Patrick Stewart Does Not Have Any Feelings for New Star Trek Movie

Features

By GustavoLeao / 13:26, 25 December 2007 / Star Trek: Nemesis

Issue 157 of SFX Magazine, out in the UK, features a brief interview with Star Trek The Next Generation star Patrick Stewart, Here is a transcript of the interview.

What are your thoughts on J.J. Abrams upcoming Star Trek prequel, which is ditching the Next Generation entirely ?

To be honest, I don't know anything about it, so I'd hate to comment. I don't really have any feelings about it either because my time on Star Trek is over - it was over years ago !

You've got to remember that Star Trek hasn't been my life. Even when I was doing Star Trek I was doing lots of other things because I was lucky enough to have a career before Star Trek came along. I've been a successfull actor for 27 years ! Also, I was only involved in one aspect of Star Trek The Next Generation. There were four or more series that came after us and of course the great classics - the original ones - that preceded us.

Can you tell us about your new SF project, The Water Warriors ?

There is nothing to tell, because nobody has mentioned it to me. I know nothing about that project at all. I know it's on the internet that I'm going to be starring in it, but all I can say is you mustn't believe everything you read on there !

This idea that we have to "wait and see" the movie before judging is silly. If Berman and Braga were doing one last film everyone and I mean EVERYONE (including all these people who keep whining about having to see it first before making any opinion) would be trashing the film before they shot one frame.

It is very simple that this movie will be stupid and be nothing more than a sell out. An big attempt to get the American Idol audience in the seats. Just look at the various things that are coming out. You have comments like "a movie your mother will love". Then the classic lying of "we want Shatner vs we can't use Shatner because they killed Kirk". I mean for gods sakes the people behind this can't keep their own lying straight. The storyline being something about the Romulans going back in time to kill Kirk (cough cough FIRST CONTACT). Then the most ridiculous thing to come out of this is a redesign of the original ship. My god. It is suppose to be a prequel and the ship will NOT be the same?

Just because these guys say they are fans and adding stupid things like a tribble and an Orion slave girl etc as some stupid "nod" to TOS means nothing. You have the Nimoy wanna be (Zac) who admits to not really watching Trek suddenly giving us his "opinion of the character" etc. Give your head a shake I don't care to hear the opinion of someone is not a fan of the series. The greatest insult is the "Tiny Toon TOS" cast. The idea that the characters are going to be different before they evolve into the ones we know in TOS is a BIG STRETCH!

There will be this "well Nimoy approves". Of course he is. The movie was written FOR him. He will STAR in it. It strokes his ego and gives him a nice big FAT pay check.

As it stands right now. We are getting nothing new. No new ship. No new cast. No new situations. No new villains. No new anything. Just more mind numbing prequel crap. ENT took care of any prequel idea that fans might have wanted to see.

For all the "boys" who are going to go ape shit over this and start getting off topic with their crap. Why not make a single thread which points out WHY anyone should be happy about STXI: 90210 with what is now known about STXI. It will be a very if not nonexistent thread.



As it stands, Abrams and his so called crew of "fans" are nothing more than a bunch of liars.
