Anton Yelchin’s Star Trek role will not be recast

John Cho (as helsman Hikaru Sulu) acted with Anton Yelchin in three Star Trek films.

With new writers, a new director, and a new villain, Star Trek Beyond feels like the film the franchise has been striving for since the 2009 reboot.

Star Trek Beyond, which opens this weekend nationwide, is now getting rave reviews, and looking to make up for numerous shortcomings of the previous installment, Star Trek Into Darkness.

“It is devastating to lose a member of your family, and we were so shocked”, Urban solemnly expressed, before his co-star Pegg jumped in.

“Such a handsome man”, the actor reflected. “If we don’t talk about it it’s like we’re ignoring it”. The pain of his loss is still very raw. There’s a bit of melancholy to the portrayals in this movie, as Spock (Zachary Quinto) contemplates his future in light of the death of his alternate-universe self (the original Spock, played by the late Leonard Nimoy), and Kirk likewise wonders whether captaining a starship is all he wants out of life. Sometimes in the white-hot center of summer, all we’re looking for is a whiz-bang sci-fi adventure saga featuring a host of familiar and beloved characters having another adventure that falls somewhere in the middle of the spectrum on their overall epic adventure. “We are deeply grateful for your unconditional love for [him]”. How many franchise leads are just straight up good people, doin’ their best, no deconstruction or antiheroism necessary? There was not much of a censor on the boy. “I enjoy watching him, and I will spend a year watching everything he ever did”.

“I would say there’s no replacing him”, the American film-maker told the Toronto Sun when asked whether Paramount Pictures would do so.

In cinemas he will be seen in Porto later this year and Thoroughbred and Rememory in 2017. “There’s no recasting. I can’t possibly imagine that, and I think Anton deserves better”. He was always working on stuff. Abrams directed the first two reboot films, and Justin Lin has helmed Beyond. Simon Pegg (Scotty): It still doesn’t feel real. Because there are no words, there’s no process that any of us have found to understand this. He was an incredibly intelligent man. “As I got older, I started to understand just how much weight it carried, allegorically”.

We’ll update this post with more details after the screening. He was an incredible soul.

Q: I don’t want to say much about the tribute to Yelchin, but it seemed ideal.

“I thought it was going to be really sad”. The one thing that when I was going through it, the interaction with Anton for me, it’s so clear that when he shows up every day, he does it for the right reasons. “You’ll never see another billboard again!”

Occasionally, there are things that just don’t make sense, even with a mind charitably predisposed toward the elasticity of science fiction. And when he turns it on-“it” being his eye for heart-pounding set pieces-you know it. I know for a fact that he’ll live on with me, and with everybody he’s worked with and interacted with.
