Walter Koenig and Nichelle Nichols Talk Star Trek Movie at Scream 2007 Awards

Features

Comic Book Resources posted a brief interview with TOS actors Walter Koenig and Nichelle Nichols. Here are few excerpts from the article.

Speaking on the red carpet at Hollywood Scream 2007 Awards, Koenig admitted he was not familiar with actors cast in the roles of the young Enterprise crew, but he wishes Anton Yelchin (the new Chekov) and the rest of the cast the best. "I'm sure he'll be terrific," Koenig told CBR News. "I'm sure he'll make it his own and not have to answer to anybody."
 
Koenig also talked about reprising his role as Bester in Babylon 5 DVD movies. "I know that Joe [Straczynski] has expressed an interest in having Bester back in one of the DVD films."

Nichols' involvement in Abrams' Star Trek prequel has been a little more hands on than Koenig's, having sat down and talked with Abrams about the project. "And I was just delighted that this young woman, Zoe Saldana, has been chosen for the young Uhura, and I'm really looking forward to it," said Nichols.

Honorary Scream Awards were bestowed upon original "Star Trek" cast members William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, George Takei, Koenig and Nichols, commemorating the 25 th anniversary of the release of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

I know exactly what you mean.


I'd hoped Uhura would be cast with someone like Genevieve Nnaji, a gorgeous native Nigerian who has won the African Movie Academy award for Best Actress (plus she enjoys singing)...
