Features

By GustavoLeao / 09:47, 11 December 2007 / Star Trek: Nemesis

In a video interview to Trek Movie Report, "The City of The Edge of Forever" writer Harlan Ellison revealed that the Guardian of Forever will not appear in J.J. Abrams upcoming Star Trek movie.(story)

"Some idiot reported [in the internet] that they have taken elements from my "City of The Edge of Forever" Ellison said "The Guardian of Forever, the story of Edith Keeler, all this stuff is mine, because of the Writer's Guild."

"In fact, J.J. Abrams, who is one of my favorite writers, and a brilliant, brilliant writer, does not need to steal from me. So it turned out to be bullshit. Turned out to be crap. [...] a friend of mine has seen the [Star Trek] script and said no, thats bullshit."

This information is preliminary, of course, and entirely rumor.

Calling Bullshit on this one. It wasn't some fan who went moaning to Ellison, it was Peter David. Which should surprise no one, since David is pretty much awe struck by his own sense of self importance most days of the week.

They are birds of a feather. David and Ellison are both convinced that they are the great literary minds since The Bard. At least in Harlan's case he really has written some quality stuff. David has spent his entire professional life riding the coat tales of others. Frank Millar once said that Peter David had never had an original idea in his life. I detest Millar but in this case he was right.

So it wasn't a fan clueing Harlan into what was going on, it was Peter David being the usual dick that he is.
