Violence on Star Trek Set!

Or not. But we bet a half-million dweebs just had a stroke.
John Cho, who plays Sulu in J.J. Abrams’ upcoming Star Trek movie, has bandages around his right wrist. He says it’s tendinitis. And when asked about whether he got it on the Star Trek set, he clams up right quick.
The injury was spotted by a sharp-eyed reporter Wednesday at a junket for Cho’s next project, Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay, which opens in two weeks. After a second or two of silence, Cho offers this:
“I was strangling Zachary Quinto.”
He declines to elaborate, so, hey, could be a joke, or—Spock eyebrow up, everyone—is it?
The movie, which costars Quinto as Spock, comes out in May of next year. So we’ll just have to wait and see whether Sulu really does put Spock in the sick bay. In the meantime, Cho says he took the Star Trek role partly to honor George Takei, the original TV Sulu.
As a young Korean-American actor, Cho says, “I was particularly affected by his presence on Star Trek. I auditioned for that role. I worked for it. It’s definitely a part of why it was important to me.”
