MTV just posted an exclusive interview with Star Trek movie actor Anton Yelchin, the new Pavel Chekov. Here are few excerpts.
But contrary to rampant rumors, the prequel won't be bringing back other original stars to give us multiple Captain Kirks, Uhuras or Sulus. "No," he revealed. "That's the only one."
About the change of the release date to May 2009, he said "I'm fine with that. ... [May] is the start of a bigger season for these types of large-scale films. Now that the writers' strike is finished, there's a little less pressure, and we can take our time with it."
Asked which scene he is most eager to watch on the big screen, Yelchin said. "The end, when you see us all together," he said of a pivotal moment that unites Chekov, Spock, Kirk (Chris Pine), McCoy (Karl Urban) and the rest of the iconic "Trek" crew members. "I can't explain how you get to see us all together, but it's pretty epic. ... You're on the Enterprise, and you just know it feels so epic. We shot the last scene in the film, and you see everyone in the gold, and the blue, and the red."
More from Yelchin (plus a video interview) can be found at MTV
UPDATE : MTV Movie Blog posted an update on their interview with Yelchin. Here are few excerpts.
"[Classic ‘Trek'] is dated, and that's what makes it great," explained Yelchin. "But at the same time, we are making a big fat action film."
Regarding Tyler Perry's role in the movie, he said "Tyler Perry is in the Federation," explained the new Chekov. "He's one of the Federation captain officials, of sorts. I can't spoil what happens, but he's an official in the Federation."
"It's a sci-fi action film. Knowing nothing about ‘Star Trek,' and going in and reading the script, I was totally fine. I thought it was great, and really interesting, and a lot of fun to read. Obviously, there are special [in-joke] perks if you've been a ‘Star Trek' fan for 40 years. But I hope that anyone would go and see this film, knowing that it's gonna be an action movie."
The full interview (plus a video interview) is here.
