The Washington Post has a profile story on J.J. Abrams that sets Star Trek XI in the preproduction stage, and which describes the energetic creative as being "hooked up funny."
Blessed are we Trekkies.
Has Abrams scoped the Web for Trekdom's reaction to his new project? "I have been on the road since the news came out," he told The Irish Times, looking somewhat fearful. "Is the reaction bad?"
"Being involved with a series that has a passionate and vocal following makes me incredibly sympathetic," says JJ toward Trek fans. "They have put up with so many incarnations along the way. These fans, they are a smart bunch. They are an intelligent group. We are very respectful and we have no intention of subverting the material."
Greg Grunberg, Abrams' boyhood friend and favored bit actor, tells SCI FI Wire he's gung-ho for a part in the next Star Trek feature. "I told JJ, 'Look, if you're going to put me in five hours of makeup, I did that in Hollow Man, and it's going to be even worse with Star Trek.' [But] I hope he gives me a great role in that. I would love it." What would he like to be? "In the Federation. I'd want to do something ... really cool. I don't know. A Klingon would actually be very cool. That would be awesome, actually, now that you mention it. Yeah, I'll call him right now. [Pulls out cell phone.] Get JJ on the horn! Klingon! That's where I'll go."
Will JJ grok William Shatner? Abrams fesses to the Globe and Mail about his weird thing for Canadians: "I feel like I must have, in another life, been from Toronto," he chuckles. "I don't know what the hell it is, but when a Canadian comes in, they get the part. I'll love what he or she is doing, and I'll inevitably say, 'Are you Canadian?' And they almost always say, yes. It's bizarre, but there's an immediate connection."
Former Star Trek: Voyager scribe Michael De Luca will convene with ST:XI penmen Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman for action-thriller film Red Cell, reports Variety.
Orci and Kurtzman wrote (and will co-produce) the most recent draft of Dreamworks' Transformers: The Movie, and De Luca will produce Paramount's How to Survive a Robot Uprising.
J.J. Abrams' Saturn Award-winning Lost - The Complete First Season DVD is on sale now in the U.S.A., Canada, United Kingdom, and Deutschland.
