May 12 | "J.J. is one of those people who has the ability to re-introduce water to you in a new way. He's such a creative man," said actor Faran Tahir, who plays Federation Captain Robau in the new movie to National Ledger "I love what he's done with it because he hasn't said farewell to the tradition or the story of 'Star Trek,' but he has such a fresh approach to it that I think he will re-introduce it to this generation in a way they can relate. It will create this bridge between the people who grew up with it and this younger generation who didn't know about it."

TrekWeb reader Christopher Allan Smith (MotherFraker) sent in the following report about Star Trek XI:
Recently, Jeff Goldsmith, Senior Editor for Creative Screenwriting
Magazine, interviewed Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci about MISSION:
IMPOSSIBLE 3 after a screening of the movie in May sponsored by the
magazine. In the magazine's podcast, dated May 26, the duo gave the
clearest indication yet of their plans for Star Trek XI.
Below is a word for word transcription of everything they said when
asked about their pending Star Trek work. To this listener, it's the
clearest indication yet they are not re-imagining (as this listener had
hoped) but building on the current canon. Enjoy.
Question: I know you can't say much, but is there anything you could
even tell us to interrelate you pick a starting point so vast and so
rich as Star Trek?
A: There are pockets within the universe, and we know the mythology
well, and we are fans of the novels that happen between the movies and
all that kind of stuff, which aren't even counted as part of the
mythology sometimes and we do know that there is a space to begin to
see a lot of the origins of a lot of the things we know and we're going
to start there. We're very mindful of being totally true to the
mythology and totally true to what's come there, and in a way try to
embrace the fact there's such a rich history to it that this is not a
case of trying to come in and be so clever that you're going to
reinvent everything. It's a case of coming in and using the stuff you
know is great and you know really works and not violating anything
that's come before it.
Question: So, are we able to say that this is going to be with
characters we know or new characters which preceed the characters we
know?
A: It will be a bit of both, I think. It will be both.
