I09.COM has an interview with Zachary Quinto in which he muses about the next Star Trek film, offering, “I would imagine – this is just speculative – his planet’s been destroyed, he feels a real imperative to rebuild his race. But he’s in love with a human. There’s probably some potential conflict in that dynamic; I would not be surprised and I would be intrigued and excited by that if that were the case. I’m [also] interested to see what the villain situation is. What are we fighting against? What is our mission? That’s going to be really cool for me. I’m really excited to see the direction in which they take my character in general. Meanwhile, in an interview with STARTREK.COM, Anton Yelchin, who will be seen starting on Friday as Charley Brewster in the remake of Fright Night, reflects on 2009’s Star Trek and muses on the next chapter. “I think it’s a great film,” he enthuses. “It’s light and exciting and everything works about it. I’m a big fan of everyone’s performances. And I’m pleased that people liked it, too.” On Walter Koenig’s response to his portrayal he adds, “When you’re taking on something that’s been made iconic by an individual, and for so many years, there’s always that sort of desire, I guess in some selfish way, to gain their approval. It would such if he came up to me and was, like, ‘I f—king hate you. That was terrible, and I don’t like you.’ That’d be awful. But I’m so glad that he liked the work that I did, and to meet him was really great. It was really a very important thing for me. [As to the next one], I trust the people that are writing it. They wrote a good film and a good character the first time around, and I enjoyed doing that. So I trust that they’ll find some mission for me to do in the next one.”
