Sci Fi Wire posted a new interview with Star Trek movie director J.J. Abrams, conducted during the Television Critics Association's summer press tour in Beverly Hills, Calif., on July 14. Here are few excerpts of the article.
Abrams said that the film will explore the relationships among the familiar characters while dispensing with the Original Series' kitsch. "I feel like there's a certain thing that you can't really hold onto, which is, ... there's a kind of kitschy quality that must go if it's going to be something that you believe is real," he said.
As for Comic-Con in San Diego, July 24-27, Abrams expressed disappointment at not bringing the movie to the huge event, and added that the film is not ready to be show. "Our visual effects, unlike something like Iron Man, we have well over 1,000 visual-effects shots," Abrams said. "It's a huge thing. so i'm very disappointed, because the characters are so good, the actors are so good, that I would have been psyched just to show some of the stuff that's about the people. Because it's not really about the visual effects. But with so little done ... . And this was a big kind of strategic decision on [Paramount's] part. so I was disappointed."

In a photo (below) from the new Enterprise bridge, there appears to be large glowing gauges, a big red rocker-switch, and what looks like fabric-covered acoustic speakers -- all mounted on a shiny brushed-chrome console.
I call that "kitschy" -- particularly for a 2008 vision of 23rd century technology -- but Abrams could have something else in mind...

Perfect! That means that J.J. still has time to squeeze Shatner into the film so that it will not fail at the box office! In fact, I was taking a tour of the Paramount lot the other day and snapped a pic of Shatner taking a break from filming! The pic is below:
There's hope after all! Yay!
