As I wrote yesterday in my Quinto post about the actor saying he’s going to take two years off from all things “Trek”, there is no way, no how he’s going to miss coming back for “Trek 12″, even if the movie shoots before that self-exile expires. Quinto must have gotten an insane amount of mail about that Wired interview, because he’s now addressed it.
Writes the pointy eared one on his blog:
i have been inundated with questions and confusion about a comment i made during an interview with wired – about the new atari star trek online game – in which i said i am stepping away from trek for the next two years. obviously i will be a part of any upcoming films… reprising my role as spock. what i meant was that in the meantime i won’t be making any public appearances related to the franchise – or doing any more auxiliary projects pertaining to the trek universe. i will be focusing my efforts on other projects and preparing to shoot the next film – which will be released in june of 2012… two years from now. hence the no trek for two years remark. worry not trekkers. it was a misunderstanding of context. i am not spock. but i am spock. all at the same time.
So there you have it, Trekkies. No need to jump off the roof. Quinto will be back as Spock in “Trek 12″.
You spread that rumor about me, didn't you? Didn't you???
