Zachary Quinto, who takes over the role of Spock from Leonard Nimoy in director J.J. Abrams' upcoming Star Trek reboot movie, told SCI FI Wire that he based his characterization as much on the film's script as on Nimoy's previous performance of the iconic character.
"I really felt like my relationship to the character was specific to the text I was playing and to the world in which the character is being created right now, this time," Quinto said in an interview at the Television Critics Association summer press tour in Beverly Hills, Calif., on July 20. "So I didn't feel beholden to Leonard, other than to honor the origins of what he created, obviously. But I think the whole project was based in that philosophy, so it wasn't a problem."
Qunito plays Spock at an early stage in the character's life. Nimoy also appears in the film, presumably as an aged version of the character, though Abrams and writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman have remained coy about the exact storyline.
Quinto--who also returns to play the villainous Sylar in the third season of NBC's superhero series Heroes--said that he wrapped his role in Star Trek at the end of March and that the film wrapped production at the end of April. It is now in post-production, with an eye to a May 8, 2009, release.
Quinto can be glimpsed in his new Spock makeup and costume in a preview poster for the film that will be debuted at Comic-Con International in San Diego this week; the poster, one of four, can be viewed at the official Web site under the "downloads" link.
"I think it looks great," Quinto said of the teaser posters. "I think it's a really cool concept to bring them all together. I think the colors look really great. And, you know, I think it's a hearkening of what's to come. ... I think it's going to be really cool."
So how cool was it to put on the ears? "That was a momentous occasion," Quinto admitted. "I shared it with my dog. He was there." --Patrick Lee, News Editor
