The latest issue of Starburst Magazine, just out in the UK, features an interview with actor John Cho, the new Sulu in J.J. Abrams Star Trek movie. Here are few excerpts, cortesy of Sci Fi Pulse.

Regarding the new movie, Cho said "I don't mean to be vague but what I can say is honest which is that I think, myself and everyone else on the film, J.J. and the designers, I think we are trying to be respectful of the Original Series and we're also trying to get some new fans, do things differently and put a younger, more vigorous spin on it."

As to the change in release date - the actor is upbeat. "I think it's great. I was kind of attached to the Christmas day release because my family and I we used to go see movies on Christmas day so I was excited about that but, I think it probably is a summer movie and it's sold as a summer movie".

More from Cho can be found at Sci Fi Pulse.

The full article can be found on the latest issue of Starburst Magazine, now on sale.

Cinemas would actually be open? I thought the date effectively meant 26 Dec?

Was a strange decision. May is better.

Yeah, we all know "The movie is being made for fans and non-fans of the series", DUH! How long until we get something new? Like a trailer? Or a tit shot of Uhura?

    "I would be happy for Star Trek to come along decades later with a new group of minds. I'd love someone to say, 'Besides this one, Gene Roddenberry's was nothing!'" - Gene Roddenberry

    "...I think it would be wonderful years from now to see Star Trek come back with an equally talented new cast playing Spock and Kirk and Bones and Scotty and all the rest, as they say tomorrow's things to tomorrow's generations..." - Gene Roddenberry

    I guess we will see the first photos around the Comic Con event. And a trailer could be released sooner than expected, since Abrams already screened a lot of footage to AICN.
