I know in fandom that when Zach was on Heroes, many of us were saying that if they ever did a Star Trek reboot (and this was long before word had come out about it being considered), they had to hire him as Spock. He had that gravitas, yet also could display the humor.
Totally agree with you there! I appreciate when interviewers allow the actors to actually discuss their craft--acting. Mr. Quinto and Mr. Pine certainly are very handsome fellows in famous roles, but they are people with a passion for what they do. A big thank you to Blunty for keeping the interview professional yet intriguing and, dare I say, fascinating :)
Quinto is on the nail when he eloquently expains the little echoes that resonate like almost at the end how Pine sits in Kirk's chair and rattles off commands to Chekov and Sulu. He does it in a very deliberate way to remind us of Kirk.
SO nice to see an interview that isn't quick cut and ladened with background music. Just 8+ minutes of their thoughts on the process of making this great project.
An old buddy and I were discussing the new Star Trek franchise when out of nowhere he says, " I really like Chris Pine, but Zachary Quinto sucks." Couldn't understand his comment. I thought Quinto gave an excellent portrayal of Spock.
Awesome interview, these are both great actors bringing their evolving their own identity and distiction of the Kirk/Spock characters to the movie. Love the Movie
Isn't it the sign of a smart series of questions when the guests can just let loose and go free-form into the "feel" of the answer -- and that's what we have here: No cheesy talking points, just great interviewing the way it's meant to be done -- thanks for the post!
I just finally got around to watchng this, past my internal Quinto fangirl squeeing I really enjoyed that! You are a very fortunate and cool interviewer Nate! Great vid :)
Oh my God, did anyone notice that when Zach says "I am so mad at you right now, Chris pipes in with a helpful little comment..."germs everywhere." lol lol lol
They are both gorgeous and well-spoken, but I definitely love Chris Pine more. I was not into Star Trek before the film, but I knew a little about the characters. I like how Chris kept the main traits of Kirk (humor, arrogance, decisiveness) but followed his own interpretation of the role separate from Shatner's. This movie is UNBELIEVABLE. On my Top 5 list. Plus, every time Chris came on screen, I couldn't help but smile from ear to ear. :)
Very good interview! You asked good questions and struct the right balance of being friendly without being overly familiar. Plus you were lucky with your interviewees in that they were so comfortable with each other and the interview process. Good job.
At 1:30, you see his cute mug tickling his face around like a puppy about to sneeze, and then he looks around and up into the light like a cute little kid and sneezes...*sigh*...soooooooo cuuuuute! ;)
Great interview, Blunty! The atmosphere of it made me anticipate that one of the guys would any moment say something like "hey Blunty, turn the cameras off and get the beer and the cards out!"
People may say they look bored, but remember they were at a premiere the previous night and have been interviewing for months on end probably. They're amazing. I almost love them as much as the originals.
If you do not look at straight forward pictures of Quinto and start looking at sideway profiles you will really see the resemblance. The only thing that isn't Nimoy might be the very cartoonish philtrum. But finding someone to be a 100% copy would be too hard, we are glad we got someone who looks like a child of Nimoy!
I love this interview! Not only are Chris/Zach as cute as always, but the interviewer is really good. He has an even voice, and doesn't draw too much attention while at the same time playing along.
I think its great that Zach has such an acting range. He plays Sylar very very well, and his character with Spock is just so different - just a great actor overall.
ive been waiting for this interview, i love Zach, he does a great job as Sylar, and im not a big star trek fan but im considering watching it just to see his performance.
I love Chris and Zach as much as the next person, but I really love this interviewer, Blunty. Lots of interviewers are either annoying, don't know what they're talking about, or both. This guy is really cool and funny :) Kudos!
*chris nose twitch* *zach talking.....* ACHOO! Zach: omg i LITERALLY cant believe you just did that... Chris: nose tickle Zach: im SO mad at you right now...LOL
i've been a trekky FOREVER and im so excited for this movie AHHH! my birthday is in may so im going to going to have a Star Trek party then watching it with all my friends in gold class YAY love you blunty
I don't recall. there were two separate interview rooms set up so it was kinda hard to keep track of who was where and when, best just to focus on what you were supposed to be doing rather than the others.
Those two.... are hilarious together... I can't wait for the movie to come out... I'm extremely jealous of you Mr. Burr... but, I'm glad to see how far you've come... I've been subscribed since "My Pokeballs Beat yours!" back when you smoked on cam... lol
I love to watch this interview, they´re both intelligent, I love them! Maybe could be Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday with Chris and Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday with Zachary LOL!:)
I love watching these guys together. The chemistry was in the movie ever so subtly. I am hoping the next film delves further into the Kirk/Spock relationship. I want to see the buildup, not just pop right into the film and they're already best buds.
Oh, Zach, I'm so glad you share my love for Leonard Nimoy!!! He is amazing. I've loved him since I was 8 years old!! You're so lucky you get to hang out with him. I also think that you did a brilliant job as Spock! You definitely lived up to my expectations! You're so cute too, and you have the most intense stare...
The movie was an AMAZING tribute to the original series!! As a die hard Trekkie, I give the film & it's cast 2000% approval!! The banter between Chris & Zachary is hilarious! Loved the bored looks, sneeze, & Zach's exquisite vocabulary! May I say that on top of having stellar performance, both actors are the most dashing piece of ooo-la-la yummy-ness I have EVER laid eyes on!!! Soooo handsome! (=
To me Zach always seems very self-conscious in video interviews. His eyes constantly wander off the camera and the interviewer, and he has all these little things that he does. :D I don't think he's not listening, he's always come across as very considerate person to me.
"What does he smell of?"
"Of charisma."
"Power."
These guys are so cute omg.
I've been in a room where Nimoy and Quinto were sitting next to each other (and out of costume etc) and yes, there is absolutely a resemblance.
i love how Zach is just like "OMG i can't believe you just did that. i am so mad at you" they are like the best friends ever
They are so dorky together, it's so cute lol.
Let's all take a moment to notice how they are both leaning into each other while they are getting interviewed. The bromance is so cute.
Awww, Chris and Zach are so adorable!! I just melted a little inside because of the "little cuddle"...!
I know in fandom that when Zach was on Heroes, many of us were saying that if they ever did a Star Trek reboot (and this was long before word had come out about it being considered), they had to hire him as Spock. He had that gravitas, yet also could display the humor.
This interview was lovely! Truly got to understand Zach and Chris in their creative work!
...And here's to many many more Star Trek movies to come!!!
I look forward to them all!
PS: Loveing the new timeline!

I can melt at Zachary's voice *-*
Quinto is on the nail when he eloquently expains the little echoes that resonate like almost at the end how Pine sits in Kirk's chair and rattles off commands to Chekov and Sulu. He does it in a very deliberate way to remind us of Kirk.
The way Chris said "little cuddle", just awww
YES! I Can't wait for the Movie! I Love Zach as Sylar and he will ROCK as Spock! Amazing Interview Blunty!
SO nice to see an interview that isn't quick cut and ladened with background music. Just 8+ minutes of their thoughts on the process of making this great project.
oh my god when Chris sneezes and Zach gets so pissed XD AHAHA They're literally perfect
I love this interview - it shows what good friends they are and what a fantastic sense of humour they have!
:-)
1:42 "I'm so mad at you right now" I love how he said that! Scratch that, I just love the way he speaks! ♥
Is it just me or does it totally look like Chris and Zach are holding hands?
god this ship is so profusely cannon in my mind
Chris's lips are just... pure delicousness... and I've been in love with Zack's eyebrows since heroes
An old buddy and I were discussing the new Star Trek franchise when out of nowhere he says, " I really like Chris Pine, but Zachary Quinto sucks." Couldn't understand his comment. I thought Quinto gave an excellent portrayal of Spock.
Oh god you are my favourite interviewer. I've been watching so many of their interviews but I keep coming back to this.
Awesome interview, these are both great actors bringing their evolving their own identity and distiction of the Kirk/Spock characters to the movie. Love the Movie
I love how they keep looking at each other while they talk..lol..
always adorable even when he's sneezing, chris pine
That was great, thanks for posting. They are just adorable together - the Kirk/Spock magic continues
"Except ... He smells."
"Of what?"
"Charisma."
OH MY GOD
Saw the movie today--and LOVED IT! I am amazed I smiled through most of it--and these guys are SIZZLIN!
I like the fact that you leave everything in, like Pine's sneeze. It gives the interview a more human feel.
Isn't it the sign of a smart series of questions when the guests can just let loose and go free-form into the "feel" of the answer -- and that's what we have here: No cheesy talking points, just great interviewing the way it's meant to be done -- thanks for the post!
zach's facial expressions while chris is speaking is just adorable.
around 5:30 and beyond.
I just finally got around to watchng this, past my internal Quinto fangirl squeeing I really enjoyed that! You are a very fortunate and cool interviewer Nate! Great vid :)
Exactly :3 They make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I love watching interviews they do together. Quite entertaining~
Oh my God, did anyone notice that when Zach says "I am so mad at you right now, Chris pipes in with a helpful little comment..."germs everywhere." lol lol lol
How I felt in love with the movie! I love these guys, they did a great job on it. Really hope for more.
that was the cutest thing! he was truly touched by zach's compliment,.
LOL. That's the first time I've ever seen an actor sneeze in an interview. They're both adorable :)
They are both gorgeous and well-spoken, but I definitely love Chris Pine more. I was not into Star Trek before the film, but I knew a little about the characters. I like how Chris kept the main traits of Kirk (humor, arrogance, decisiveness) but followed his own interpretation of the role separate from Shatner's. This movie is UNBELIEVABLE. On my Top 5 list.

Very good interview! You asked good questions and struct the right balance of being friendly without being overly familiar. Plus you were lucky with your interviewees in that they were so comfortable with each other and the interview process. Good job.
Ohhh my god these two are sooooo epic! I just want to hug them forever. They are so bromantic.
THAT was an amazing interview dude.
hats off, totally awesome interview, great questions, and you got some real nice answers back too.
Zachary sure likes them four-syllable words! They're so cute, and their chemistry is definitely the keystone of these films
At 1:30, you see his cute mug tickling his face around like a puppy about to sneeze, and then he looks around and up into the light like a cute little kid and sneezes...*sigh*...soooooooo cuuuuute! ;)
Great chemistry. They had to get that balance right, and in the interviews showed that.
Loved that manly pat on the shoulder Quinto gave to Pine. :D
I did I did. I often replay it too. Love the spontaneity of the moment.
Great interview, Blunty! The atmosphere of it made me anticipate that one of the guys would any moment say something like "hey Blunty, turn the cameras off and get the beer and the cards out!"
they're so adorable and the bromance is quite heartwarming!
People may say they look bored, but remember they were at a premiere the previous night and have been interviewing for months on end probably. They're amazing. I almost love them as much as the originals.
YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD BE AWESOME?? A new series with this new crew :D I know I'd watch it.
Okay I am loving their outfits SO much. :3 They're hilarious- I hope we see more of them soon!
If you do not look at straight forward pictures of Quinto and start looking at sideway profiles you will really see the resemblance. The only thing that isn't Nimoy might be the very cartoonish philtrum. But finding someone to be a 100% copy would be too hard, we are glad we got someone who looks like a child of Nimoy!
awwww chris pine called it a "nose tickle." ADORABLE
I love how they are literally shoulder to shoulder lol BROMANCE!
They are both so super cute and smart and funny! Love when Chris sneezed =) lol
Thanks for posting!!
I love this interview! Not only are Chris/Zach as cute as always, but the interviewer is really good. He has an even voice, and doesn't draw too much attention while at the same time playing along.

I love Chris's face building up to the sneeze.

This interviewer was lovely :)
These guys are too cute and smart! :D And they played their roles quite well. Can't wait for STXII with these guys!

Those two.... are hilarious together... I can't wait for the movie to come out... I'm extremely jealous of you Mr. Burr... but, I'm glad to see how far you've come... I've been subscribed since "My Pokeballs Beat yours!" back when you smoked on cam... lol
You've gotten lucky with hvaing a chance to speak with these actors. Great job, Nate/Blunty!
They're both amazing, and holy mother! The movie was AMAZING!
Omg, I just found this 11 years later and this video is like a time capsule. Blunty got to interview Zach and Chris???
during this whole video, I kept saying out loud, to myself "they're so cute!!" lol
I think they are amazing actors!!
i am SO in love with Zachary Quinto..
Usually my Canon HG10, but these interviews were shot on other cameras, didn't notice the model. Paramount had their own setup and crew for these.
:) I love that voice! ♥ I like when he uses all thouse big words. He sounds so smart!
They're so happy in this interview :)
im in love with zachary quinto... he's awesome
I love to watch this interview, they´re both intelligent, I love them! Maybe could be Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday with Chris and Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday with Zachary LOL!:)
I love watching these guys together. The chemistry was in the movie ever so subtly. I am hoping the next film delves further into the Kirk/Spock relationship. I want to see the buildup, not just pop right into the film and they're already best buds.

I also think that you did a brilliant job as Spock! You definitely lived up to my expectations! You're so cute too, and you have the most intense stare...
Zachary sounds so smart omg cuuuute
That didn't even dawn on me until you said something! It's amazing how many nods to TOS are in the movie!
My GOD you got to meet Zachary Quinto!? Man your lucky. He looks and sounds exactly like he does in Heroes! He's a great actor.
"I'm so mad at you. Right at the middle of my line"
lol Zack is awesome
LOL!
The build up to the sneeze is EPIC!
It's like The Blob.... it's coming..!
The movie was an AMAZING tribute to the original series!! As a die hard Trekkie, I give the film & it's cast 2000% approval!! The banter between Chris & Zachary is hilarious! Loved the bored looks, sneeze, & Zach's exquisite vocabulary!
May I say that on top of having stellar performance, both actors are the most dashing piece of ooo-la-la yummy-ness I have EVER laid eyes on!!! Soooo handsome! (=
Why was that sneeze the most adorable thing ever?!
nice i filmed this interview in sydney!!yay!!
the boys were really great,,easy to get along with
Zach is my hero, he used the word juxtaposed in a normal conversation.
Man Zach hates it when Chris sneezes
To me Zach always seems very self-conscious in video interviews. His eyes constantly wander off the camera and the interviewer, and he has all these little things that he does. :D I don't think he's not listening, he's always come across as very considerate person to me.
