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.

And another little tidbit is the that the person who handled/did the percussion sets on the ST:TMP music many (many!) moons ago is also doing same on this ST soundtrack for Michael. I thought that was kinda cool.....full circle and all.

Not really a surprise seeing as every Star Trek film composer has used the Courage theme somewhere in their scores.. usually at the beginning, but sometimes elswhere, closer to the end.
