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

Features

By GustavoLeao / 14:28, 14 July 2008 / Star Trek: Nemesis

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."

But after all, since cdydatzigs blurry, shaky "projects" using his mother's camcorder never get any attention (don't forget, he's an "independent filmmaker" that doesn't understand basic filmmaking), and he can never get any work making fucked up company logos because he's always misspelling words (he's a "graphic designer", which is a title that requires no licensing or experience), he has to get some attention SOMEWHERE, doesn't he? And the anonymous internet is perfect for that. Especially someone who was a little kid when even TNG premiered.

Boy, it would really piss cdydatzigs off if he knew every single one of his postings has been (and/or will be) top-posted responded to, and that he'll absolutely never get the last word.
