"This summer, the crew of the Enterprise find themselves in yet another    
   interstellar pickle.   
      
   Who will hit the warp drive on the funny? Our cover lad, Simon Pegg, of   
   course.    
   The England-born actor returns as chief engineer Montgomery “Scotty” Scott   
   in    
   this year’s franchise reboot, Star Trek Beyond. And it happens to coincide   
   with    
   the 50th anniversary of Gene Roddenberry’s iconic (and campy) TV show.   
      
   Yeah, Pegg has heard all the “Beam me up, Scotty” catcalls he can take.   
   Even his    
   mother won’t stop. Still, the man is a comedian. He’s also (per his   
   Twitter bio)    
   a zombie killer, supercop, alien buster, diesel weasel, and onetime owner of   
   the    
   Millennium Falcon. So we figured the twisted mind that brought us Shaun of the    
   Dead, broke Ethan Hunt out of a Russian prison (as Benji in Mission:    
   Impossible), slipped on a fat suit to play Unkar Plutt in last year’s Star   
   Wars,    
   and co-wrote this year’s Star Trek would be the best spokesperson for our   
   Insane    
   Ideas issue. Just how does this intergalactic polymath do it?"
