J.J. Abrams Says He is Disappointed for Not Bringing Star Trek to the Comic Con

Features

Sci Fi Wire posted a new interview with Star Trek movie director J.J. Abrams, conducted during the Television Critics Association's summer press tour in Beverly Hills, Calif., on July 14. Here are few excerpts of the article. 

Abrams said that the film will explore the relationships among the familiar characters while dispensing with the Original Series' kitsch. "I feel like there's a certain thing that you can't really hold onto, which is, ... there's a kind of kitschy quality that must go if it's going to be something that you believe is real," he said.

As for Comic-Con in San Diego, July 24-27, Abrams expressed disappointment at not bringing the movie to the huge event, and added that the film is not ready to be show. "Our visual effects, unlike something like Iron Man, we have well over 1,000 visual-effects shots," Abrams said. "It's a huge thing. so i'm very disappointed, because the characters are so good, the actors are so good, that I would have been psyched just to show some of the stuff that's about the people. Because it's not really about the visual effects. But with so little done ... . And this was a big kind of strategic decision on [Paramount's] part. so I was disappointed."

It seems that your humor was lost in the translation. Gotta work on my English. Or maybe I really forgot my sense of humor when I got up this morning.
Anyway, I just find the whole Shatner debate rather tiresome. Both sides tend to take it too seriously, at least those who still take part in that discussion. Myself, I just don't really care if he's in it or not.
