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

Features

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."

If they need to, recast the part for a more suitable actor, though I don't know if that will be necessary.

A re-casting is completely unnecessary and never going to happen. Pegg didn't even have to audition for the part because J.J. called him and asked him to be in it personally. Case closed.
