I am off home shortly. I think I need another weekend at home, but while last week was a 007-oriented weekend, I’m in more of a star trek mood. I’m really looking forward to JJ Abrams’ Star Trek film, which opens next Friday. I don’t think I’ve been this nervous or ambivilant about a film since Lord of the Rings came to the screen: It looks like a complete reboot of the franchise so this could be either the final nail in Star Trek’s coffin, or its rebirth. It could go either way. Like a literary adaptation it must remain faithful to the original but at the same time reinvent it. I really hope the director succeeds, but I’m not sure it’s possible. Who knows, this could be the beginning of a new series, or sequence of films. Or it could be the last flight of the Enterprise before it’s placed in mothbsalls.
