New Star Trek Character Revealed in Production Meeting?

News, Projects, Rumors

Though the sequel to J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek won’t arrive until June 2012, production meetings have already started for the project. In a Sunday article of The New York Times about the advantageous uses of Apple’s iPad in Hollywood, it revealed a specific character that was brought up in a discussion between J.J. Abrams, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman among others.

Last month at a meeting in Hollywood, it was time to plot out the sequel to “Star Trek,” last year’s blockbuster reboot of the sci-fi franchise.

The attendees all brought smartphones — gadgets far more powerful than the videophones imagined by the “Star Trek” writers 40 years ago. Bob Orci brought something the writers back then could only dream of: an iPad.

Mr. Orci, meeting with the producers J. J. Abrams, Damon Lindelof and Bryan Burk, and his fellow writer Alex Kurtzman, jump-started the discussion with an iPad slide show, showing stills from the first film, snapshots of potential locations and a photo of a suggested actress for one of the roles. On the woman’s photo, he had used his iPad to paint on a Vulcan ear.
