Anton Yelchin Hopes Everyone is Satisfied with His New Chekov

Features

By GustavoLeao / 17:42, 14 September 2007 / Star Trek: Nemesis

ReelzChannel posted a new interview with actor Anton Yelchin, who will play the new Pavel Chekov in J.J. Abrams upcoming Star Trek movie. Here are a few excerpts from the article.

"I'm waiting to read the script, actually," says Yelchin. "I guess they're withholding that until they get casting done or whatever. I plan on... becoming as much of a Trekkie as a I can in the couple weeks before we start shooting - just renting all the box sets, not going outside, not seeing the sun rise, just having the shades drawn."


In the interim, he's sanguine about fan reaction. "Who knows, I may be (scared) later, because Star Trek is such a big thing that I hope I don't let anyone down, I hope everyone is satisfied with whatever. But then again, it's such a big thing that you can't please everyone," says Yelchin. "I look at all these movies like Spider-Man and stuff, and then I think of myself walking out of Spider-Man, saying, ‘Oh well, like, in the cartoon... when I was seven...' Everyone's got their own thing, and some people get very upset and take it personally. But the cool thing about it is if you just think about the fact that people have taken something so personally, it means so much to them. It's kind of a great thing to think about - that Star Trek and Spider-Man, or X-Men could mean so much to someone that they'd actually really take it seriously enough to criticize the hell out of someone because they don't fit their image. If I think about it that way, I'll take it less seriously."


The full interview is here.

Know the facts? WHERE is it documented that during TOS he is no more than 22 years old? Kirk was in his early 20's when he got the command of the Ent. They want a early 20ish Kirk. So if Kirk is suppose to be say 22-23 you have this Chekov who is 18. A 4 year difference which you can clearly NOT see in TOS. So it looks like the Trekman is lacking a bit when it comes to Trek.

Why don't you do something except sitting back crossing your fingers and going "I hope it is ok". Putz!
