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.

You sound extremely elitist atm, sure many blockbuster movies are horrible but there are a number which are fairly good and retain a good story. Jurassic Park, Batman Begins, the first 2 spiderman movies, Lord of the Rings, the original Star Wars trilogy, Terminator 1 and 2, E.T., Close encounters of the third kind, Casino Royale, need I go on? These are all excellent blockbuster films imo.
