Zoe Saldana a.k.a Uhura Talks The Untitled STAR TREK Sequel

Hottie Zoe Saldana was at Sundance, promoting her new movie THE WORDS and she got to talk to AP about reprising her role as Uhura in the Untitled STAR TREK sequel which is currently in production..

“It’s wonderful because I’ve been dying to work with the cast again, to work with JJ,”
“I love him so much. He’s such an amazing human being and such an amazing storyteller and a great director, so what more can I ask for? I start the year and I’m literally going back to a very familiar environment and being a part of a great story.”

When trekmovie.com asked Saldana if the fans would see more of the romance between Uhura and Spock in the sequel, all that Saldana was willing to say was…

“All I’m going to say is, if you put all the time and energy and wit into setting these two characters together in the first movie and didn’t follow through, it would be a shame.”

But in real life, it wouldn’t happen because actor Zachary Quinto‘s not really into Saldana and her kind, if you catch my drift.

The sequel to STAR TREK from director J.J. Abrams, will be released on May 17, 2013 in 3D. The 2009 re-launch of the “Star Trek” franchise by Abrams was met with critical acclaim and a worldwide gross of over $385 million at the box office.
