Doing it Right

"What was a little daunting," (Alex) Kurtzman said about writing Star Trek XI, "was while we were writing it, they sent over a poster with the release date on it. We hadn't written ‘fade in' yet."
I read the above in an article in the New York Times about the newest Star Trek movie. Which is, basically, a re-imagining of the franchise and all of Star Trek, which is disturbing enough—let alone forcing somewhat competent filmmakers to try and get it done by a pre-established date! Does anyone in Hollywood believe in doing things right anymore?
A delicate piece of cinematic and television history and a pop culture icon for 40 years is at play here, why not do it right instead of aiming to get it out fast. As both a Star Trek fan and cinema fan, I say do not rush things, do them properly—in the end your audience (new and old) will appreciate you.
My newest film Ashita is taking much longer than we had all hoped, and I am forced with difficult decisions in cutting out scenes and characters, but what is foremost in my mind is doing what’s right for the movie. I absolutely refuse to rush my brilliant editor (Andy Bely) into rushing a cut, just so I can appease people and show them a finished film. I am still shooting and writing some scenes, because in the end I want Ashita to be done properly. I want to be loyal to the message I want to send. And I believe that the audience will appreciate the movie because of that.
