MTV posted a new interview with Star Trek director J.J. Abrams and here are few excerpts from the article.
"The second one has an obligation to go deeper and maintain the fun and adventure in the sense of optimism and scale that ['Trek' originator Gene] Roddenberry created," Abrams said. "But I do think it has to evolve and not become some polemic over-the-top, on-the-nose allegory. It needs to be something that is not just about the characters meeting each other and having their first adventure; it needs to be about having their most meaningful one."
These are the wide-ranging concepts that Abrams and writers Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Damon Lindelof are starting to explore. "We're literally just beginning discussions about the story and where we want to go," Abrams said. "We have some very broad stroke ideas that are very exciting. We're obviously going to do the best we can in terms of rewarding an audience."
One thing they likely won't do, according to Abrams, is call the sequel "Star Trek 2."
"I think we can't really do that, right?" Abrams laughed. "I don't know what you'd call it. It's a good question. I'm not sure."
"There's been talk about it but none of it has been mine," Abrams revealed about rumnors of new Star Trek TV Series. "Obviously I'm open to anything. The key to doing another TV show is what would the approach be that would be worthy of the audience. If there's a good idea that's fantastic."
"Obviously what you do in a film you couldn't do week to week in a series. The advantage of a series-- when you look at something as good as 'Battlestar Galactica' you see that, despite its great visual effects, there was a level of character and interpersonal drama that never would have taken place had that been a film. [A movie series and a TV series] can definitely co-exist," he said.
"The question is, who runs that show. Whats the vision of it? How does it work?" To MYV's suggestion that the studio would likely approach Abrams before anyone else, he responded in his usual humble manner. "I don't know. It would be nice certainly."
