Talking with the LA Times'
Hero Complex, Bruce Greenwood - who plays Captain Pike in J.J. Abrams'
Star Trek - talks about working with the Enterprise crew for the first time for the upcoming
Trek sequel, which began production on Thursday. Greenwood also briefly comments on the script, saying that it's 'good' (as expected), as well as expressing his excitement. Meanwhile, co-writer/producer Damon Lindelof comments on making the highly anticipated sequel worth the long wait, saying that everyone involved with the film has the same ambition.
Damon Lindelof On Making The Sequel Worth The Wait... Every single person involved with this movie has the same ambition — to do everything they can to justify the long wait … to live up to the lofty expectations of 40-year ‘Trek’ fans and those who are coming to the party for the first time. The energy is crackling. The warp core is primed. And we are, at long last, ready to boldly go once again. I hope to God we don’t screw it up.
Bruce Greenwood On Working With The Cast Members Again and His Excitement For the Film... I was talking to Anton [Yelchin] the other day and he was saying that they all got together on the bridge a few weeks ago and it was just like no time had passed at all. None. I had dinner with Chris [Pine] a few months ago and he said he couldn’t wait to get back with the gang of people that makes this work. The same with me. They’re wonderful people and the show is like the icing. What’s great is the family. I know it’s an overused term and people roll their eyes but it really feels that way to me.
Everybody’s got their script – all printed on red paper with every actor’s name stamped across every page — and their brown bag and we’ve all signed these releases that are as long as your leg. The script is good, as you would expect. You won’t be given anything by anybody when it comes to the movie. It’s easier to push the building than get anything out of anyone. We have a huge stage here, I haven’t seen it. It’s exciting.
