Walter Koenig Discusses His Career and J.J. Abrams' Star Trek Movie

Features

By GustavoLeao / 01:14, 13 October 2012 / Star Trek: Nemesis

Den of Geek posted a new interview with TOS actor Walter Koenig and here is an excerpt.

What are your thoughts on the JJ Abrams re-boot of Star Trek

I think it was great fun, a terrific adventure. I think they maintained their own identities while paying some homage to the original series, which was very nice. I’m not sure that they needed to do that, but it was very nice that they did, and I think they certainly ingratiated themselves with the fans by doing that. 

I thought the acting was stellar throughout. The young man who played Chekov was terrific. He’s already a movie star here. He’s had several features released in which he had the title role as a matter of fact, so it’s not our show and it shouldn’t be. It’s paced differently, it’s oriented, but it reflects this generation and this decade, and I think it’s a very appealing and very topical piece of film art.

The full interview is here.
