- This is something I found on the internet by accident while searching for something else related to Nemesis. This clip features short interviews with director Stuart Baird, and actors Brent Spiner (Data) and Marina Sirtis (Troi).
For those of you who want to go straight to a particular person's section, Brent starts at 2:07, and Marina starts at 2:55. I believe this was a British interviewer; hence Marina sounding more British than usual. :) - บันเทิง
I like how Sirtis can't entirely contain her contempt for Baird, despite the fact that is supposed to be a promotial interview. Baird by all accounts appears to be a shitty director.
He knew nothing about Star Trek and hated having to do the 10th movie in an established series.
US Marshals was actually enjoyable for what it was so it was really insane to find out the guy who made that also directed a snuff film (Nemesis)
She did concede later that the 'method to the madness' of not watching the show was to give a 'fresh take' on the series but doing that for the 4th Next Gen movie was the wrong time to do that.
I met Marina Sirtis and spoke to her briefly and she genuinely says it how it is, no BS!
Braid: "It was great working with Brent and the rest of the cast, we had a great time."
Brent: "Stuart was a pain."
This cracked me up so much oml. He said he was joking but I kinda doubt it.
Jonathan Frakes should have directed Nemesis...
I guess after Insurrection they wanted a change as they were considering LaVar Burton instead before the studio gave it to Stuart Baird.
I didn't think the clone looked that much like Picard...I had to REALLY use my imagination... his lips were way too thick. When he showed up, I felt like I was supposed to know who he was, but I kept guessing until they said clone. (well I had an idea it was supposed to be picard after the conversation, but quite confused at first)
Great vid! I love how Marina is so honest! Have you noticed how Baird is so sure of himself while the actors who have worked with him always take Baird down a notch. Good editor--poor director!
As soon as he said “on the Star Trek enterprise… deck” as opposed to just the bridge, you knew this would be a train wreck.
I love how it says "Stuart Baird "Director""; his job title in quotation marks. Very befitting of someone who was seemingly trying to get Dr. Evil in his movie.
marina and brent are always honest about everything, shows they were not happy with the director
Stuart Baird was the ONLY good director in the Star Trek movies.
@@mr.metamovies2419 Nicholas Meyer and Leonard Nimoy? I'd even argue Robert Wise did well with the script he had.
@@mr.metamovies2419 Even Shatner was a better director lol.
@@Hb1290Logos Nicholas Meyer is overrated, stiff, and snobby. Robert Wise was tied second-best director with Shatner.
when Marina was saying that it was a good movie and that he was right in the end, that's really code for 'he was wrong and the movie sucks'.
@TheJoEker19 She's English. Of Greek descent, but born and raised in London; hence, the accent.
Thanks for uploading, you certainly have a treasure trove of uploads!
Made me chuckle when Marina said "I hate to say this 'cause I'm a woman... as you can see (!)... but he was right."
spiner was telling the truth at the start of it.
Stuart Baird; the man who DESTROYED TNG franchise.
His lack of Star Trek knowledge - or even simple facts - made him the most idiotic choice to helm this project.
'Hmmm, we need a really good picture, so, let's get people who've no familiarity - that way they'll bring fresh ideas.'
Tick, tick-BOOM!
Just looking at the garbage he'd been involved with beforehand shows he's nothing but a hack(on Wikipædia as well as here, he proudly announces he's cut - edited - more films than he's directed. So, why would any idiot think he was a good choice?).
I wouldn't let Baird take video wit my phone, let alone have him make a multi-million $ film.
Nick Meyer didn't have Star Trek knowledge and he made the best trek movies. Baird was saddled with a bad script and rick Berman
And some of the best film directors of all time started as editors
@@Grant25 The script was fine except for the WMD and bat shit. Ironically, the renowned editor turned director's final cut sucked.
Nemesis is still the best Star Trek movie!
Now that criticism is completely unwarranted. Just because you didn't like his direction, does not automatically mean he didn't make a good film. Even Marina Sirtis admits in the end that Baird was right his own direction and the film turned out well.
Baird's a terrific editor - Superman: The Movie and Casino Royale are testament to this. A terrific Trek director though? Not at all.
+psifla But, as Sirtis has said, Stuart seems to be a bit of a Jerkass. I think Robert Downey Jr. also said he was kind of a schmuck while making U.S. Marshals.
It cut out too much.
The last time they made the mistake of having a gentile director.
OK, just finished watching Nemesis. Now I'm going to pretend that I didn't just watch my favorite sci-fi characters get violated by Stuart Baird.
EXACTLY
How much better this movie could have been without Staurt Baird!
Wow. This certainly was before the movie tanked because Marina has criticized Baird heavily in the years since Nemesis. So has Burton.
They did a great job picking up Tom Hardy. This movie might have gotten him into the sci-fi scene, but his overall work is what has made him an amazing actor. Still love watching this and then Mad Max/Rev to see how far he came.
See? Marina admits that Stuart Baird was right and the movie was turned out great in the end!
Why didn't Jonathan Frakes direct Nemesis? He's a great director and he has actually been a part of TNG.
The powers that be simply didnt approach him. Serious mistake. In an interview JF didnt know the reasons why the studio decided on Baird but stated the film would have been very different and successful if he had directed it.
They wanted someone more than a TV director
+Jake Jarmel The criticism of the movies is that they tend to play like extended TV episodes. But I think that's preferable to trying to be a proper movie that fails because both the characters' relative lack of arc and the too-malleable in-universe rules of physics overstretch credibility.
Agreed. First Contact (1996) and Insurrection (1998) were both masterpieces. It blows me away that Frakes' directing services were not secured by the franchise for the next film installment. I was a kid who grew up with TNG and was generally oblivious to these types of details back when it was happening, but nevertheless it humbles me to this day that I always thought of Frakes as a solid acting talent, but never (until now) appreciated him for the prodigious director that he turned out to be.
But since rediscovering the series as an adult (Thank you #Netflix + #Hulu), it has become a deeply rewarding thrill and deeply rewarding to see how well the show holds up. It's almost better with time, like a fine wine. As for my personal experience as a fan, I love and appreciate it even more. Maturity and the passage of time has proven just how timeless #TNG truly is.
Getting back to my original point, Frakes is not just a talented actor, but a masterful directing talent. I watched FC + I recently and they flattened me.- just blew me away, technically, artistically, and thematically. Some films really do achieve frame by frame perfection, and Frakes does it twice- and in radically different ways. These two films were sisters, but they were not twins. Why this precious commodity - a beloved franchise and cultural institution - was placed into other (Baird) hands is beyond me. It saddens me deeply. While I maintain that as fans, we can forgive the series a flaw or an occasional artistic failure - after all, we can't expect a homerun from every at bat, or a touch down on every drive, or 100% shooting from the floor - I , like you, am perplexed about why the powers that be went in this direction with the film.
Oh well, I have more to treasure about the rest of the series and the other fine films.
Here's a funny fact: LeVar Burton was briefly considered to direct since he's directed a ton of episodes across all the shows. But Paramount went over his head and installed Baird, who repeatedly called him "Laverne" through early shooting. Baird hasn't directed a film since, but guess who sits on the board of the Director's Guild?
LeVar Burton.
Not saying that has anything to do it, other hand irony is sweet.
YEAH SIRITIS !!!! PUNCH BAIRD'S LIGHTS OUT !!!!
Amen!
Brent Spiner, when he's not playing Data, sounds like Patrick Steward but without the English accent.
I would love for the cast to get together ONE LAST TIME to do ONE LAST ST MOVIE!
It would be interesting to see Johnathan Franks and Marina Sirtis reprise their roles since theire last time doing so in the ENT finale. Too bad TNG movie 5 won't happen in the near future.
She's English, but she's spent a lot of time in the US and (as an English person) I can tell she has a bit of an American twang.
@TheJoEker19 She's Greek and English. I've loved her Interview in Greece where she spoke Greek perfectly.
The whole B4 story and the mind rape were terrible ideas, especially since B4 can potentially negate the finality of the sacrifice.
@CreativeCanberran Yeah definitely dude, the director apparently never saw an actual TNG episode until accepting the job, not sure if he even did after he got the job.
Ah, Stuart Baird .. the man who killed Star Trek.
Yes. That was a derp on me.
She only did that because she was being paid! In the long run, Marina along with her colleagues were right! Funny how a paycheck makes one say the strangest things!
Baird directed two movies rather solidly before and brought a bigger scale to nemesis than frakes with his TV style. He should've paid more attention though, made Patrick play shinzon and brought in someone else to rewrite the script
Do you mean Hardy (as in Tom Hardy), as opposed to Brady?
@FLAME4564 This is very true. I shudder to think of what it would have come out like. Then again Abrams was going for something completely different, since Kirk and Spock's timelines were already set.
Dang this movie came out nine years ago, and I am still not over Datas death. It's like we were friends or brother and sister you know, I grew up on TNG so I felt a "closeness" to all of the characters. I am sixteen but all my dad watched was star trek and TNG is the best so losing data was like losing a family member. I know this is all science fiction but all you Trekkies must understand...right. Oh heck who am I kidding? Its not the real world. I love you data and you will always be in my he
"The Star Trek Enterprise" - We all know someone who has never really watched startrek say this... we would never ask them what made good Trek, why on earth did Paramount?!
Stuart Baird single handedly destroyed the TNG franchise.
Levar wanted to direct this movie and paramount should have let him
What a shabby fucking final edit Stuart Baird was responsible for. And who's bright idea was the WMD and bat shit?
Problem with that Era was that CG wasent all that good since technology was expensive (still is). And they had to improvise. Remember TNG episode when Picard dies and Q brings him back in time to change that ? Well they used an actor that was NOT bald and looked nothing like him. Back in the 90's people hated the young look of Picard. I like the Nemesis version better ;)
2:25 fingers crossed... lol
To quote a Vorta from DS9: "Shoot them both"
I don't blame Baird, I blame the bad script. It was honestly worse than Star Trek 5 or even Insurrection, which was pretty hard to top in the bad Star Trek movies category but Nemesis managed to pull it off. Thanks to Nemesis is why we now have that Abrams Star Wars/Trek hybrid of a flick.
I do think that bringing in an unknown director was a poor choice for Nemesis. I also believe the story was too similar to several of the episodes (finding Lore, finding the female android). I also felt as if the story could have been stronger if they had not brought in a clone of Picard. If you recall in the series Spock was still on Romulus and the underground movement was strong. I think those are a few of the reasons fans did not go see the film in big numbers.
I thought Nemesis was the best of the 4 TNG films personally.
@happyhead64 yeah, and why does Deanna have that accent and her mother doesnt?
I thought the movie was awful-it looked like they just threw it together. And then Data DIES, on top of that, all the mourning they did for him was to raise their glasses of whatever-it-was and say something like "To those who are no longer with us????"
Makes sense now that I read that the director did not even bother to watch any of TNG episodes or listen to what the cast had to say about their characters..
TNG deserved better than this...maybe in an alternate universe....
My bad... I meant Star Trek 5 and Insurrection. I hate both of those movies with a passion and actually like Star trek 3 alot.
Rick Berman, Brannon Braga and Stuart Baird - all responsible for nearly destroying the Star Trek franchise.
+Adam Johnson I'd agree with you about Stuart Baird, but Brannon Braga was one of the series' best writers. And Rick Berman did a great job of keeping Star Trek going after Gene Roddenberry died; and, in fact, he was calling a lot of the shots even before Gene died, when his health was declining. Berman was the one at least partially responsible for bring Star Trek TNG into the movies, and for 2 great (in my opinion) spinoff series. Or 3 series, if he was involved with Enterprise; I can't remember.
bnewall1 I agree that Rick Berman should be credited with the success TNG and Brannon Braga also as a writer (amongst many others). DS9 also was a great series and again Berman and Braga were a big part of that. Voyager as a whole was ok but inconsistant. There were very few character arc's, Robert Beltran was poorly cast as Chakotay, Garrett Wang as Harry Kim was questionable. Nelix was an unnecessary character (Kes too). Both Berman and Braga created, exec-produced and served as writers for Voyager and also Enterprise (not sure about being writers on ENT?) which in my opinion wasnt cast very well. The theme music was wrong and too many bad VFX. Despite the above bashing there are many, many positives for all the series that far out-weigh the negatives. I just feel the franchise lost its way and ended on a low - ultimately responsible for that is Berman and Braga and Stuart Baird for directing Nemesis.
Baird directed the movie as well as possible. It was a bad script with poor casting. Producer rick Berman should be most responsible for insurrection and nemesis
Adam Johnson 1 out of 3 baird was awful the otter two were great
While I think Brady is a good actor, I'm just not wild on focusing on the bald part of Picard as a resemblance. It just seems too...easy.
He actually did quite like him or a younger version of him...stop being a hater kid!
Star Trek 3 was a good bridge between wrath of khan and voyage home. Not the most "fun" film, but...
@misterbateman808 lol
@fredrika27 Yeah Nemesis sucked bad, the story was the biggest problem, the directing was not good. Insurrection had a weak story too but somehow it wasnt as bad as Nemesis
@outrageouslycrazy1 u have a point but lets face it on the other side at least he didint take star trek on that same path as JJ Abrams has just did
@painkiller1968 allot of people, previous fans, and newbies, have enjoyed the recent star trek movie. now as a trek person who knows allot about it i understand your annoyance. but as someone who can break myself away from that, the movie is fun. it has all sorts of problems, but over all it is a fun movie.
the story and the look of the enemies and their monstership was total shit. but the fighting was really really impressive.
Baird ruined this
@misterbateman808 But u wouldn't say no wud you lol
Frakes should have directed. Baird was a terrible choice.
Did she just say that she is a woman? How dare she assume her gender.
Not a single TNG movie rose above the level of complete garbage. But Nemesis actively tries to kill your family.
What about First Contact? Ive always really liked it.
It's the least offensive of them, but still filth. Violates all the characters' personalities, and the show's philosophy of humanism.
3rd worst movie in the franchise after Star Trek 3 and Insurrection.
The movie was terrible. It bombed, deservedly so.
Baird was a terrible director...absolutely horrible, and knowing that he didn't know how Star Trek worked made it that much worse because any other director would have sat down and researched it to make sure they got it right. Not Baird though.
Terrible movie.
The director sucked....pure and simple.
Worst TNG movie. Only Trek movie worse than this was the J.J. Abrams garbage.
Nemesis was awful.. yuck.
