Exclusive: Simon Pegg Talks About Star Trek XII, Knows the Story, Says Fans Are Going to Love It

Features

By GustavoLeao / 11:46, 11 December 2011 / Star Trek: Nemesis

The Danish movie website Filmz was recently in Dubai to cover the world premiere of "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol". Amongst others, Filmz met Simon Pegg and couldn't resist asking about Star Trek XII, and we've been offered these early excerpts from the interview exclusively at TrekWeb. Interview : Johan Albrechtsen

JOHAN ALBRECHTSEN: Another thing that's obviously totally "hush hush" is 'Star Trek 2', and it's probably way too early to talk about the story and you haven't seen a script yet...


SIMON PEGG: I haven't seen a script yet. I do know the story, though. I know PART of the story, but we haven't seen a script yet. We're gonna see it soon. I think next week.

JA: Speaking as a Trekkie to a fellow Trekkie, do you think fans will dig the story?

SP: Absolutely. It's more of what we love as Star Trek fans, you know. What's not to love?

JA: Is there anything you'd like to see happen with Scotty? I mean, in the first one you got to say "I'm giving it all she's got Captain," so you gotta get a "I cannot change the laws of physics in there", right?

SP: That's a nice one, that's a classic. I hope these great, sort of classic lines... Er, but if they're used, the have to be done properly for the right situation and not just be done as a sly wink. I'd like to see Scotty having more physical relations with Orion slave girls.

After the interview Filmz asked about the latest info regarding the start of the shoot, and apparently Pegg was aiming at getting in front of the camera sometime in January. Unfortunately, Filmz' reporter wasn't able to yank out the title for the sequel from its producer, Bryan Burk, who was also in Dubai to promote "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol". He only let slip "Oh, we're not calling it 'Star Trek 2' anymore, just..." before he realized what he was about to reveal. As McCoy would probably say: Damn it, Bryan!

TrekWeb wish to thank journalist Johan Albrechtsen of the  Filmz website for this exclusive interview.

Man, is Pegg lucky. But I don't trust him. He is the ultimate fanboy-got-lucky, but he seems sort of like a sell-out. He used to bash stuff like this on his Spaced show, and now he supports it.

But, shoot, if I was offered an iconic role in a new Star Trek movie, I'd be a sell-out as well.

And as always, I am cautiously optimistic about the new Star Trek movie.

Scotty Taking Command | Report this post to moderator

It would be cool to see Scotty taking command of the bridge when Kirk and Spock are on an away mission, like in the Original Series. Scotty was portrayed as a very competent leader, but we never got to see that in the movies. Even in "Relics" he relinquished command of the Jenolan to Geordi, though with good reason. Scotty is the engineer of engineers, afterall.

There once was a man named Scorned,

whose posts were more offensive than porn.

He posted one too many,

got kicked out on his fanny,

and all the while he had been warned.
