Rod Roddenberry Praises J.J. Abrams, Says Director Will Stay True to Canon

Features

SyFy Portal posted a new interview with Eugene "Rod" Roddenberry Jr, son of late Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, in which he talks about his visit to the new Star Trek movie set and his meeting with director J.J. Abrams. Here are few excerpts from the article.

"I met with J.J. Abrams, but I didn't really see any of the main product," Roddenberry said, likely visiting when Abrams was shooting secondary shots and the like following principal photography. "What I did see, it looked great. The costumes, acting, sets."

"J.J. is such a regular guy, and seems so much like a fan because he gets it," Roddenberry said. "While he has to work the way you have to work in Hollywood and balance what the studio wants, he's really on the side of the fans. He really tries to stay true of the continuity and stay true to canon."

The full interview, in which Roddenberry also talks about his documentary Trek Nation, can be found here.

HAHAHA, sooo true. Even his dad didn't really matter to the franchise beyond the first season of TNG and now his son thinks he has to put his "stamp of approval" on it? Please... where's Majel? At least she's been coherent most of the time.

Man, give the guy a break. Where in the article did he say that his "approval" of the project was key if the project was to continue. His dad created Star Trek for jebus sake. All he said was that he thought highly of Abrams and that he "gets" Star Trek.

And not only are you shitting on Eugene, but you're shitting on Gene Roddenberry. Apparantly trolling isn't just one of those passing fads.

...but I have to admit it was pretty funny. lol

There once was a man named Scorned,
whose posts were more offensive than porn.
He posted one too many,
got kicked out on his fanny,
and all the while he had been warned.
