MovieWeb posted an exclusive interview with young actor Anton Yelchin, who plays the new Pavel Chekov in the upcoming Star Trek movie prequel. Here are few excerpts from the article.
Anton Yelchin: I am working on Star Trek right now. It is a lot of fun. It is totally different than anything I have worked on. It is difficult in certain ways. I could sit and talk about Charlie Bartlett for hours. Because I spent hours getting to know this guy. I know the back of my hand worse than I know Charlie Bartlett. You sit and you have a character whose head you can dig deep, deep, deep into. Then you have Star Trek. There are only so many levels to Pavel Chekov. But then, there is a certain fun to that as well. I have had an opportunity to sit and watch the old series. I have been able to find what I'd like to pick up on. It is weird being on a set where a lot of the actors, myself included, have no idea what a turbine engine is. Or what it might do when it explodes. You are looking at a green screen that is supposed to be a battlefield. But nothing is going on. It is fun. It really puts you into the frame of mind that you are making a movie. I had this feeling that I was on a big film. It is the old classic idea of what a film set is supposed to be. I have never had that opportunity. It is fun. Is very different. It is interesting. I do really love digging deep. I love getting to know a person so well. I think that is the most important thing. You have to know everything. From the way they walk to the way they talk. To the way they dress. That is all an extension of who they are. It is weird when you get onto a set, and that isn't the case. No one asked me what I thought the Star Trek uniform should look like. Everything was planned out. But I had to find things in that sort of environment. That is very interesting. It is just cool and epic to be on that set. It is a lot of fun.
Did you meet with Walter Koenig?
Anton Yelchin: No. I was worried and freaked out that he would come on set and not like me. Then he would say may accent is awful. But he never came. He hasn't come thus far, and I am almost done. So...

So, the movie teaser-trailer might be showing us the 1701 undergoing extensive repair or modification, not being built.
