Star Trek stars out in force at premiere
Updated 11:19am on 21 Apr 2009Simon Pegg attended the UK premiere of Star Trek, declaring it was a "geek dream come true".
Pegg, who donned a kilt for the night, is one of the stars of the movie, which features a young new crew.
A blue carpet, smoke machines and fans wearing Spock ears added to the space-like effect of the event which took place in London's Leicester Square.
Pegg said that the weight of the past was on the new characters a little but insisted he had played his own version of his role.
He added: "I love the Star Trek fan base. They are world leaders in positivity."
Also in attendance was actor Karl Urban who described the film as "phenomenal".
He said: "This is a film for everybody, not just long-term Trek fans."
The premiere, attended by celebrities including Jonathan Ross, who donned a black leather jacket and sunglasses, took place in aid of the Prince's Trust.
