CANOE Jam! posted a new interview with Simon Pegg, the new Scotty, and here are few excerpts.
"Half my family is Scottish and my wife's Scottish," he said
"I had some leeway, and I made Scotty's accent Northwestern Scottish -- just above Glasgow, but pretty Glaswegian."
Chris Doohan, son of the late original Scotty James Doohan, "played my assistant on the ship. So I chatted with him a bit about his dad. I wanted to do something he would approve of, to do something in his honour, but not to impersonate him in any way."
"All I can say is it was a stroke of genius on (Star Trek creator Gene) Roddenbery's part, because I know it came down to him being English or Scottish. And to have the engineer be Scottish was such a neat trick, because so much contemporary engineering came out of Scotland, such a small country. The televison, the radio, the telephone all came out of Scotland."
Of the movie itself, he says, "It was great, it was really incredibly exciting. We all felt we were part of something rather special, dealing with hallowed characters and an amazing legacy and felt a responsibility to do it justice.
"It's a serious entry into the pantheon. I think there was some kind of thought going around that it might be a kind of parody or something, going back to the old characters the way we are.
"But I mean, Galaxy Quest already did that really well. It doesn't need to be done again."
