"It's been really great. We've been shooting for a week and a half, and it's been an incredible return to that world."
No surprise that Quinto was tightlipped on storylines, but he revealed that the cast didn't see the script until just a month before cameras started rolling.
"It was the middle of December and finally I had to be like, 'We need to read the script'. They waited a pretty long time, but that's because they were working on it. There was a writer's strike the first time so they weren't able to let the script evolve. Now it's really changing... On a regular basis."
Speaking about the new additions to the cast (Benedict Cumberbatch, Peter Weller and Alice Eve) he said,
"All of them have folded in so beautifully and brought a whole new level of intelligence and sensitivity."
Star Trek 2 is scheduled for a May 17, 2013 release date and stars the returning cast from the first movie, as well as Benedict Cumberbatch, Alice Eve and Peter Weller.
