Catching up with STAR TREK BEYOND actor Simon Pegg at the UK premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens — don’t worry, no spoilers here! — British media site Hey U Guys chatted with the film’s co-writer in the wake of Monday’s trailer release.
It was very action-packed — yeah, it was surprising. I find [the trailer] to be the marketing people saying ‘Everybody come and see this film, it’s full of action and fun!’…
There’s a lot more to [the movie] than that. I didn’t love [the trailer] because I know there’s a lot more to the film. There’s a lot more story, and a lot more character stuff, and a lot more of what I call ‘Star Trek stuff.’
But, you know, [Paramount has to] bring a big audience in; they’ve got to bang the drum. To the ‘Star Trek’ fans, I’d say hang in there and be patient.
As with director Justin Lin’s comments yesterday about some hesitance towards some of the marketing decisions to include certain sequences into the BEYOND trailer, Pegg obviously would have made a few different choices had he been part of the editing team to roll out our first look at next year’s film. We’re hoping that “more Star Trek stuff” is as potent as he suggests.
