I found the following article on CNN.com website which reads: “Acclaimed filmmaker J.J. Abrams was presented with a specific challenge when he agreed to direct this summer’s highly anticipated prequel to the phenomenally successful sci-fi franchise, “Star Trek.” He had to figure out a way to include action that would please a modern audience and utilize current movie-making techniques — while still having everything ring true with characters that fans know extremely well. He answers this call throughout his film.”
Check out CNN.com to read full article and watch the video – very interesting for the fans out there like myself.
