Left stranded in a rugged wilderness, Kirk (Chris Pine), Spock (Zachary Quinto) and the rest of the crew must now battle a deadly alien race while trying to find a way off their hostile planet. Krall needs an ancient and valuable artifact that's aboard the badly damaged starship. The assault came from Krall (Idris Elba), a lizard-like dictator who derives his energy by sucking the life out of his victims. I’m happy to do it.A surprise attack in outer space forces the Enterprise to crash-land on a mysterious world. I let the lawyers deal with all that business. It will just be a bit of a renegotiation. If we don’t – and I’m hoping we do – there’s no way we won’t be friends for life. I’d be very sad not to get to work with those people again. We were so close with each other… When Kirk raises the toast to absent friends, Justin was able to cut to Anton.” It was an extraordinary thing to lose Anton. Obviously, we have just been rocked to the core by losing Anton. I will always look back on April Webster and JJ Abrams’ casting and think what a smart move it was because they’re such a great bunch. I said, ‘If there’s anything you want to bring to this, please do.’ And they did, with such smarts. “I was very lucky to have that cast because they’re all so smart and grounded. It felt almost felt sacrilegious that we didn’t do our own rocking." Boardwalk Empire ’s Shea Whigam lent his voice to the Teenaxian who appeared in Star Trek Beyond ’s opening scene. Even on the first two of the Kelvin timeline movies , whenever the ship got hit, we would pretend. “For the first time in Star Trek history, both the Enterprise and Franklin (spaceships) are mounted on hydraulics so they rock, so we didn’t have to do the old-school Star Trek acting where you pretend to be thrown around. He’s a very funny and cool guy to be around." There was some really nice stuff which didn’t make the cut - which often happens – and was great with all that stuff. "There was a whole thread in the film which didn’t make the final cut about Bones picking up a gun and having a crisis of what it meant to fire a weapon. But I like to think that my own Scottishness – that comes from my own Scottish family – gives me some credence in that department.” It must be galling for the Scots because Scotty has never been played by a Scot. My father in law is always trying to get me to get in various Scottish things. There’s a reason my Scotty sounds slightly Glaswegian and that’s because they’re all ‘Wegies’. “I have a Scottish wife and all my in-laws are Scottish and they police my Scotty. When you go inside the pod, they have a little survival pack which contains a very natty survival suit, which looks great on Chris Pine." They were installed after the Kelvin was destroyed so that senior crew would have a means of escape. In our timeline, they were installed because of what happened to Kirk’s father. So who better to share some secrets about the film, out in cinemas now. Not only is Pegg one of the main characters in the form of the Enterprise’s loveable chief engineer Scotty, but he also had co-writing duties on the blockbuster. We caught up with the best British export since woollen textiles to talk Star Trek Beyond. Let’s face it: which film fan wouldn’t, secretly, want to become a film star?Īs career trajectories go, his takes some beating: from stand-up to co-creator of beloved sitcom ( Spaced) to star of breakout British smash hit ( Shaun Of The Dead) to Hollywood heavyweight. We love Simon Pegg because he’s living the life most of us could only dream about.
