“I’m so fascinated by this city and so excited to be here,” he said during a press conference in September, held by Dubai Film and TV Commission.
“This going to sound so pretentious — as a student of architecture, I’m fascinated. It’s magical. I feel so fortunate to be here with friends, to be in a new place with people you care about and love.”
He was joined by Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Idris Elba, Karl Urban, Jeffrey Chernov (producer), Justin Lin (director), Doug Jung (screenwriter) and Simon Pegg (actor and screenwriter).
Quinto, who plays Spock, spoke of how close the cast were on set.
“It felt like a summer camp kind of experience for all of us, being away from home and finding more time to connect with each other,” he said. He paid respects to Yelchin on Instagram, calling him “our dear friend, our comrade, our Anton.”
Yelchin died on Sunday when his car rolled down his driveway and pinned him to a brick mailbox pillar.
He has been described by friends and colleagues as kind and curious, both traits that were visible during his UAE visit. After the press conference, he explored the lobby of the Burj Al Arab hotel alone, wearing a baseball cap and a shy smile.
Star Trek Beyond filmed in Dubai for two weeks and wrapped in October. It is set to release on July 22 in America.
