Star Trek XI<\/i> is a bridge between the old and the new, according to Bruce Greenwood<\/b> (Captain Pike.)<\/p>\n
As reported by Eyeweekly.com<\/a>, having reverence for Star Trek<\/i> doesn’t mean one can’t put forth something new, but there was tension between that reverence and the need to add fresh material. “[Star Trek XI<\/i>] is a bridge between the old and the new, but…there is a lot of tension there,” said Greenwood. When reviewing old episodes of Star Trek<\/i>, Greenwood found that Star Trek<\/i> had depths to it that he hasn’t realized before. “On a writing level, they were interested in carrying forward these classical themes, which pervade the entire series,” he said. “And I didn’t realize that until I went back and looked at the episodes for homework. I thought it was just about pretty girls.”<\/p>\n “The scripts were about contemporary issues that weren’t being addressed anywhere else at the time,” said Greenwood. “Talking to Leonard Nimoy<\/b>, he says that was the thing that drove him to want to do the series. They were kind of creating characters on the fly, but their serious intentions were clear. So I feel a lot of responsibility [with Captain Pike], to give him more depth.”<\/p>\n To read more, head to the article located here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Star Trek XI is a bridge between the old and the new, according to Bruce…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2401],"tags":[2422,2409,2567],"class_list":["post-5616","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-star-trek-xi","tag-greenwood","tag-nimoy","tag-pike"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"T'Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"Star Trek: XI<\/a>","tag_info":"Star Trek: XI","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5616","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5616"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5616\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6926,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5616\/revisions\/6926"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5616"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5616"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5616"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
Getting it right was important, because “What’s at stake is the destiny of these characters,” said Greenwood. “You see the relationship [between Kirk and Spock] develop, and there’s a very, very distinct arc.”<\/p>\n
