”My only regret is that the movie can’t come out sooner,” Leonard Nimoy says.
I think we can all sympathize with Leonard Nimoy’s statement from the Entertainment Weekly cover story, “Star Trek: New Movie, New Vision,” as pictures, interview with director J.J. Abram and plot spoilers appear online from the recent pre-released article.
J.J. Abram’s track record so far in the television and movie business shows a visionary who can bring a large cast together, driving a plot through dips and curves with unforeseen twists. Even though there are plot spoilers in EW, they are just teasers. Star Trek fans can only guess…
But, Abram and the cast are crossing a chasm of over 30 years of Trekkie’s speculations. If they don’t hit the mark with the early years of Kirk and Spock well…it’s a $150 million dollar gamble.
But, like I said Arabm’s track record is the positive side to this hellacious movie.
Something else to consider which I haven’t seen yet on other movie websites, in an interview I conducted 
with sci-fi author David Gerrold, who wrote “The Trouble with Tribbles,” one of the most popular episodes.
Gerrold told me the original series had an extensive bible (background material on the characters). He used that information as well as talked with the actors to write the popular episode, which by the way, reveals many sides to the Star Trek crew viewers had never seen before.
I wonder if Abrams and his scribes used the original bible to the show. It would have been a wise choice and perhaps kept the overall plot and characterization of the original Star Trek series.
We’ll find out this summer.
