VOYAGER actor-turned-director
Robert Duncan McNeill spoke with the UK's STAR TREK Monthly recently about his latest STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE directorial outing, "Twilight." The interview was conducted while the episode, which will air November 11th, was in pre-production.
"'Holy crap how are we going to do that?'" McNeill recalls saying when he first read the script in exerpts available at
TrekToday. "[It] looks to be a really challenging show to do...right now it reads as if Enterprise is [going to be] destroyed."
McNeill says that the script called for the roof to be blown off the bridge and crewmen to fly into space, scenes that may be difficult to pull off.
"Things change dramatically once you actually get into prepping a show. You realise you can't afford things or you realise something is just impossible to shoot," he told the mag.
The director revealed that "Twilight" will also feature 'Silik' and tie into the Temporal Cold War: "This is jumping into the future with Archer and seeing something that he does that affects the timeline, as well as affecting the past and affecting all sorts of other things, in terms of big issues with hunanity and civilization ans also interpersonal relationships."
