John Cho recently spoke with CNN about how daunting it is to play Sulu. Several of his castmates have contacted their predecessors about the roles they originated — which I think is pretty darn cool. I read that JJ Abrams did the same thing before he began shooting the film, which is more than the TNG cast said for their Nemesis director, who they claim didn't really understand Trek.

Mr. Cho comments that he's finished shooting all his scenes for this movie. I hope they use the next year to good effect, polishing and promoting the film.
