Features

UGO posted a new interview with Star Trek writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman and here are excerpts.

Jordan Hoffman: Okay, so sequel to Star Trek. You haven't even begun the script, yes?

Roberto Orci: Little vacation in July then we hit the ground running.

Jordan Hoffman: And everyone is giving you their two cents on what they want to see in the movie. Have you ever experienced this, where people have so many opinions on a script you haven't even written yet?

Alex Kurtzman: That is unique to Star Trek. That's what is so remarkable out it - the fans. The fan fiction, the community, the familiarity with the material.

Jordan Hoffman: Well, if my vote counts, I'd like to see a Ferengi in there. If I may give you my two strips of latinum.

Roberto Orci: A greedy Ferengi?

Jordan Hoffman: I would like to see a three dimensional Ferengi, someone like Quark, who is greedy, of course, but who also has a heart. I think you guys can pull that off.

Alex Kurtzman: Right on.
 
The full interview is here.
