Anton Yelchin Says Movie is an Origin Story, Talks New Enterprise - Minor Spoilers

Features

By GustavoLeao / 11:27, 22 February 2008 / Star Trek: Nemesis

Actor Anton Yelchin, the new Pavel Chekov from J.J. Abrams upcoming Star Trek prequel movie, is talking again, this time to the Chicago Sun-Times. Beware of spoilers.

"It is an origin story," he says. "It's really about how everyone's favorite characters ... got to the Enterprise. It's about how it all comes together. It's not just them arriving and saying, 'Let's just kick it on the Enterprise.' It's really an epic story full of different action and drama."

Regarding the new Enterprise NCC 1701, he says "The new Enterprise ship isn't straight out of the '60s. But they did take some '60s elements and keep them. The whole project is really a balance between the old series and the new film."

The original report is here.

Actually, he didn't say anything that was not already known. I find his comments not very revealing but comforting in some way. Sounds like it will be an interesting,solid mix between old and new star trek. Can't wait!!

The central question that emerges . . . is whether the White community in the South is entitled to take such measures as are necessary to prevail, politically and culturally, in areas in which it does not prevail numerically? The sobering answer is Yes – the White community is so entitled because, for the time being, it is the advanced race. -- the eminent conservative rag, National Review

If there is anything in this article that has not been said over and over again from everyone involved in the project, I've yet to find it. Care to enlighten me?

No doubt, JJ really needs to put this guy on a leash. Tomorrow we'll probably hear details on the uniforms!
