IESB posted an exclusive video interview with Star Trek writer Roberto Orci, conducted on the Paramount Lot during the world premiere of the J.J. Abrams-produced movie Cloverfield. Here are few excerpts from the video interview.
Orci took a few minutes and chatted with IESB on the black carpet. There has been plenty of rumors about Star Trek storyline details online, since a few months ago IESB reported on alleged storylines that involved elements from the TOS episode "The City on the Edge of Forever" such as the Guardian of Forever.
"I love "City on the Edge of Forever" said Orci when asked if the rumor is bullshit "You mean if it is part of [the movie]....no."
Orci said the he read about this rumor and even the knows the fact that the episode writer, Harlan Ellison said the rumor was not true.
Asked if there is time travel involved in the plot, Orci said "Who knows ? [laughs] Who knows if there is time travel involved. But if there is, it is original."
"If you know your Trek, and you know your canon, your knowledge will be rewarded." Orci said "The trick is to make it to fans and non-fans."
