Interview with J.J. Abrams About ‘Star Trek XI’
Trek Movie scored a Web chat session on Friday with Star Trek XI director J.J. Abrams, who was intermittently joined by members of the creative team and cast, all of whom were participating in the online chat between filming on the movie’s Enterprise bridge set. (That’s a photo at right sent to the chat of Abrams on the bridge!)
During the chat, it was revealed that production is scheduled to wrap at the beginning of April, a full trailer is planned for theatrical release in early to mid summer, and, yes, the doors on the ship will go “SWOOSH”! (Nice!!!)
In the teaser trailer that debuted last week, the Enterprise is seen being built in a ground-based drydock, which is not consistent with Star Trek lore. This has been a cause of concern for Trek fans. When asked if it’s possible we’d see the ship completed in space at the San Francisco Orbital Yard, executive producer/co-writer Roberto Orci replied:
Without giving anything away, nothing in the teaser precludes final assembly in space.
