J.J. Abrams reveals that he wanted an AKB48 idol in the cast for Star Trek
Casey Baseel
The famed Hollywood director was ready to set his phaser to “ idol. ”
With his involvement as a director and producer for both the Star Wars and Star Trek movie franchises, J.J. Abrams already his fingers in some very big pies. But if he’d had his every wish, Abrams would have not only been the envy of sci-fi fanboys, but idol otaku as well.
To promote Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Abrams recently appeared on Japanese talk show Mezamashi TV. It’s sort of a media tradition in Japan to ask visiting foreign celebrities if they have any interest in Japanese traditional or pop culture, and the interviewer, perhaps armed with inside information, asked the Star Wars director if he liked Japanese idol singers.
While he may not be buying idol CDs in bulk and lining up for hand shake events, it turns out that Abrams has indeed been to an idol unit concert. As a matter of fact, he went to a performance by the biggest idol unit: AKB48.
Several years ago, while working on the Star Trek reboot that would be released in 2009, Abrams was taken by a Japanese acquaintance to see AKB48 perform live at the group’s theater in Akihabara, Tokyo’s otaku mecca. He said the performance was amazing, and that he was so impressed by the idols’ stage presence that he found himself wanting to add one of the energetic idols to Star Trek’s cast.
A Japanese Enterprise crew member wouldn’t have been unprecedented, as series regular Hikaru Sulu has a Japanese given name and was played for three decades by Japanese-American actor George Takei.
Alas, the collaboration never came to be, for reasons unspecified. Still, given the fact that Abrams now holds the reigns to two movie franchises set in racially diverse worlds, we can still hope for a J.J./AKB team-up in the future.
Baca kat Wiki Enterprise jahanam diorang stranded kat sebuah planet dan strory line berkisar tentang camne nak lepas dari planet tu disamping berdepan alien yg ganas tahap gaban sampai Enterprise jahanam.. hadooii
Klu Star Wars aku minat Millennium Falcon dalam Trek aku lebih teruja melihat kecanggihan Entreprise tapi dah jahanam harap berbaloi menunggu..
baca kt reddit review kt situ ramai yg cakap best. sblm tu ramai yg speku sbb pengarah fast to furious yg mengarah filem ni jadi ala ala mind numbing action flick je. so ramai gak yg terkejut movie ni masih mengekalkan ciri ciri star trek tu
dah nonton mobie ni tgh hari tadi ...
okie ler ... best ler jugek ...
suker the bromance moment in between kirk n spock....
dan Mr. Sulu tue ... dalam citer ni ... spesis cik gayah keww??? hahahahaha
dah tgk semalam
aku suka cerita ni
dialog dan skrip dia memang sains sangat
tiada kuasa kuasa mengarut, kerjasama di antara kru kru yang berjaya menyelamatkan diorang
bukan bertumpu kepada kehebatan kapten sahaja
banyak filem2 underperform.. yg cross 1 billion pun hanya Civil War dgn Zootopia.. itu pon katanya Civil Way still underperform sebab end up bawah Iron Man 3..
Beyond mungkin akan kutip paling rendah dalam franchise baru Star Trek , TAPI aku harap2 sangat ada sequel sebab Star Trek baru ni tak pernah mengeciwakan aku.. i love every moment of it and lurvee the crew!!
walau iols bukan la Trekkie, tp iols folo gak la Trek ni nyer movie ... sbb my bff mmg trekkie and we both kaki wayang, so secara tak langsung iols pun terfolo jugak ....
lagi2 kali ni sebak tiap kali tgk Anton Yelchin as Chekov ..... huhu...
mcm tak cayer je dia dah takder ....
but berbalik pada the whole movie, mmg menghiburkan ...actions tip top, effect pun best ....
chemistries antara pelakon2 pun superb ....
n yes mcm yg some of you kat cni mentioned, Sulu tu gayah eh? hahaah .... looks like that kan ....
sulu digayahkan sbb as s tribute utk pelakon asal die yg real life gay. tp pelakon asal die pun tak setuju sbb watak tu straight siap ada anak, kalau digayahkan pun tak memberi apa apa sumbangan pun pd komuniti gay. gitu
