MoviesOnline posted a new interview with Simon Pegg, the new Scotty, and here are excerpts.
Were you nervous about the reaction to ‘Star Trek'?
It was quite nerve-wracking going into it because it is such a beloved story and the whole exercise was to reinvent it while, at the same time, not dismissing anything that had gone before. The writers did an incredibly smart job, a real ‘cake and eat' it thing whereby they were able to reset the whole story without invalidating anything that happened before. They did that by having Leonard Nimoy playing Spock, which meant that everything we knew about ‘Star Trek' had happened, because it had happened to him. But he'd just gone back and started again. It was ingenious. Still, you never like to expect that kind of major positive reaction, because you never know how the finished film will look. I have done films before where they have felt brilliant on set and then you see the finished thing and it is not quite what you expected. But I had a good feeling because I have such faith and trust in J.J. Abrams. It was so nice to see that the critics agreed.
Have you had any unusual encounters with ‘Star Trek' fans, or indeed any of your fans?
Sadly, no. In fact, I am pretty lucky in that way. The normal people who come up to me are usually nice and polite. Things do change and you find it hard to operate in the way that perhaps you used to, even in LA for me it is different from how what it was before. But you just adapt. It's not necessarily a positive thing. It means you have to make decisions about where you go, like at home, I can't walk into a pub any more without getting stared at and certainly I can't go in to a pub with Nick [Frost] because we are seen as the ‘complete set'! But that's par for the course; it's just something you have to take on board when you get into this game.
