Abrams Cohorts Emphasize Respect for Mythology in Trek XI, Say Script Will Contain Old and New

Features

By Steve Krutzler / 17:07, 7 June 2006 / Star Trek: Nemesis

TrekWeb reader Christopher Allan Smith (MotherFraker) sent in the following report about Star Trek XI:

Recently, Jeff Goldsmith, Senior Editor for Creative Screenwriting Magazine, interviewed Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci about MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 3 after a screening of the movie in May sponsored by the magazine. In the magazine's podcast, dated May 26, the duo gave the clearest indication yet of their plans for Star Trek XI.

Below is a word for word transcription of everything they said when asked about their pending Star Trek work. To this listener, it's the clearest indication yet they are not re-imagining (as this listener had hoped) but building on the current canon. Enjoy.

Question: I know you can't say much, but is there anything you could even tell us to interrelate you pick a starting point so vast and so rich as Star Trek?

A: There are pockets within the universe, and we know the mythology well, and we are fans of the novels that happen between the movies and all that kind of stuff, which aren't even counted as part of the mythology sometimes and we do know that there is a space to begin to see a lot of the origins of a lot of the things we know and we're going to start there. We're very mindful of being totally true to the mythology and totally true to what's come there, and in a way try to embrace the fact there's such a rich history to it that this is not a case of trying to come in and be so clever that you're going to reinvent everything. It's a case of coming in and using the stuff you know is great and you know really works and not violating anything that's come before it.

Question: So, are we able to say that this is going to be with characters we know or new characters which preceed the characters we know?

A: It will be a bit of both, I think. It will be both.

Braga has written many great TNG episodes, but I noticed from a Wikipedia article about him that he wrote them in cooperation with Ronald D. Moore. Moore went on to do DS9 with Ira Steven Behr and when brought in to Voyager, faced a conflict from Braga, which forced Moore to leave.

Eventually, Moore's leaving Voyager wasn't such a bad idea, as he went on with his life and re-imagined Battestar Galactica.
