TrekMovie.com posted the first part of an extensive interview with Star Trek director J.J. Abrams and here is an excerpt.
TrekMovie: Looking at all the feedback on the film, was there any that you are most proud of? And also, any possible negative feedback that you took to heart, things you might want to change?
J.J. Abrams: Having read a lot and heart a lot, at the end of the day, the thing I am most happy about is that the thing that many were saying was insurmountable, that ‘how do you possibly recast this movie, how do you possibly have these characters live on without these original actors playing them?'. That that challenge seemed to have been met. That this cast was watchable, likeable, relatable, and the actors were talented enough, that that criticism was silenced and we were able to allow the crew of the Enterprise to live on with a new generation of actors. And that to me is the biggest accomplishment, which goes completely to the actors and the work that they did.
In terms of criticisms, I agree with almost every criticism I read. It is hard not to be hard on the work that you do. So when I hear someone say "Nero was not complicated enough" I say "yeah, that's right." Or if I hear "there are some moments-that crazy coincidence that Kirk meets Spock in the ice cave and that took me out of it", I can see that. I don't really hear much that I don't agree with. If someone were to say "Giacchino's music doesn't work" I would disagree with that, but that is a taste issue and you can't really account for that. So for the most part I am incredibly proud of the cast, really honored to be involved in this movie. It was an incredible experience.
The full interview, in which Abrams also talks about the DVD and Blu-Ray, is here.
