Sci Fi Wire posted an new interview with actor John Cho at Wondercon this weekend, and he talked about his role as the new Hikaru Sulu in J.J. Abrams Star Trek prequel movie. Here are few excerpts of the interview.
"I had lunch with George [Takei] before we started filming," Cho added. "I wrote him a letter, and we met, and he gave me what amounted to a blessing, and in his typically classy way, ... I told him I was nervous, and he said, 'Relax. Pretty soon people are going to refer to me as the guy who played the old version of John Cho.'
"I think the trick is, and I think ... that [what] everyone involved in the movie is trying to do, what I'm trying to do, ... is to pay homage to my predecessor and to create something new at the same time," Cho said
Cho expressed enthusiasm about the first time he put on the Starfleet uniform. "It was unbelievable," he said. "I can't tell you how cool it feels to put on the outfit, look at yourself in the mirror, and go 'Holy s--t.' And then take yourself and your outfit over to the bridge of the Enterprise. But you're looking around, and you're on the bridge of the Enterprise. It's really crazy. It's really insane."
The full interview is here.
