Alex Kurtzman Answers Question Regarding Nero - Minor Spoilers

Features

By GustavoLeao / 10:04, 23 July 2008 / Feature Films

UGO posted a new interview with Star Trek movie co-writer Alex Kurtzman, in which he talks about Nero's make-up and ears, which does not look Romulan at all. Here is an excerpt from their article :

We asked Alex Kurtzman what was up with Nero's ears!  If you've seen the recently released Star Trek poster, you've seen Eric Bana, who is allegedly playing a Romulan, with what looks like war paint or a tattoo on his face and NO POINTY EARS.  What kind of a Romulan doesn't have pointy ears?  "Nero isn't necessarily a Romulan," Kurtzman said, but wouldn't give anything further than that.  He simply smiled and said, "It's all part of the plot." 

The full article is here.

You're right, because when I see a fair skinned guy with a face tattoo and 5 o'clock shadow? I immediately think: KLINGON

Nero looks more Klingon than Romulan, which jibes with Anton Yelchin's spill about an encounter with Qo'noS bruisers: "J.J.'s trying to shoot as much of it as he can without green screen, but I think a lot of space is obviously green screen -- what I'm looking at while seeing the Klingon warships."

Why does he keep jerking us around like this? Why doesn't he just publish the real script for all of us to read and pass judgement on ahead of time? If he respected the fans he'd show us all his cards upfront. I know I'd feel much better knowing I was right to distrust him and have the next 9 months to build a specific case against the movie.

"Nero isn't necessarily a Romulan"

Okay, Alex, now you got me officially confused. Thank you.

Just like Shinzon "wasn't necessarily" Reman. Interesting.
