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 !

By the way, I wouldn't want to run into you in Salem, MA.

"This idea that we have to "wait and see" the movie before judging is silly."

I stopped reading there. That statement is the sign of an ignorant, opinionated (without good reason) and most likely obnoxious person.

Give your head a shake, Patti.

Patti,

You have been billowing the same smoke for the past six months about why you have no intentions of seeing this movie, and how you hope it will tank.

I get it. I am perfectly clear that you don't care to have any part in the movie, and that's completely okay if you don't. However, you're going to find that a large segment of the fanbase is actually excited about seeing the new incarnation of Trek ... Numerous people have tried to take you on point by point on why you think the new movie will fail (myself included), and yet you spew the same bile at anyone who shows the slightest bit of interest.

There's a little concept you may or may not have heard of called 'agreeing to disagree.' It's this thing where you're okay with having your own opinion, and you're okay with other people having differing opinions, too. It's what makes America such a wonderful place, you see.

And as far as the movie goes ... well, Woody Allen once said "Even when sex is bad, it's still pretty good." I think the same can be said of Star Trek, no matter the incarnation. I'm okay with shelling out eight bucks to see if Abrams can put his money where his mouth is. If it blows, well ... I'm only out eight bucks.

Cheers!

AB

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.

Well there you have it folks, yet another Betazoid has been heard from. Talk about whining. I knew we hadn't seen the last of Patti; I knew we hadn't heard the end of the crowd that would whine no matter who was making the movie, no matter what the cast or what the story.

Somehow, I don't think you'd like Star Trek XI even if you wrote, produced, directed and starred in it yourself.
