It's only been about two weeks since the followup to 2009's Star Trek began principal photography but E! recently caught up with Zachary Quinto (Spock) about the upcoming film and he had some interesting tidbits to say about the script.
Although Quinto wouldn't reveal any specifics about the film, he says the script is much more fluid this time around and has been allowed to evolve. Quinto went on to say that since there was writer's strike the first time out, the script for the first film wasn't really allowed to mature. I find this interesting considering I thought Star Trek had a fantastic script. Now Quinto's saying there's even more room for creative change? Sweet.
Spock--I'm sorry Quinto--also revealed that newcomers Peter Weller, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Alice Eve are fitting in nicely. Now if they could only get William Shatner* to do a cameo...** (On second thought, considering Shatner's reputed temperament that might add an undo level of stress to the set.)
*Anyone remember Shatner on 3rd Rock from the Sun as the Big Giant Head? Hilarious. Also 3rd Rock from the Sun was one of the most underrated sitcoms of all time IMO.
**Speaking of cameos, Leonard Nimoy is visiting the set this week. Possible old Spock cameo anyone?
*sorry there should be no "and"
