Bruce Greenwood, who has been hired to portray Captain Pike in the new Star Trek movie, says the scrip for the film is great... but that's all he can reveal right now.
"It's a great script," the actor said. "When I read the script I had to go to [director] J.J. Abrams' office and read it while I was being watched and leave it... I'm not sure if any of us are going to be allowed on set."

Bruce Greenwood has been cast as Christopher Pike, the Starship Enterprise's first captain, in J.J. Abrams' Star Trek follow-up.
The character of Captain Pike appeared in the original unaired pilot that Gene Roddenberry created. The pilot was rejected by CBS and then shown to NBC, which turned it down, though it liked the concept enough to commission a second pilot.
Pike was later weaved back into Star Trek lore as the ship's first captain, appearing in a two-part episode.
In other casting news, Rachel Nichols has confirmed to the Toronto Sun that she's also landed role in the film.
"I'm very restricted on what I'm allowed to say," she said. "But yes, there's a good chance you'll see my shining face in the new Star Trek."
