Star Trek New Voyages producer and Kirk actor James Cawley claims that he has seen the starship U.S.S. Enterprise NCC 1701 from the upcoming Star Trek movie and has confirmed that it has been redesigned and he doesn't like it.
"I have seen the New REBOOTED Enterprise, I have Friends in the right places! At any rate, I don't like it. It is supposed to be NCC-1701, no bloody A,B,C,D or E! and it sure does not look like the 1701 I grew up with!" he said
"I just don't agree with changing such iconic designs that are so ingrained in pop culture, it is really needless."
"I just don't want the production design radically changed. I see Matt Jefferies designs as "TIMELESS", and as "Pure Science Fiction", I feel the Big E as designed by Matt deserves it's day on the big screen. I personally Hope that this film makes alot of money for the studio, and that Star Trek is around for many more years because of it. If it fails the alternative of Trek's Loss would Suck. All that aside, I do not have to be a fan of the production design. I have seen what was purported to be the final design of the New Enterprise, and I don't like the changes."
UPDATED : In another post at the message board, Cawley talked about his opinion on the reimagining of Star Trek.
"Re-imagining or rebooting IS changing what Star Trek is." he said "I am not against the recasting at all. But Star Trek is NOT broken, it does Not need to be fixed or REIMAGINED or anthing of the sort. It needs a great story with a Heart in the familar trappings of it's universe. What we are going to get is J.J. Abrams take on Trek, NOT Gene's Trek, not the one we have all been enjoying for all these years, I am sure many will enjoy it, and Good for them. I do not wish the producers will, I simply am not a fan of rebooting or reimaging, something so iconic as Trek."
