Esquire posted a new interview with Star Trek and Transformers 2 writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman and here are few excerpts.
ESQ: Is there ever any temptation to play up the campiness of older franchises like Star Trek or Transformers?
AK: None. In fact, we came out of Hercules, one of our first jobs, and [director and producer] Sam Raimi taught us an enormous amount on that show. The first lesson we learned was even if the show is perceived as campy, you can never write it as camp.
RO: Because you just don't have fun. Unless camp is somehow inherently part of the original DNA of the project.
ESQ: Is it a burden to deal with fanboys who expect you to be faithful to the source material?
RO: No, not at all. In fact, we actually listen to fans all the time. It's helpful because you want to get a sense of what people are looking for and what they disagree with. [...].
AK: I mean, we're lucky in a way. Screenwriters didn't always have automatic feedback on every concept that gets leaked. It's like having a focus group of thousands. How you process that information is the trick. But it shouldn't be thought of as a burden - it should be thought of as a resource or a tool.
The full interview is here.
