Star Trek Sequel Closer Than We May Think? 
Reported By - Kat - 21:01:17 (GMT) 
Simon Pegg may be doing promotional work for the third Ice Age movie but Star Trek is clearly never far from people's minds. In a recent interview with Zoo Simon suggested that he might be reprising his role as Scotty, with the film reaching cinemas in 18 months.

"I know the writers are busy thinking about it. I don’t really know anything about the story, or if I’m in a bigger role, but I’d imagine we’ll be back this time next year. That’s not official, but I reckon it’s probably about 18 months away from being in the cinema"
