LA.com posted a brief interview with actor Clifton Collins, who plays Ayel, the Romulan cohort and general to Nero, played by Eric Bana in J.J. Abrams Star Trek movie. Here are few excerpts of the article.

"He's totally reinvented the whole thing and taken the cheese out of it," says Collins about Abrams  "I tried to watch some of the old ‘Star Treks' and with all due respect, they were probably cool at the time, but I couldn't watch them."

"This is the real deal.  It's just got a lot of reality.  It's not corny at all." he said regarding the new movie.

Collins confirmed that he and actor Eric Bana portray Romulans in the film.  "I can't tell you too much, but me and Eric are some real bad dudes," he said.
