Anton Yelchin Says Movie is an Origin Story, Talks New Enterprise - Minor Spoilers

Features

By GustavoLeao / 11:27, 22 February 2008 / Star Trek: Nemesis

Actor Anton Yelchin, the new Pavel Chekov from J.J. Abrams upcoming Star Trek prequel movie, is talking again, this time to the Chicago Sun-Times. Beware of spoilers.

"It is an origin story," he says. "It's really about how everyone's favorite characters ... got to the Enterprise. It's about how it all comes together. It's not just them arriving and saying, 'Let's just kick it on the Enterprise.' It's really an epic story full of different action and drama."

Regarding the new Enterprise NCC 1701, he says "The new Enterprise ship isn't straight out of the '60s. But they did take some '60s elements and keep them. The whole project is really a balance between the old series and the new film."

The original report is here.

For the time being, he killed my optimistic feelings about the movie. Paramount also has something to do with it, by moving the release date till summer, which is not necessarely a good thing, if it puts pressure on Abrams to deliver a more action oriented movie.

I am not desperately looking for reasons to dislike the movie, but so far I have seen little evidence that the movie will be targeted at sensible adults who aren't interested in the action or in for the adrenaline rush.

The jury is out, until the movie is out. Blockbuster movies are notorious for trying to catch the largest audiences which, unfortunately, also turns off a lot of people, like myself.
