Speaking to I Am Rogue, Rachel Nichols - who briefly played 'Gaila' in J.J. Abrams' Star Trek reboot - comments on the pending status of the film, saying that she doesn't have any information on when filming begins or if her character will even be included. She says that she'd still want to reprise her role as Gaila if the character will be included in the film, however.
Finally, have you heard anything about when Star Trek 2 will begin shooting and do you know if your character will be included in the new film? You know I always joke that the most secret of auditions that I’ve ever had have been for J.J. Abrams. I wish I had some information. If for some reason I did have information I probably couldn’t tell you but truthfully I don’t have any information. I don’t know when Star Trek 2 is slated to go. I don’t know if they are thinking that Gaila is dead, or if they’re thinking of bringing Gaila back, I have absolutely no idea. I would love to go back. I would happily spend the hours of green paint insanity to go back and have a few scenes in the next one as well.
