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 !

I realize and agree with STNG being behind him. However, knowing of him, he had no career prior to STNG not was a household name, and it is only through STNG that he gained recongition. Yes, he has been Shakespearean all his life, but why leave the UK to go to Hollywood? And then denouce the very fans that made you famous. And it is that recognition that brought the crowds to the theatres. But he is an outstanding actor, of that there is no doubt.

Here in London, many are angry at him. In particular at the Standards awards, with his mind and ring games and speaking out of turn and lying to be quite frank to the public. I admire him greatly, do not get me wrong. But to thy own self be true, which for those who know him, he has not been.

I am very glad he has brought MacBeth to the BAM in NYC where his other fans can see a true actor at his craft. It will be a performance not be to soon forgotten.
