I Quickly Said That, Because Of My Loyalty To 'star Trek' And Also Just Being A Fan, I Wouldn’t Even Want To Be Involved In The Next Version Of Those Things. I Declined Any Involvement Very Early On. I’d Rather Be In The Audience Not Knowing What Was Coming, Rather Than Being Involved In The Minutiae Of Making Them.

I Love Stories Where The Impossible Appears Believable, Plausible And Real. Maybe It's Silly, But It's One Of The Reasons Michael Crichton's Writing Always Appealed To Me: He Took Outlandish Ideas And Made Them Seem Completely Within The Realm Of Possibility. I Remember Reading "jurassic Park" And Feeling Like: "oh, Yeah - No, That's Totally Happening Right Now. They're Bringing Back Dinosaurs!"

I'd Love To Do A Movie Where The Monster Is Human, Where The Issue Is Not Otherworldly, Or Horror Or Science Fiction.
