JJ Abrams Speaks more about a Star Trek Sequel

Star Trek II (Star Trek XII) or Star Trek 12!

Last we heard from JJ Abrams was that Star Trek 2 needed to be an allegory to societal issues of today much like Rodenberry’s vision was so many years ago. “It needs to do what [the late 'Trek' creator Gene] Roddenberry did so well, which is allegory.

It needs to tell a story that has connection to what is familiar and what is relevant. It also needs to tell it in a spectacular way that hides the machinery and in a primarily entertaining and hopefully moving story.

There needs to be relevance, yes, and that doesn’t mean it should be pretentious. If there are simple truths — truths connected to what we live — that elevates any story — that’s true with any story.”
