ComicBookMovie posted an exclusive interview with Star Trek XII actor (and possible villain) Joseph Gatt (who played a villain in Thor) and here is an excerpt

MJ: You have an as yet undisclosed role in one of 2013's biggest movies, the Star Trek sequel from J.J. Abrams. What can you say, if anything, about that project?

Gatt: [Smiles] Not much! But I can say that I don't wear a RedShirt and this is going to be one hell of a movie [laughs]! J.J. and his team are very big on secrecy, and I fully understand why. The best way for the fans to enjoy a movie like this, is to enter the theatre without conception of whats going to happen and just enjoy the ride... surprises and all! And I fully advocate that! Everybody feels the need to know everything before they ever see it. Where's the fun in that? Speculation and tease are great... but the fun is in the unknowing. I can't even stand it when TV shows have those damned previews of the next episode right before the end credits! It drives me insane. I have to snatch the remote and press delete before I see ANYTHING that might give any plot points away!

MJ: Are you playing a bad guy again?

Gatt: Hmmmm......

MJ:What was it like working with Abrams and the rest of the cast?

Gatt: It was a dream gig working with such passionate and talented people! J.J. is so amazing in so many respects. The main, is that he is just so full of passion and energy for his work! The next is that he LOVES it so much that he surrounds himself with only the most amazing people who believe in the work as much as he does. This means, no matter how long the day, or how hard the shot, no one grumbles and everyone pulls together to make it work! And I can testify, that there were some VERY long days and some VERY tough shots [Smiles].

The cast were all awesome. Everyone from the leads down to the background all did great! Chris Pine, Zach, Zoe, Anton, John etc were very friendly to the new cast members. There was a very special camaraderie between them, but they welcomed us into their "house" and the Star Trek family expanded! After a week on set I felt like I'd made 3 movies with them. It was one big happy family on a mission to make a seriously great movie, but still have a ton of fun while doing it. J.J. even made a point of making sure, on some of those extra long days, that outside entertainment was brought in, to entertain the cast and crew during lunch and between shots!
