James Cawley, Executive Producer of Star Trek New Voyages talks about the new Paramount Star Trek movie and his encounter with J.J. Abrams on the set.
Before meeting Abrams, Cawley had some trepidation about the idea of making a new film dealing with such iconic characters from the original series before they became the famous characters most of us grew up with. However, after sitting side by side with Abrams on the set while shooting was taking place, and spending a good deal of time speaking with him and learning about Abrams’ vision for the future of the franchise, Cawley is confident, relieved and assured that Star Trek is now in good hands.
I ask you... HOW LUCKY CAN ONE GUY GET?!?!?! Wow. James Cawley is like the coolest guy on the planet now. J.J. Abrams could be the new coolest director in Hollywood. That is high respect for a fan film maker.
I agree with you Jim, some guys have all the luck...
J.J. sounds cool, and this helps further alleviate some fears. I'm a TNG man for the most part, but I don't want further destruction of the canon, and I hope that this doesn't do too much damage. I'm sure that it's going to be a FUN movie, either way though. J.J. and his writers know what they're doing.
