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."

Maybe, but it would have been a shame to hire Simon Pegg and not capitalize on his comedic talents. Besides, some of the best laughs of the original series came from Scotty.

That beings said, I think a scene or two with Scotty in command could show his badasss side along with providing some more clever comic releif.
