Quite possibly the biggest movie of the summer may just be J.J. Abrams re-launch of the beloved Star Trek franchise. MTV was lucky enough to visit the set and chat with some of the cast and crew about the project.
After their visit, they released a small featurette with an intro from Zachary Quinto (Spock), which is basically the trailer we’ve seen intertwined with short statements from a bunch of the actors, including: Simon Pegg (Scotty), Chris Pine (James Kirk), John Cho (Sulu), and Zoe Saldana (Uhura), as well as director J.J. Abrams. There’s also supposedly some new footage mixed in, but nothing stand-out. You’d have to look closely to see it.
Basically, the actors just chat about how cool the project is and how exciting it is and how Abrams is like “… a 10-year old kid who’s making movies in his backyard.”
As you know, this new Star Trek will give us a look at the early days of James T. Kirk and his crew on the USS Enterprise. The movie will be released in theaters on May 8, 2009.
