Roddenberry on recasting

Roddenberry on recasting
from 1981 letter to the fans regarding the death of Spock controversy in the
upcoming Star Trek II, taken from "Star Trek:Creator - The Authorized
Biography of Gene Roddenberry"

Even if Nimoy never plays Spock again, I think it would be wonderful years
from now to see Star Trek come back with an equally talented new cast
playing Spock and Kirk and Bones and Scotty and all the rest as they say
tomorrow's things to tomorrow's generations.

So much for the continual fanboi cry of "sacrilege" and "Roddenberry would
never do that!"

Ah, but Roddenberry was only writing to "the fans", not to all *true* fans.

If they thought they could have re-cast those rolls and got away with it,
Roddenbery would have had a bunch of cheaper actors working years ago.
But half the ticket buyers would have gone to see the latest Star Wars Movie
instead.

I'm no fanboi, but without the original Kirk, Spock, and Bones, there never
would have been any Star Trek movie in the first place.

So. I assume this means you believe in actually paying attention to
direct Roddenberry quotes?

Hey hey - I'm not saying that it will be a "failure". I tried to say that -
**based upon historical prescient of the last 10 years of Trek** - the
results will be a movie "not very promising" ;-)

Take it easy on me, OK? ^_^ It can still be a tremendous success, I'm just
saying that the odds might be against it.
