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."

This movie ONLY succeeded because people THOUGHT they were going to see Shatner!

They were so stunned when they didn't see him they went back and saw the movie a second and third time just to be sure they didn't somehow miss his appearance.

That explains why it's been making all that money, absolutely...
