USA Weekend posted a new interview with Star Trek star Zachary Quinto (Spock) and here are few excerpts.
First there was Spock, and now there's the video game [Star Trek Online]. Is it exciting to become even more a part of this universe?
I don't really think you can be more a part of the Star Trek universe than playing Spock so I don't really see it like that. I'm actually about to step out of the Star Trek universe for an extended period of time, so I thought it was a good opportunity to have a creative experience in voicing a character, which I've never really done before, and do it in familiar territory and give the fans something that they can be excited about it.
You really have been embraced by a vast majority of the Trek faithful.
It's cool. I'm looking forward to inviting the Star Trek fan base into other territory with me as an actor and a producer and potentially as a writer-director or whatever else comes down the line. If contributing to them and to the things they're excited by helps that, then I'm happy to do it.
After Margin Call, do you go straight to filming the Star Trek sequel? Do you have any updates on that yet?
It looks like I'll be doing a couple of projects between now and then. They're just now beginning to write the Star Trek sequel so my feeling is that it probably won't be in production until early next year, 2011.
Excited to put the Spock ears back on?
I'm really looking forward to it, the process. It would be really interesting for all of us to return to the thing that ultimately will always be known for what started our film careers for the most part at this level. I know for myself that's true. I'm really excited about it, with the perspective that I have and will have then. To step back into that character and that world will be really rewarding.
The full interview is here.
