IESB posted an exclusive video interview with Star Trek star Zachary Quinto at the San Diego ComicCon, in which he talks about the Spock role in J.J. Abrams upcoming Star Trek movie. Here are a few excerpts from the video interview.
IESB: Were you a fan of Star Trek?
Quinto: "I was a fan, but I wasn't a fanatic. I feel like I have a lot to learn about the mythology, and the lexicon of the mythology. It's very Shakespearean to me. I was saying before, I find it a very theatrical, very heightened world. There's something that, you know -- I studied Shakespeare for a lot of years in school -- and I feel really drawn to that level of mythology. So, I'm really excited to immerse myself in it. I have four months before we start, so I'm going to be doing a lot of reading, and a lot of research, about the context of the world that we're entering into. I'm excited to be a part of it in this new imagining."
IESB: One of the things I love about Spock is he's half Human, half Vulcan. He controlled his human side, his emotions, but he's had a struggle. Is that something we're going to explore in the movie?
Quinto: "I think that's going to be a lot of the journey of the character. You meet him at a time in his life where he's probably not as grounded in his certitude toward, uh, toward -- one of the misconceptions I had was that Vulcans didn't possess emotions, but Vulcans choose not to engage their emotional side. I think that's going to be something that's really interesting to explore, since he is half Human and half Vulcan."
The full video interview can be found at IESB.
SCI FI Wire also posted a new interview with Quinto, in which he says that he will approach the role from the inside out, rather than trying to mimic the original performance of Star Trek star Leonard Nimoy. Here are excerpts from the article.
Quinto said that he and director Abrams had discussed how to approach the iconic character. "I don't think it's really about-and J.J. and I had a conversation about this early on-it's not about recreating anything," Quinto said. "It's about reimagining it. And I feel like I'll do that in my own way. I don't know what that's going to be yet, but that's what my process is. We'll figure it out as time goes on."
He was pleased to have Nimoy's blessing. "He's just incredibly gracious, and to have his support and his involvement in this, ... you can't ask for anything more than that," Quinto said. "To step into a role that's so iconic, but to do it with the guidance and approval of and the excitement of the man that created it is, you can't ask for more."
