JJ Abrams Says Recasting Khan Will Be A Challenge!
Although nothing has been confirmed with regards to plotlines for JJ Abrams next Star Trek adventure, the smart money seems to be on some kind of re-imagining of Star Trek 2: Wrath of Khan.
So far, Abrams has been reluctant to rule out a Khan appearance in the next movie, indeed, a movie where the Khan story is retold seems the obvious direction that the Star Trek sequel should take…
MTV recently caught up with JJ and asked him about Khan.
This is what he said…
“I think one of the by-products of doing this movie was we were able to dispel the obvious and understandable concerns – how can Star Trek possibly exist without those original cast members?”
He went on to add…
“Now that we are in a parallel existence with what fans of the original series love so much, we could introduce any number of characters, settings, references and situations that the original series introduced. Dealing with Khan would certainly be a challenge, but we had an equal challenge in finding our crew of the Enterprise.”
Personally, although a Khan movie would be kind of cool, I can’t see why JJ Abrams needs to cherry pick from the Star Trek cannon, surely this is his chance to create something new, someone more iconic than Khan?
I really wish he’d just concentrate on creating his own icons…
