Anton Yelchin and John Cho Interview for "Star Trek" 2009

http://www.mannythemovieguy.com Anton Yelchin was such a trooper! He was sick when I interviewed him for "Star Trek," but he and John Cho made a great team! We talked about their roles, stepping into some pretty big shoes, how did they prepare, and the good, old "Star Trek" optimism. Yes, I did ask them about Trekker vs. Trekkie! Have fun!

@StoneKnivesBearskins: You also have to remember that Uhura, as a character, is a lot younger in this film than Nichelle's Uhura was. She had yet to cement her place, her career, her sense of person. These characters in the new film are at least 10yrs younger than the ones we met in the Original Series, who were all confident in who they were. Naturally, Uhura would be different as a young woman, everyone is when they're younger.

everything about Anton Yelchin is perfect except this belief of his that it's "trekkers" not "trekkies".

ummm.......no way! I'm a god damn proud TREKKIE!

@DataTheAndroid1 I agree that Nichol's Uhura is much more desirable as a character, and definately prettier. But as fans I guess we have to live with what hollywood throws our way. If we don't like it we can't really do too much about it.

[StoneKnivesBearskins]

@DataTheAndroid1 I know she talked to Nichelle Nichols, but in I have heard her say several times that she never watched TOS because she didn't think Uhura had a very large part, or something like that.

Who knows, though. Maybe I am being judgemental about her. Maybe I misunderstood what she was saying.

I will say, though, that Nichelle Nichols Uhura is more more likeable and, in my opinion, much prettier. :)
