J.J. Abrams Defends His Secrecy Regarding the New Star Trek Movie

Features

By GustavoLeao / 16:24, 3 June 2008 / Star Trek: Nemesis

According to a brief article at Jossip.com, Star Trek movie director J.J. Abrams finds himself at odds with rabid Trek fans who want to know "every gory detail about a movie that's still a year away."

He respects their hunger, but is convinced they are better off waiting until May 8, 2009. "Learning raw detail and experiencing that detail as it was intended are two totally different things," he says. "I would argue that not knowing those details in advance is a more refreshing way to live when it comes to entertainment."

It's return to prime time television can be attributed to a successful fan renewnal campaign last year. CHUCK is a one-hour, action-comedy series that follows Chuck Bartowski (Zachary Levi, "Less Than Perfect") -- a computer geek who is catapulted into a new career as the government's most vital secret agent. 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. Chuck averaged a 4.0/6 rating last season, about eight percent better than the recently cancelled "Trauma". Ratings-challenged Heroes moves back an hour when Chuck returns on Monday nights. STAR TREK VOYAGER's Robert Duncan McNeill serves Chuck as a supervising producer and director.0

Ironically, Team Abrams ignore the Official Star Trek message boards to endorse the very spoiler-peddlers who'll print idle hearsay as fact.



Sorry, but if it wasn't for J.J., I would disown everything "officially" Paramount at this point. Robert Justman passed away a few days ago and did the corporate goons at Paramount bother to post anything on the main startrek.com page?

Of course not. Ever since they 'realigned' their interactive services division, the official website has been absolutely static.

Does anyone remember when the page used to change on a daily basis? Paramount is squandering an amazing chance to keep fans excited and unified and instead seem to have washed their hands of it. The only thing they've managed to do is link it to the movie page.

Once upon a time the site drew fans in and kept them up to date on events, be it Chase Masterson's latest album release or a treknology report on encrypted data streams, but now they treat it like a static archive and the few updates that do happen are never reflected on the site's front index page.

In short, my growing resentment at Paramount for abandoning the site continues to color my perception of a once beloved franchise and the only counter to that is JJ's relentless enthusiasm.

That, and the occasional rerun on Sci-Fi/Spike/G4 that reminds me why I fell in love in the first place.
