J.J. Abrams Sends A Message To the Fans at Creation Grand Slam

Features

By GustavoLeao / 16:32, 14 April 2007 / Star Trek: Nemesis

Star Trek XI producer/director J.J. Abrams sent a message to the fans at the Creation Grand Slam convention this weekend in Burbank, which was read to the crowd by Richard Arnold Saturday morning. Here is a transcript of the message, courtesy of Trek Movie Report :

Dear Grand Slammers,

We are currently in pre-pre-pre-production and are all beyond excitement and honored to bring you the next chapter in the Star Trek saga. There will be much more to say at next year’s convention, but for now know that we are working hard to do you proud. Thank you for your support and for keeping Mr. Roddenberry’s vision alive

Best,

J.J. Abrams


Also, according to site, Arnold told the crowd at the convention that he discussed with Abrams how he felt that some of the later series of Trek got away from Gene Roddenberry vision, noting that former Star Trek producer Rick Berman once described the early Star Trek series as ‘pollyannish’. Abrams reply to that was "I think we can all do with some pollyanna."

The original report can be found here.

Frelling could be absolutely right....Maybe the
Trek era is over and maybe the franchise is dead..and maybe this movie will become the next "Snakes on a Plane" or "Grindhouse" but there's only one way to find out and that is to do what BSG did, which is what Abrams is doing.........

I do agree with you though, qua.....

Let's not jump to conclusions until we have a premise from which to jump....

Of course maybe Frelling is doing pre-spin damage control, and setting the stage for lowered expectations...

"With hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents, and endure what storms may come. Let it be said by our children's children that when we were tested we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back nor did we falter; and with eyes fixed on the horizon and God's grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations."

"This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time - to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth - that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we cant, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people-Yes We Can."

"Yeah, I don't do cowering."-Barack Obama
