J.J. Abrams Describes the Scenes in His Star Trek Trailer - Spoilers

Features

By GustavoLeao / 13:24, 19 November 2008 / Star Trek: Nemesis

Star Trek director J.J. Abrams talks to Empire in a new article in which he describes some of the scenes from the movie theatrical trailer. Here are some of his quotes (beware of spoilers)

"The TV series always presumed this friendship between Kirk and Spock. What I love about what this movie does is that it shows they didn't start out fast friends; they actually had a very rocky beginning and a lot of conflict. How they come to be the Kirk and Spock that we know is very dramatic and rife with tension."

"This is a very funny scene where Kirk is in Uhura's room, watching her undress, and she very quickly realises he's there."

"Part of Nero's back story is that he was being held in a Klingon prison, so that's what you're seeing here."

"There are a couple of good monsters in this, which is unusual for Trek. Neville Page designed them. He did the Cloverfield monster and he did an amazing job. He's a brilliant designer."
 
"I think that what this movie's bringing is a remarkable new and energetic young cast and a treatment of the world of Star Trek that I think is as intimate as the story is massive in scope. This is a treatment of Star Trek with action and comedy and romance and adventure, as opposed to a rather talky geekfest."

Much more from Abrams can be found at the Empire article.

This is very true (save for the Gorn, and that personal pizza looking thing that zapped Spock's back, and that thing that stabbed Kirk, and that salt-lovin' thing that McCoy couldn't live without, and that molten rock thing that produced historical figures, and the Horta, and ...oh, snap! Wait, my hand's cramping...I'll be back to finish later).

I don't care what "they" say..... "THERE...ARE....FOUR....LIGHTS!"
