Quinto Comments on Sequel Collaboration

Zachary Quinto recently spoke with Popcorn Biz about returning to the Star Trek set to film the sequel coming out next yesterday. As usual, no secrets are revealed but he commented that he is enjoying the more collabortive nature of tweaking the sequel script since the writers are on set.

How was it getting back together with everybody on set?
Getting back together with everybody was amazing. It was a little bit awkward because we've been away for four years, so for all of us to kind of find our footing again, just in relationship to shooting the movie [was a challenge]. But there's such a great connection between all of us that we were able to find our way pretty quickly.

We're sure you won't give away any plot details but can you talk about your reaction when you learned what the story was going to be?
Well, it's bigger and bolder. And I think in some ways more dynamic. And it's so exciting to be back. And the first time there was a writer's strike when we were shooting the movie so nothing was able to be changed – the script was locked. And this time Bob [Orci] and Alex [Kurtzman] and Damon [Lindeloff] and J.J.[Abrams] are really getting in and working on the story and sort of allowing it to expand and evolve – and bringing us into the process. So there's a real collaboration that wasn't even legally permitted the first time that I feel really grateful for. We're having a really great time.
