Sci Fi Scanner posted a new interview with Tim Jones and Mike Johnson, writers of IDW's Star Trek Countdown movie prequel comic book and here are few excerpts.
Q: How closely did you work with Star Trek writers Alex Kurtzman and Bob Orci to write the prequel comic?
MJ: We were working on the comic literally in the same place the movie script was written. We had access to the footage to make sure the story we were telling was in line with the movie. And the story we told in Countdown really grew out of the script that Bob and Alex wrote. We fill in things that you don't see in the movie, but are a part of the story nonetheless.
Q: How essential do you think the comic is to understanding the movie?
Q: Did you feel any responsibility to rectify Star Trek: Nemesis, which most fans disliked?
TJ: Absolutely, although we wouldn't want to use the word "rectify." But definitely, the sad fact that they were not going to make another Next Gen movie gave us an impetus to go back to those characters and let everybody knows that Star Trek still loves them.
MJ: I'm a Nemesis defender. I think Nemesis gets a lot of grief. There's a lot in there, and they took some risks. This was more an opportunity to revisit them again because there wasn't going to be another movie. We were working with Paramount and CBS to make sure the choices we made for what happens to the characters -- like Data becoming Captain of the Enterprise -- stayed consistent with what you'd seen in the movies and the show.
Q: One of the big surprises in the comic is that Data is alive after dying in Nemesis. Are you planning to explain exactly how he was resurrected as his brother, B-4?
MJ: We'd like to revisit that. We'd like to show exactly how Data became Captain, how he came back as B-4. We touched on it in Countdown, but the story was really about Nero's history. So we definitely want to go back and explore those hints that we dropped, and we're talking to our publisher about doing some more comics.
The full interview is here.
