The Tribune posted a new interview with Star Trek writer Roberto Orci, and and here are few excerpts of the article.
The question is : do Orci and Alex Kurtzman create a fresh plot with never-before-seen characters and scenarios or -- because young Kirk and Spock are now part of an alternate timeline where the past has been altered -- do they introduce new versions of such popular villains as the Klingons or Khan? Orci recognizes each approach has its own merits.
Rebooting familiar elements appeals instantly to fans and attracts the attention of "the media-sphere," as he calls it.
"But on the other hand," he adds, "who doesn't love an original story?"
That they're even having this discussion is, they know, is no small feat. But the J. J. Abrams directed Trek has rejuvenated a franchise once believed dead, grossing more than $245 million so far in North America. (Compared to the $49 million 2002's Star Trek: Nemesis earned.)
"We'd hear that people thought Star Trek was too cold, that women didn't like it," Orci says. "But if you look at that period in the 1980s -- from Wrath of Khan to the Voyage Home -- those movies were very warm; they were about a family."
