![]() ![]() So from 8 to 18 that was our level of engagement. ![]() My brothers and I would talk our way into hanging out with them. They had a little fish and chip shop and they would close at 9 and we would have dinner at 10 and at 11 came on channel 13. Justin Lin: My family, we immigrated to the States when I was 8. Lin takes over Abrams’ directing duties and shared his life-long dedication to the fandom: Abrams also talked a bit about restructuring the Trek creative team for Beyond. That’s the best thing about it.ĭirector Justin Lin and executive producer J.J. It’s news now, but if you re-watch the movie in ten years, you won’t think anything of it. ![]() Having seen the film, its nonchalant posture towards it is the best thing about it. It was really the handling of it that was most important to me. I feel like our version can give more to women and people of color than Roddenberry was originally able to. I feel like we can go further in 2016 than he was able to do at the time. John Cho: Roddenbery did set up a world that was incredibly progressive, but it was tempered by the social morals of the era. In response to both Simon Pegg and George Takei’s progressive and friendly dialogue about the sexuality of the Kelvin timeline’s Sulu, John Cho shared his thoughts on the choice for it to be a part of the film: So Jaylah’s actually named after Jennifer Lawrence. So we just called it “Jennifer Lawrence in “˜Winter’s Bone.’ That’s a long name.” So it started getting tiring always saying, “Well, Jennifer Lawrence in ‘Winter’s Bone’ is fighting here,” so then we started calling her J-Law. Simon Pegg: We were trying to create this very independent character, but we didn’t have a name for it. Simon Pegg reveals the inspiration for the character is one of Hollywood’s biggest leading ladies: ![]() Unable to make the interviews was actress Sofia Boutella (currently shooting The Mummy), who plays Jaylah, the film’s standout new addition to the cast.

Zachary Quinto: It became important for all of us to honor his legacy, and I thought Simon and did a beautiful job to incorporate it in the narrative of the film. The film itself also remembers another lost cast member, Leonard Nimoy, who’s character in the film gets a wonderfully touching send-off and becomes a part of Spock’s arc: Eight, nine years later I talked to him and he was still translating it. And he said, “I can’t man, I’ve got to go back to my trailer.” I was like, “Okay, why?” He was translating, like, an esoteric Russian novel into English, just because that’s what he wanted to do. I invited him back to my trailer to play guitar because I knew he played guitar, and he played guitar really, really, really well. We’re grieving the loss of a great friend and a great human being, and he can never be replaced.Ĭhris Pine: I remember one of the first times I met him, like nine years ago or whatever, he was 17. For all of us, it’s almost incomprehensible to be at a point where we have to talk about him in the past. We’re at a point where we should be celebrating, not only this film, but this beautiful man, this talented man. Karl Urban: It’s devastating to lose a family member. Absent but not forgotten was Anton Yelchin, who recently passed, but lives on on screen, so the cast sees the film as a celebration of their fallen brother: ![]()
