No matter how many special effects a movie has. No matter which actor is the star. If you have a bad script, chances are youâll have a bad movie.
And thatâs the reason all of us should be thankful for the great work Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman did in writing the "Star Trek" script. While they had everything stacked against them in making this movie work for both the fans and non fans of âTrekâ, they hit a Barry Bonds steroids using home-run, and itâs still flying in the air.
Since many of you have now seen director J.J. Abrams reboot of âStar Trekâ, I figured itâs safe for me to post the interview I did with Roberto and Alex.
The main reason I waited wasâ¦.we talked about something in the movie that I didnât want to spoil. So if you still havenât seen âStar Trekâ and want to be spoiler freeâ¦.only watch the first part of the interview. You are warned.
Since the interview ran a bit long, I broke it up in two parts. And if you missed them talking about âFringeâ and âCowboys and Aliensâ, just click the links.
And I'm on Twitter.
