"On the day of James Kirk’s birth, his father dies on his ship in a last stand against a mysterious alien vessel. He was looking for Ambassador Spock, who is a child on Vulcan at that time, disdained by his neighbors for his half-human nature. Twenty years later, Kirk has grown into a young troublemaker inspired by Capt. Christopher Pike to fulfill his potential in Starfleet even as he annoys his instructors like young Lt. Spock. Suddenly, there is an emergency at Vulcan and the newly commissioned USS Enterprise is crewed with promising cadets like Nyota Uhura, Hikura Sulu, Pavel Chekov and even Kirk himself thanks to Leonard McCoy’s medical trickery. Together, this crew will have an adventure in the final frontier where the old legend is altered forever even as the new version of it is just beginning.."

“J.J. Abrams is just a wonderful human being! I only got to work with him on the one day that we shot, I had met him earlier during the week that we did the whole makeup test- it took me six hours to get into hair and makeup the first time. There’s was a problem where they wanted me to put in these earrings, which would have required me to have these fake ears put on, and they weren’t sure if that would work. J.J. was so funny talking about how long it had taken to get the whole look down saying, "It looks beautiful enough as it is."

In the actual shoot it felt more like modeling because I wasn’t speaking very much, he said "you’re very good at this whole ‘imagining’ world." He encouraged me to be really free. I just really enjoyed the opportunity to work with him- he seems to understand actors really well, and that’s just from one day of working with him. Speaking to the other actors on set was fun, like Chris Pine who was always singing this Star Trek rap that the actors had made up in the hair and makeup trailer. Everyone seemed to be really into the whole process, which was really cool to be witness to and slightly a part of.”

“It was so funny when I got the job. I said to the producer, “I just want to thank you because I’ve gone through my whole life identifying myself over the phone for restaurant reservations, saying ‘Scottie Thompson.’ And they’d say, ‘Dottie?’ And I’d say, ‘Scotty; like beam me up.’ So when I found out they were doing Star Trek I was like, “I have to be in this movie. I don’t care what my role is.’ ” The producer was like, “You have an alien look to you,” and he meant it in a good way, like otherworldly. So I guess it was meant to be.”
