Orci and Kurtzman on Introducing Characters from Original Timeline in Star Trek XII

Features

By GustavoLeao / 22:58, 28 June 2009 / Star Trek: Nemesis

Sci Fi Scanner posted a new interview with Star Trek and Transformers 2 writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman and here are few excerpts of the interview.

Q: Are Transformers fans as ravenous as Trekkies?


BO: Transformers fans taught us how to deal with Star Trek fans. And they're both heavy duty. But Transformers fans taught us how to interact; how to turn the conversation constructive a little bit, and not just have it be, "You suck. Go jump off of a building please."


Q: Did you learn anything from writing Transformers 2 that's been helpful in formulating Trek 2?


AK: They're so different. You're putting on a different hat. And the choices that you make in Transformers with Michael as the director versus Star Trek with J.J. couldn't be more 180 degrees in the opposite direction. So I don't know that for me there's a natural corollary between them.


Q: Would you ever again want to draw characters from the "Prime" universe in the sequel, like you did for Spock?


BO: We can't be done with it completely. But I would start with what's happening to the crew now, and if that became a great thing organic to the momentum of where the first movie is going, then maybe. Anything is possible right now. That's really the juice and the curse of this path.

The full interview is here.

We get it. You're done with the 'old' universe. I can't count the number of posts you've made tearing down any possibility of it existing anymore on film. It seems to be a personal crusade of yours.

Haha, you know I got the EXACT same criticism in 2007-08 regarding the whole Shatner thing. I felt he shouldn't be in the film and knew he wouldn't be. Eventually people started agreeing, the topic became moot and I ended up being right.

For 2009-10, I have a feeling I am going to have to endure the same fantasy-talk regarding people wanting to see elements of the old universe in the new films, TV series, etc.. I am hoping these folks will come to their senses quicker than the "Shatnerbators" did. ;)
