SPOILER FREE

I saw four scenes from Star Trek this morning!! I'm finding it really hard to be articulate here because my head is still spinning. J.J. presented the scenes to a four hundred strong audience of distribution folk and online press. A bundle of pride and excitement, he gave spirited introductions to each clip with his usual combination of nervous energy and sharp wit.

The third clip featured a certain Caledonian engineer's first appearance in the movie and J.J. pulled me up to say a few words/gush like a fool, before it ran. I was somewhat geek happy and slightly disoriented from the first two clips and the trailer (which was shown first and premieres to the world imminently) and was consequently a little breathless and lost for words. I basically expressed how incredible it was, as a fan of Star Trek, to be witnessing my own contribution to the series and what an extraordinary experience it was, as an actor, to interact with characters I have known for thirty years.

The scenes I saw were dazzling and seeing Chris Pine, Zach Quinto, Anton Yelchin, Karl Urban, John Cho and Zoe Saldana in action, confirmed my initial suspicions that they have utterly inhabited the characters originally brought to life by that wonderful and famous cast.

One particular action sequence was so tense and exciting, by the end of it, I felt as though I had watched an entire movie. It's been four hours since the lights came up and I feel as though I am still sat in the auditorium with my mouth hanging open and my eyes glassy and wide. I am beyond excited for this film and now officially, inordinately proud.

Can't wait for you to see it.

Live long and prosper...

Hmmm.... Simon Pegg lost for workds???? What IS this world comming to? LOL. Simon, I can't wait; not only as a fan of Start Trek but as a fan of yours. I really can't wait. I sat though Mission Impossible 3 just for you man. It was good, but I loved your part. You're probably the first actor that I can't complain about...

wow nice. I look forward to this film in May. Star Trek and X-Men Origins Wolverine are my two most anticipated films. You'll do the role justice as i have faith in the rest of the cast.

The Star Trek geek in me is SO ready to see this!! I might even break out the old uniform and phasers. What?? Don't judge me!!!

Seriously, I really can't wait for the movie to be released. It's been SO long since I've seen a great one. I'm sure you are FABULOUS in it!

Peace, and long life...

I'm excited for you Simon! Believe me, I can't wait to see it either. I was rather dismayed to see it delayed until July of next year. As big of a star trek geek as I am, I was always thrilled that the NG movies always came out either on or around my birthday (12-13). James Doohan would have proud to see you portray his character so well. Take care Simon!

You *still* sound a little breathless and lost for words, SP. That first sentence reads like you running into the room and throwing down your bookbag, and should be prefaced with "OMGOMGOMGyou'renevergoingtobelievewhathappenedtoday!"

That is awesome! To know that it is that amazing, I can't wait to see it! I have been a fan of the Star Trek as long as I can remember (je suis un geek aussi) and to know that they are bringing the original characters back and actors like you are in it. I just can't wait! I am speechless just from reading your blog about 4 scenes and you didn't even describe them in detail....just wow!

I'm not a Trekker...Trekkie...Trek fan, but I will be watching this with a certain strange degree of excitement. I can't remember the last good new sci-fi flick I watched and I'm hoping that this will be good and will inspire some new stuff. Babylon A.D. COULD have been good and at least it had Michelle Yeoh and Melanie Thierry, but well...poor Matthieu Kassovitz is all I have to say about that.

As a lifelong Trekkie myself, I am beyond thrilled at the prospect of this film. And I'm equally stoked about your involvement and the character you're playing. Since my last name is Scott, I've always felt a certain kinship for Scotty... kind of like he's my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandson. I'll be in on line at the theater opening day in full-on geek mode... :-D

I and my children anxiously await the movie.
If its half as exciting as you have stated then I will have to get my tear ducts sewn closed before opening weekend on a count of the pure awesomeness may be to much to handle...
cheers!

Can't wait to see it.

I think you're an extremely underrated and under-recognized actor (and writer!) and hope that being hurled into the spotlight with this film will give you a wider audience.

And more work.

Peace.

Oh, Simon how exciting for you! And in fact, how exciting for us!! *jumping up and down* --- I also recently discovered that the Australian release date for Star Trek is the same day as the Australian release date for Nick's film "The Boat That Rocked".
What an amazing day that will be Down Under :-D

I'm a bit hesitant to see it, seeing as how this will be an odd-numbered Star Trek... ;)

That, and I haven't seen a Trek move, in the theaters, since part 4, back in 1986.

But if I see it, and hear the word "V'ger", even once.... I walk.
