Patrick Stewart Does Not Have Any Feelings for New Star Trek Movie

By GustavoLeao / 13:26, 25 December 2007 / Feature Films

Issue 157 of SFX Magazine, out in the UK, features a brief interview with Star Trek The Next Generation star Patrick Stewart, Here is a transcript of the interview.

What are your thoughts on J.J. Abrams upcoming Star Trek prequel, which is ditching the Next Generation entirely ?

To be honest, I don't know anything about it, so I'd hate to comment. I don't really have any feelings about it either because my time on Star Trek is over - it was over years ago !

You've got to remember that Star Trek hasn't been my life. Even when I was doing Star Trek I was doing lots of other things because I was lucky enough to have a career before Star Trek came along. I've been a successfull actor for 27 years ! Also, I was only involved in one aspect of Star Trek The Next Generation. There were four or more series that came after us and of course the great classics - the original ones - that preceded us.

Can you tell us about your new SF project, The Water Warriors ?

There is nothing to tell, because nobody has mentioned it to me. I know nothing about that project at all. I know it's on the internet that I'm going to be starring in it, but all I can say is you mustn't believe everything you read on there !

Seriously, DS9 was the only really bright moment in the franchise. It's been downhill from there. J.J. Abrams is a hack and so are his crappy Alias writers. The new film might be fun but it will be superficial and gimmicky. I see no reason why Patrick Stewart should like anything Trek related these days because it all sucks.

I'm glad that Ira hasn't felt the need to kaotao to the commercial, fake, plastic altar of J.J. Abrams just because he seems to have won the popularity contest in Hollywood. Star Trek is dead. Only someone of Ira Steven Behr's integrity could revive it. Paramount is governed by the worst instincts. They'd turn it into Heroes if they could.

Honestly, he's got a bizarre duality - one day he's thankful to Trek for everything it gave him, the next he's denying that it had any effect on his career whatsoever.
