The modern day Sci-Fi wiz, J.J. Abrams, who wrote and directed the recent smash hit “Star Trek,” has made comments about a possible sequel.  Abrams was a massive addition to the Star Trek team. The man pretty much allowed the franchise to be reborn. And by reborn, I mean he created a brand new Star Trek image, one that is a lot more appealing to the typical movie goer, but still staying true to original Trekkies.  Summed up  nicely, Star Trek is cool.

A fortunate write for the LA Times Hero Complex was able to catch up with Abrams on the set of his TV show “Fringe.” According to the article, Abrams said….

“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 [the late ‘Trek’ creator Gene 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. There needs to be relevance, yes, and that doesn’t mean it should be pretentious. If there are simple truths — truths connected to what we live — that elevates any story — that’s true with any story.”

Cars hd Roberto Orci, co-writer on Star Trek had this to say…

“We’ve literally had two meetings now. We haven’t decided anything but we’re starting to circle around some ideas. 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.”

Salvation dvd If you ask me, Abrams is saying all the right things. He wants to do the movie justice. He realizes he has a cash cow in his pocket yet still demonstrates respect for what the movie deserves to be. I really respect this response and hope he stays true to his words. Even James Cameron, Mr Avator, thought Star Trek was a 2009 stand out.

Another thing worth noting is that Abrams is clearly thinking of how he wants it to be.  It’s obvious by his answer that he is trying to formulate a plan on how to attack the next film. Clearly, it will be about present day issues. Which is fine with me…Just don’t get caught up in modern day war at the expense of a fun, exhilarating Star Trek ride.  I have faith in Abrams and Orci, and wait in anticipation for the sequel.

I am willing to wait longer, if it means the movie will be better. What are your thoughts?
