J.J. Abrams Says the Goal of Star Trek Into Darkness is Make You Cry

By GustavoLeao / 20:35, 22 January 2013 / Star Trek: Nemesis

MTV posted new interviews with director J.J. Abrams and the cast of Star Trek Into Darkness and here are few excerpts.

"The goal of this movie is to make you cry. If the movie does its job, then by the end of the movie, you will have had a reaction involving the eyes," Abrams promised with a laugh. "If the movie works, then there's definitely an emotional component."

"The definition of who these two people are definitely comes to bear in this film. It's central to what happens in the story," said Chris Pine. "Spock is a logical man of cold reason who is run by laws, regulations and prescriptions. Kirk is a guttural, by-the-heart, instinctive and impulsive guy. Those two ways of looking at the world are central to these characters and their journey."

"There is an insidiousness and ruthlessness and fierce intelligence to [John Harrison] that almost undermines the interconnectivity of the crew," Zaquary Quinto teased. "The stakes are much higher."

Quinto insists that "there's reason to worry" about fans' favorite characters.

Bit of an odd one.

Please don't do TWOK and kill off Spock

To be fair, when someone "says something with a laugh" it's tongue-in-cheek. I do feel he meant it to strike more emotion in people than the last film did though.
