He has absolutely no respect for roddenberry's vision and legacy.
As for berman he was fired by viacom for the failure of both nemesis and enterprise.
The new star trek movie is under new management hence the removal of the rick berman story and berman's idea to have meyer direct it, this was going to be the first war between earth and romulas set sometime in the future after enterprise.
Now they want the young days of spock and kirk and for J.J. Abrams to write it and possibly direct it.
That being said I am strongly apposed to them doing anything to the original star trek, leave the special effects alone for god's sake they were good for the time and have a lot to do with the flavor of that show. They could track down the elements and study up on how they were originally done to restore them but beyond that is stupid.
I mean it's supposed to look 60's what's next replacing the cardboard sets with cgi ones the cheap warbrobe with cgi, the fake looking monsters and aliens and even william shatner's acting and sideburns?
How about they instead release the original version of city on the edge of forever with the music uncut.
as for a trek revival
People from the earlier days of trek could be brought in to help out in various creative ways. Leonard Nimoy or William Shatner, Judith and Garfield reeves-stevens. How about involving majel barret and her son.
And by the way i can tell the difference between a film shot in tradiotional methods from a digital cgi shot, and filmed models look less fake. I hate this digital world we live in now where all the movies look too fake with crappy cgi, and shot on digital video. Any cinematographer worth his salt knows motion picture film is better than digital video.
If this is the future then I say "Fight the future" . I'm starting to see a partern with the de-evolution of science fiction and movies and it's good old georgie's fault and is the downside to the success of star wars.
You don't believe me then read star wars on trial, it's got some good arguments for and against star wars. I tended to agree with stover but david brin made some brilliant points.
