Orci Talks Sequel Script Plans

While at Wondercon, Star Trek 2 writer Roberto Orci fielded a few questions about the script for the sequel that he and his writing partner Alex Kurtzman has been working on. He mentions listening to fan feedback that could be incorporated into the script, thoughts on some of the critism and more. It depends on the article but it seems the script is still being worked on, not sure if that means a draft has been turned in or not. Below are the key highlights:

From Coming Soon:

"Everyone said [Kirk] is too young to become Captain," he explains, "So maybe in the next movie, somebody goes, 'Man, you sure became Captain young and fast.' You start to incorporate people's opinions... If it's organic to the story and you find someone who doesn't think too highly of Kirk because he maybe skipped a few steps, that's maybe a fun thing to consider. That comes from a fan reaction and maybe gives you a story point."

"[Fans] wanted more character time with everybody," he adds, "and, because that was an origin story for 'Star Trek,' everyone had to come in at a certain point. Now everyone is going to be there from the beginning, so they're going to get that. Everyone sure hated engineering. They thought it looked like a brewery, which it was. I'll pass that on to J.J. [Abrams] and see what he says."
