NEW YORK (UPI) -- Two members of the original Star Trek cast are
featured in a micro-budget movie shot mostly in upstate New York and
now available online.
Nichelle Nichols and Walter Koenig played Lt. Uhura and Ensign Chekov
in the original TV series and went on to do six big-budget movies.
Now, more than 30 years after they first joined the crew of the
Enterprise, they are in "Star Trek: Of Gods and Men," the New York
Daily News reported.
Koenig last played Chekov in 1994 in "Star Trek: Generations," a movie
featuring the ship and cast from the second TV series. He said he felt
no great need to "revisit the character."
"These folks were really very dedicated," Koenig said of the cast and
crew of his new movie. "I'm pleased we were able to do something for a
very small amount of money that had some really good dynamics."
Koenig said that his new Chekov is "more twisted and vengeful." In the
movie, Chekov and Uhura are in a parallel universe where the
Enterprise exists -- but without Capt. James T. Kirk.
