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 upcoming season will include some special guest stars, including Brandon Routh of "Superman Returns" who will play CIA agent Daniel Shaw in an episode, and the addition of SUBWAY restaurant as a major advertiser to the show.

STAR TREK VOYAGER's Robert Duncan McNeill serves Chuck as a supervising producer and director.0

Hey, thanks. I actually know very little about the Trek community, despite having watched it religiously since I was a child. Next Gen was pretty good, mostly Seasons 3 and 4. However, everything after DS9 was awful. I can understand people loving the franchise for nostalgia purposes, and they're free to for whatever other reasons. If I were 7 again, I would have loved the action of Enterprise and been bored by original drama, too.

However, what I can't stand is all the acclaim J.J. Abrams receives for the laziest work. It's an insult to all the hard-working writers like the more famous writers within Trek, but also great writers like Melinda Snodgrass.

Close-minded premature judgment isn't nearly the virtue that you seem to hold it as being.

The ridicule and criticism that that outlook elicits is more than warranted.
