While promoting the Blu-Ray release of Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1, actor Peter Weller speaks with I Am Rogue about working on the highly anticipated Star Trek Into Darkness, J.J. Abrams' follow-up to his critically acclaimed Trek reboot. He doesn't reveal anything about his role in the film (his character is currently unknown), but Weller says that the director is "the best, one of the greatest human beings ever", and that he was "one of the most talented people I have ever worked with."

Additionally, Weller is also asked about his thoughts on MGM's upcoming reboot of the RoboCop franchise (the actor starred in the first two movies). He says that he wishes the film well, although RoboCop isn't a part of his life anymore. Watch the full video (in which he also discusses filming Sons Of Anarchy) below:

Star Trek Into Darkness will hit theaters May 17th, 2013 and stars Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Benedict Cumberbatch, Zoe Saldana, Simon Pegg, Karl Urban and Alice Eve. RoboCop is scheduled for an August 9th, 2013 release and stars Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Abbie Cornish, Michael Keaton and Samuel L. Jackson.

This guy has aged into a creepy old man. I really hated him on Dexter. Which was the point i guess

And devastatingly handsome.

He kinda looks like a Ferengi. Maybe he'll be a Ferengi.

The ending of the first Robocop was epic. But not for the faint of heart.
