Patrick Stewart Says He Loved J.J. Abrams Star Trek Movie

Features

By GustavoLeao / 19:24, 10 June 2009 / Star Trek: Nemesis

The Yorkshire Post posted a new interview with Star Trek The Next Generation star Patrick Stewart and here are few excerpts of the article.

"Yesterday, I took my grandchildren to see the new Star Trek movie. There were three movie trailers, one for the new Terminator movie, one for the new Harry Potter and one for a Pixar animated movie. All the trailers sounded and looked the same. Full of standardised levels of noise, violence and special effects and I thought, 'My God, nothing would attract me to any of these'.

"I love animated movies and I especially love Pixar but I weary of standardisation. I don't know what's happened... but I better not go on, you never know, they might want to cast me in one of them."

He might want to leave it there, but given he spent seven years playing Captain Picard, what did he think of the 21st-century version of Star Trek?

"I loved it. I absolutely loved it," he proclaims. "It was a very, very odd experience to be in the cinema watching a new Star Trek movie that I wasn't in. Not only that, but with the exception of Leonard Nimoy I didn't know any of the cast... but, it's Star Trek. They've taken some quite innovative decisions but it's absolutely essential, right down the middle Star Trek. I got a great kick out of it."

He also says of Chris Pine, the young actor playing Captain Kirk: "He's brilliant. He is charming, truthful, funny and utterly delightful."

The full article is here.

I'm sorry, can you source anywhere that he ever had any actual interest in Potter? Produucers MAY have had an interest in him, but any hint that he was interested?

If not, then you're just projecting your own bitter fantasies so you don't have to deal with what was said.

Because he's worked with Trek for years and grasps it at a level beyond your infantile baseless, hatred.

Nice to see comments on it from a Trek alum. We saw all kinds of interviews BEFORE the movie came out, but I can't really recall reading comments by Trek stars about their reaction. It's nice that Patrick Stewart saw it. I simply can't believe Shatner hasn't seen it...OR any of the movies or episodes that Patrick Stewart was in. Simply awful. I'm sorry...I like Shatner and love Kirk, but I just don't understand how you could not watch some of these movies when it's basically your life's work. I mean...he's really got NO interest? If he's SO uninterested, I can't see why he is upset about not being cast in anything.

That's because you're a closed-minded imbecile who's been crying foul about the film since well before it was even released.
