If you’re looking forward to Star Trek 2, Cowboys & Aliens, Fringe season 3, the remake of Hawaii 5-0, the View-Master movie, or just want to know how movies are really made, you’re going to love the interviews I did with screenwriters Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman at this year’s Saturn Awards.  While most of the time you’re lucky to talk to someone once at a big awards show, I managed to get a lot of time with these two very busy screenwriters as I spoke to them before the show on the red carpet and then backstage after winning The George Pal Memorial Award.  What I’m trying to say is…I got tons of updates on everything I mentioned.

For fans of Star Trek, they say they’re about half way through the figuring out the story of the sequel and they are “circling” the villain.  And for fans that are looking forward to Cowboys & Aliens (Jon Favreau’s next film), they talk about how the script changed when Daniel Craig got cast and how they got Harrison Ford in the film and so much more.  Also, they said they didn’t think anything would be at this year’s Comic-Con…but I don’t necessarily believe that as Favreau knows how important Comic-Con is.

The interviews are loaded with great info, so hit the jump and take a look.  Everything is time indexed so you can watch the parts that interest you:

At a press day for the upcoming DVD releases of both Star Trek (out on DVD and Blu-Ray on November 17^th) and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (out on DVD and Blu-Ray on October 20^th) writer/producers Robert Orci and Alex Kurtzman took time to preview their upcoming release schedule.

While still trying to break stories for the Star Trek sequel, the twosome are pushing their next project, Cowboys and Aliens, into production with director Jon Favreau, are working on developing a View-Master film, and also oversee at least a couple episodes of the television series Fringe each season. What they had to say is after the jump:
