Abrams<\/b> discussed how the characters of <i>Star Trek XI<\/i> went from strangers to the cohesive family of the original series and what that means for future <i>Star Trek<\/i>. <\/p>\n<p>As reported by <a href=\"http:\/\/trekmovie.com\/\">TrekMovie.com<\/a> taken from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/\">SciFiNow Magazine<\/a>, Abrams gave clues as to what might come next after <i>Star Trek XI<\/i>. &#8220;Yes, the five year mission begins at the end of this film,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;Not literally. I&#8217;m saying that at the end of the movie they&#8217;re ready for their five year mission, because this group, when they first come together in this film, is a disparate group. They don&#8217;t know each other, they&#8217;re just meeting for the first time. Kirk and Spock have a rather contentious beginning to their relationship, and by the end of this experience together, they have become this family. Each of them has put their lives in each other&#8217;s hands. By the end of the film, they are now this group that is ready to begin their adventure.&#8221;<!--more-->Bringing together <i>Star Trek XI<\/i>&#8216;s crew will hopefully bring in new fans or those who didn&#8217;t relate to <i>Star Trek<\/i> as well as traditional fans, by showing the evolution of the characters from those unknown individuals to the cohesive crew of the original series. &#8220;So for me, it was a way to take three groups of people, who represent the whole audience, and say, &#8216;Let&#8217;s bring everyone together and tell a story that starts at the beginning, when Kirk is unformed. When you meet him and he&#8217;s an aimless punk who goes to bars, drinks, picks up women, starts fights. Yet you know, and even the neophytes to Trek will watch and say, &#8216;Kirk? Isn&#8217;t he Captain Kirk? How does he go from here to there?&#8217; So for me, it&#8217;s giving people a way in to this world in a way it&#8217;s never been done.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There is more in <i>SciFiNow<\/i> issue #27, including a free <i>Star Trek<\/i> DVD, which contains interviews, exclusive clips, an interactive quiz and more.
