Boldly Going to a Galaxy Far Far Away…
OK, I admit I haven’t seen Star Trek yet, but one can’t ignore it’s great reviews. So why is it so much better than previous franchise movies? Here’s the secret… Star Wars… turns out J.J. Abrams isn’t a huge Trek fan… in fact he openly prefers Star Wars!
Film Junkie reports:
Abrams actually prefers Star Wars to Star Trek! What’s more, they (the writers) actually admit that they set out to bring a Star Wars feel to the Star Trek universe.
Makes sense to me! In fact one of our team’s required interview questions is “Which do you prefer… Star Wars… or Star Trek?” Turns out that’s a pretty good question. J.J. Abrams… we don’t have any openings currently, but we could consider you for a future position if you’re interested…
I don’t remember being asked that question in my interview. I do remember telling Don Wilson — the pastor of a church that specifically targets men — that my favorite movie is “Pride and Prejudice”. In retrospect, perhaps “Braveheart” would have been a better answer.
By the way, I love the title of this post. Funny.
Thanks! Wish the guys on the team shared your sentiment. We did miss one or two people on the interview process. But we have used it for the last 4-5 years.
