J.J. Abrams Says New Movie Soundtrack is Recorded, Trailer Made Simon Pegg Cry

Features

By GustavoLeao / 16:00, 21 October 2008 / Star Trek: Nemesis

MTV posted an interview with Star Trek director J.J. Abrams and here are few excerpts.

MTV: "Star Trek," this little film that you've directed that's coming out next summer, where do you stand on it? Do you have a final cut, music in place?


Abrams
: We've recorded most of the music, and we're about a week away from locking the movie.


MTV
: Can you speak to the running time? Am I in for two and half hours of brilliant "Trek"?


Abrams
: It will be a two-hour movie. I'm sick of these two-hours-and-forty-five-minute movies. Seriously, it's like I don't have enough time to say two hours and forty-five minutes. I'm exhausted just saying that twice. I can't stand it.


MTV
: Do you have it on your iPhone or something? I heard a rumor that you had "Trek" footage somewhere.


Abrams
: I did have it on my iPhone. Not the whole movie. I just had a little trailer footage. I showed Simon Pegg when we were at Comic-Con, I showed him this little trailer thing, and it was my favorite thing ever. He literally started weeping. It was ridiculous. He was sitting there, I mean, he must have been plastered. Because he was looking at my iPhone [crying].

The full interview is here.

"Any input without judgement or stupid comments, would be appreciated....if you don't understand, I would prefer you not reply at all"

Well, the thing is, you have to understand that if you start off a post saying you're SERIOUSLY considering suicide because of a movie (especially once you've never seen), then you're inviting judgements and comments from others. You're also clearly taking your hobby far too much to heart for good health. And I don't say that to insult or judge you. We all love Star Trek here, or else we wouldn't be visiting this forum. But no one should ever take the series so seriously that they'd consider suicide because of any aspect of it. It is, when all is said and done, just fiction. It's not life, and it's not worth ending life over. If you're seriously considering suicide over this movie, or are actually crying because of a throwaway comment from J.J. Abrams, then you need--and this is not a judgement, just honest advice--to turn off the computer and the DVD player, put away the books, put on a pair of sneakers and some relaxing clothes, grab a water bottle and go outside for some fresh air, to regain some perspective.

Sooo...anyone here ever consider...suicide?? i'm just askin....ummm, cause...I seem to be thinking about it alot, the past few months...seriously...I'm crying right now...whats up with that??


That's something which is best disclosed to someone via a real-time medium (e.g. in person or by telephone), someone that you may trust to help you make decisions about how to deal with your immediate distress.

If there's no suitable friend or family member, don't be afraid to consult a medical professional or guidance counselor.

No...nor should anyone ever consider that over a movie.
