J.J. Abrams & Roberto Orci talk ‘Star Trek 2′
What’s in store for ‘Star Trek 2′
Roberto Orci, in an article from the Los Angeles Times, talked about the next chapter in the reborn Star Trek franchise. “We’ve literally had two meetings now. We haven’t decided anything but we’re starting to circle around some ideas,” the in-demand writer said. “We got a lot of fan response from the first one and a considerable amount of critical response and one of the things we heard was, ‘Make sure the next one deals with modern-day issues.’ We’re trying to keep it as up-to-date and as reflective of what’s going on today as possible. So that’s one thing, to make it reflect the things that we are all dealing with today.”
Trek director J.J. Abrams also talked Star Trek 2. “The ambition for a sequel to Star Trek is to make a movie that’s worthy of the audience and not just another movie, you know, just a second movie that feels tacked on. The first movie was so concerned with just setting up the characters — their meeting each and galvanizing that family — that in many ways a sequel will have a very different mission. it needs to do what Roddenberry did so well, which is allegory. It needs to tell a story that has connection to what is familiar and what is relevant. It also needs to tell it in a spectacular way that hides the machinery and in a primarily entertaining and hopefully moving story.”
Don't you mean 2 of the worst movies of the year came from the same writing team? ST was the better, but it was not Roddy's ST. Who cares if it deals with current events, MAKE IT A GOOD STORY.
