Thanks to TrekMovie.com for posting <a href=\"http:\/\/trekmovie.com\/2008\/08\/22\/kevin-smith-sort-of-reviews-star-trek\/\" title=\"TrekMovie.com: Kevin Smith (Sort of) Reviews Star Trek\">this excerpt from a radio interview<\/a> with Kevin&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n  <strong>Host<\/strong>: So thumbs up on <em>The Watchmen<\/em>, what else you got?<\/p>\n<p>  <strong>Smith<\/strong>: I saw a movie last night that I cannot talk about.<\/p>\n<p>  <strong>Host<\/strong>: Was it good?<\/p>\n<p>  <strong>Smith<\/strong>: It was phenomenal.<\/p>\n<p>  <strong>Host<\/strong>: Any stars, any break out stars, and do they trek?<\/p>\n<p>  <strong>Smith<\/strong>: The stars absolutely trek in this film. It is fantastic. Anybody who was worried doesn\u2019t need to be worried\u2013about this film I cannot talk about\u2026It was in very capable hands. The director did a phenomenal job\u2013the director and his crew. Top notch cast and the guy that plays the lead is an instant star. That dude is going to be so famous. He is so wonderful. He picked up a role that I would say is pretty challenging for someone to step into the shoes of, because it is a role that has been played before many times by the same guy.<\/p>\n<p>  <strong>Host<\/strong>: How do you out Shatner, Shatner?<\/p>\n<p>  <strong>Smith<\/strong>: I don\u2019t know what you are talking about.<\/p>\n<p>  <strong>Host<\/strong>: I was just saying that as an expression.<\/p>\n<p>  <strong>Smith<\/strong>: Yes, absolutely, in a world of expressions, I would agree with that&#8230;I am so not good with this game, you are going to bury me man.<\/p>\n<p>  <strong>Host<\/strong>: We had you on before <em>The Dark Knight<\/em> and I remember asking you if you could direct a movie like <em>Dark Knight<\/em> and you said \u2018hell no\u2019 it was so far out of your sphere&#8230;but I bring that up to preface this. Let\u2019s say a franchise like <em>Star Trek<\/em>, not that you have seen the movie or we are talking about the movie, but we are talking about it for example. That is something that is so dangerous to attempt. Is that the kind of project you would like to do? Would you like to be the guy who gets to do a movie like that?<\/p>\n<p>  <strong>Smith<\/strong>: I would not like to be the guy. In the case of something like <em>Star Trek<\/em>, it would take a really insanely talented filmmaker\u2013storyteller. Like in the case of <em>Star Trek<\/em>, JJ Abrams. So leave it to the people who are best equipped for it. I am just the guy who should be watching those movies.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Really.
