Roberto Orci Denies Details of AICN Negative Review, Again - Spoilers

Features

By GustavoLeao / 05:02, 7 January 2008 / Star Trek: Nemesis

Star Trek movie writer Roberto Orci popped onto the Don Murphy message board and completely and specifically denied that the details on AICN negative review were true.

He said:

"No area 51. That makes no sense. The Earth KNOWS there are aliens. What possible meaning could an area 51 have?"

"No Kirk as bad student. We all know he's a genius."

"No protesters with signs about anything."

"Yes, there's great action, but we've said that in other interviews."

The original report is here.

Quote from Reklaw:
Your point was that foreknowledge doesn't effect the dramatic writer's task.


Wrong. My comment was about audience interest in drama that has a foreknown outcome.

Looks like your numbskullery needs some spoon-feeding.

Here's precisely what I posted above: "Drama isn't a function of foreknowledge, nor of mortality. If it were, audiences (thus Hollywood) would ignore productions of well-known historical events such as Apollo 13."

Get that? If not, go find a brainy adult to explain it.


For those who don't recall, here's what IESB.net quotes from Roberto Orci: "How do you have drama if indeed you are dealing with characters, when you stick to canon, who you know live to be 100. How do you have drama if that's the case?"

Golly, so how did TOS create dozens of weekly dramatic adventure stories, with the foreknowledge that all principal characters would live to return for the next episode???

Fortunately, for Orci's career, there's a flock of moviegoers who crave the kind of "drama" found in shoot-'em-up video games.
