Simon Pegg Talks Star Trek XII Rumors, Hopes to Start Filming This Time Next Year

Features

By GustavoLeao / 03:23, 30 June 2009 / Star Trek: Nemesis

BreakingNews.ie posted a brief interview with Star Trek movie actor Simon Pegg (Scotty) and here is an excerpt

Regarding the upcoming Star Trek XII sequel, he said "I know the writers are busy thinking about it. I don't really know anything about the story, or if I'm in a bigger role, but I'd imagine we'll be back this time next year. That's not official, but I reckon it's probably about 18 months away from being in the cinema."
 
The full interview is here.

USA Today also posted an interview with Pegg and here are excerpts.

Regarding Star Trek and Ice Age, he said "Both of those films are hugely ensemble-driven, and it just so happens" that I'm in them, he says. "If they were my movies, driven entirely by me, then maybe I'd feel a bit full of myself. But I have no illusions about the fact that it's purely coincidence. It's not me. I'm just along for the ride."

I'd love to see some more of Scotty the "Miracle Worker."

As far as the rest of my character development wishlist goes (maybe I should start a thread on this):

1)More development of the Kirk-Spock-McCoy dynamic
2)More development of the Spock-Uhura relationship
3)Development of the Sulu-Chekhov friendship

You can almost be 100% assured Scotty will have more screentime -- not as much as Kirk, Spock and McCoy. But we'll see him throughout the whole movie. Remember, even James Doohan wasn't on screen a whole lot for most of the first six films cause he was always down in engineering.
