Aint It Cool News posted a new interview with Star Trek actor Simon Pegg, conducted at the recent Comic Con. Here are few excerpts.
Capone: You put it out there. Tell me what you can tell me [about Star Trek]. I'm sure it will be fine with everyone involved.
SP: Ah, there's so little I can tell you. I can only say what I have seen is really, really cool. I think J.J.[Abrams] was sensible to not just come here with nothing to show the fans. I think there was a consensus that, yes, STAR TREK was going to be here this year [neither the new STAR TREK movie nor Paramount had a panel at Comic-Con this year]. And J.J. made a point of not short changing anybody by just bringing in something that wasn't finished or doing another "Here's the cast" kind of thing. And I think it's just going to serve to make the anticipation greater. When he finally is ready to show something...I mean, I've seen a little bit and I was screaming. I had my hand over my mouth "Oh my God!" It's so good. I just think it's going to be huge.
Capone: Can you give me any insight into playing Scotty and how you played him?
SP: [...] Out of respect to James Doohan, and I'm on record as saying this so this is nothing new, I just approached it as any actor would with a character. I didn't look at James; I just looked at the character and said, "Okay, he's Scottish and he works in space and he's an engineer and he's a bit of a brawler. He likes to drink. And I approached it like that. It was easy to do because it was all there in the script. I was fortunate to have Chris Doohan be my assistant in one of the scenes in one of the rooms on the Starship Enterprise. Perhaps moving things around. [laughs]
[...] Chris is James Doohan's oldest son, and he contact me, and we hooked up. And it was really lovely to have him sit next to me so we could talk. And he plays one of the crew, and he told me loads of stories about hanging out with his dad on set. He was there when they were filming "The Trouble with Tribbles" and I think they apparently opened the little hatch where all the Tribbles were and send them spilling everywhere much to his father's consternation.
The full interview is here.

Quote from cdydatzigs:
And if he doesn't attend, I can imagine the firestorm on this website from the Shatnerbators blaming J.J. for alienating Shatner from "his own" franchise.
You're a mindless slave to unprovoked angst.
Hatred and idolization are two sides of a coin, so the pathetic comedy of you is that you're just the flip-side of "Shatnerbators."
