'd turn the bridge over to Scotty at some point in the movie like they used to on The Original Series. While Spock and Kirk are off facing some crisis, leave Scotty in command!

More of Scotty..? | Report this post to moderator

I think we'd almost HAVE to see more of Scotty, considering that in ST he was the last of the core characters to be introduced (halfway or so though the movie?) and once you got past his necessary exposition, almost as soon as he was on the 1701 he had basically three scenes:
1. water coolant pipes (no dialogue, just a fun/action piece)
2. bridge with Kirk and Spock (next to no dialogue)
3. the must-have 'Scotty in the engine room' piece

Surely the next movie would thus have to give him a presence from the get-go, more interaction with the rest of the crew and being more part of the team in whatever situation they find themselves in.

But me, I want some more of Karl Urban's totally brilliant McCoy, especially sizing up against Spock and Kirk as part of that famous Trek Trinity.

18 months? or 24 months? | Report this post to moderator

regardless of when the movie is finished, I think they'll release it in the summer again, not around Christmas.
