Director Kevin Smith Praises Reboot Concept, Compares Movie to The Wrath of Khan

Features

By GustavoLeao / 23:49, 25 October 2008 / Star Trek: Nemesis

Sci Fi Wire posted a new interview with director Kevin Smith (Clerks, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back), in which he talks more about the new Star Trek movie, since he was given an early screening of an early cut of J.J. Abrams movie, as reported before. Here are excerpts of the article

Smith admitted to preferring the films over the original series, and he said the new reboot movie is a highlight of the film series.

"I can watch the movies again and again and again," Smith said. "The TV is kind of sacrosanct for a lot of people, but I don't enjoy it as much as I enjoy the movies. So this one I enjoyed probably the most since I've enjoyed, like, Wrath of Khan."

He lauded the performances of Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto  and the rest of the prequel's cast and also praised the idea of rebooting the franchise. "I'm all for a reboot, because it just keeps it potentially alive longer," he said.

The full interview is here.

You're a f*cking idiot. Interviewers ask him questions, he praises his film and it gets posted here. You think he has some sort of agenda of overpraise or something? I mean, seriously... it scares me that people like you actually vote.
