Just when we were being told that the first script for Star Trek was good, Roberto Orci has surfaced online to announce that the second draft is even better.
Orci Updates Star Trek XI Script Details
Not only is the story better, but Orci tells TrekMovie that the new script pulls the 'heroes' out of the spotlight to give more focus on the film's villain.
TrekMovie.com: So I understand you recently completed the second big draft of the script. How different is this one from the original?
Roberto Orci: It is better. It is tighter. The villain is much better; in a first draft you tend to focus on your heroes. And I got to say that a lot of the things we read on TrekMovie.com contributed to the second rewrite.
TrekMovie.com: J.J. [Abrams] has said the film is Spock-centric, but does the young Kirk have as big a role as Quinto’s Spock?
Roberto Orci: Totally! It is Lennon and McCartney. However Spock’s role is key in that we also have Nimoy. Having said that Kirk is Star Trek and he is as essential.
Check out the entire interview with Orci at TrekMovie.
Star Trek XI opens to theaters on December 25th, 2008.
