Sci Fi Pulse posted an exclusive interview with Star Trek Of Gods and Men co-writer Jack Trevino, in which he talks about the popular fan film, the New Voyages (now Phase II) fan series and J.J. Abrams Star Trek movie. Here are few excerpts.
SciFi Pulse: Is Of Gods and Men about the redemption of Captain Harriman?
Jack Trevino: Partially, I always felt the character of Captain Harriman was never given the opportunity to show that he was not responsible for Kirk's death. I thought that if the fans looked upon his character that way, so would the other Trek characters. Therefore, he should have been given the chance to prove he was Star Fleet material. Our story would elevate his character to hero status - something that Alan Ruck also felt was right for the character. I hope OGaM gives him a new audience and a new fan base.
SciFi Pulse: Given that both are notably absent from Gods & Men. Will there be any references to the characters of Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Sulu?
Jack Trevino: We do make mention of the characters and one of them in particular, plays a key part in the events of the film.
SciFi Pulse: What are your thoughts about some of the rumoured story lines for Star Trek XI?
Jack Trevino: I have always wanted to see how Kirk and Spock came to be friends and as to how Kirk decided on whom he wanted on his ship. I always theorized on the types of scenarios that might have occurred in which these characters interacted with one another and how those interactions served as the basis for Kirk's decision to bring them on board.
SciFi Pulse: Do you think projects like New Voyages may well have influenced J.J. Abrams decision to actually reboot Star Trek by going back to a time before the original 5 year Voyage? Because when we last spoke I heard some rumours that Paramount had actually paid the set of New Voyages a visit?
Jack Trevino: I'm fairly certain Paramount was attuned to New Voyages and what they were accomplishing with their fan film series. I'm not in a position though, to comment on whether or not it served as the basis for JJ to do a reboot. That'll be an interview for him to comment on.
SciFi Pulse: While on the subject of New Voyages can you give us any updates as to when your story will actually make it onto the screen? Perhaps offer a few very minor spoilers?
Jack Trevino: It's still in the pile of backup scripts. Ethan and I hope it makes its way to production status and look forward to seeing it actually filmed. I think the effects might have been a little too ambitious, but with every production, Star Trek: Phase II gets better and better with their effects. They now have Darren Doughterman on board and his work is top notch. Look for his work in the director's edition of ST:MP -great effects which make the film that much more enjoyable.
