Simon Pegg, Star Trek's new Scotty and self-described Trek geek:

Wired.com: Right, but it's hard to imagine how you can play the part without
mimicking the original character. The same thing goes for Chris Pine, who
plays Captain Kirk in the new film. How do you do Kirk without doing
Shatner?

Pegg: Going into it I thought the same stuff. How are all these other actors
going to take on characters where the actor is as famous as the character?
Shatner and Nimoy, they inhabited those roles with such conviction and such
skill. All you can do is play the part in the spirit of those actors - not
take it lightly or parody it. Watching Chris Pine, and all the actors, I had
skin-tingly moments. I saw them doing their stuff and thought: They've got
this so fucking right. Chris had that swagger, and confidence, and
big-balls-ness, and I think he nailed it.

ohhh doom and gloom this movie will suck... (did I get that right?)
