Actress Heather Langenkamp has signed on for a small role in the upcoming Star Trek Into Darkness. Langenkamp was the star of the original Nightmare of Elm Street.

“Well, I had the opportunity to play a small part in Star Trek, so I’m looking forward to that,” she says. “I can’t tell you anything about that, but that was a thrill for me. My husband and I worked on the makeup effects for Star Trek. He designed some of them, so that’s the thing we’re looking forward to most. Hopefully we’ll be working on something else in January. We don’t know what that will be yet, but hopefully it’ll be a really fun job.”
