Zoe Saldana’s Star Trek speech problem
J.J. Abrams made Zoe Saldana re-do her scenes in ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’. She told Empire magazine: ”He writes these mouthfuls of dialogue and it’s hard for me because Spanish my first language. So there were moments, at least once a day, where we’d have to cut and he was like, ‘Zoe, it’s not traject-ory, it’s traj-ECT-ory.’ ”Or he’d say, ‘That was great, but...
