X-Men Director Bryan Singer Praises J.J. Abrams New Star Trek Movie

Features

By GustavoLeao / 01:43, 14 June 2009 / Star Trek: Nemesis

CANOE JAM posted a brief interview with X-Men and Superman Returns director Bryan Singer in which he talks about the new Star Trek movie and here are excerpts.

"I thought he [J.J. Abrams] did an incredible job, but you know, I was the fan. I'm more a fan of the original show than all the others, even though I made a couple of movies with (The Next Generation's) Patrick Stewart." said Singer, who did a cameo as an Enterprise-E bridge officer in Nemesis (see photo)

"So I would have loved to have made that movie. I talked to J.J. about this not long ago, before I saw the film, and of course he's not an old Trek fan like I was. And I sometimes wonder if my fandom would have been a detriment to how I made the film. When I made the X-Men films, I was not an X-Men aficionado, which upset a lot of fans going in, but it was the right move. And I think J.J. took the same approach."

Totally agree. Lucas is not what you call a filmmaker.
