J.J. Abrams was at the CGV multiplex in Apgujeong-dong in southern Seoul yesterday with stars Chris Pine and Zoe Saldana to present exclusive footage from his upcoming Star Trek movie. Here are excerpts of the Korea Herald article.
"We made this film not for Trekkies but for future fans of Star Trek," Abrams said.
"The studio wanted to give the film a fresh start and I was originally brought in as a producer, but upon reading the script, I saw so much potential and possibility that the original had failed to realize due to technological constraints so I got very greedy and I decided to direct it myself."
For Chris Pine, reinventing the character that William Shatner had made so famous, posed a great challenge.
"I began watching the original series pretty feverishly cause I knew I only had a limited amount of time to prepare for the role and after getting half way through the first and second season I wasn't doing myself any favors by trying to pick up on the mannerisms of William Shatner and the minutiae of the Star Trek world," said Pine.
"I would have created a character that was more impersonation than an original incarnation. JJ's prescription for realizing the role and this goes for all of us- was to create our own and not worry too much about obeying the laws of the original Star Trek world."
Asked whether he had consulted with Shatner about his role in the new film, the actor said, "I wrote Bill when I first got the role and introduced myself and told him who I was and by way of apology told him I wasn't trying to usurp his status because he is the 'O.G.' Captain James Kirk. I was just simply taking over the mantle of the character and was doing my part to expand on the original."
