When I sat down last week with Rosario Dawson to talk about her new action thriller Unstoppable (which also stars Chris Pine and Denzel Washington), I had no idea it was going to turn into a conversation about Star Trek.  But it did.  If you didn't know, Dawson is a huge Trekkie and we spent a bunch of the time talking about how she wants to be in the Star Trek sequel.  She even spoke some Klingon.  Of course we also talked about making Unstoppable, dressing for premieres and the double standard between men and women,  and she talked about her next project called Girl Walks Into a Bar.  Hit the jump to watch the interview:

And if you'd like to learn more about Unstoppable, here's a bunch of clips and the synopsis.
