Has "Rod" said anything about what Gene would've said about the film?

[gastrof]

I'm wondering if anyone who REALLY knew Gene (not dedicated fans who feel they've "read enough") has said anything about what HE would have said about this movie.

Anyone remember reading/hearing anything?

I'm guessing he's a fan:

"Rod Roddenberry to host Star Trek XI Screening in Avalon Theatre"

Joe, a fan

He invalidated his entire opinion by saying he doesn't care if the ship looks slightly different, damnit!!!!!!!!

Sorry if I come off slightly insensitive, but... What the fck does Gene has to do with all of this? He's not even alive anymore... He's dead, Jim. So I doubt he's got an opinion on all of this. Unless someone claims to channel him? And even if he were alive, I doubt his opinion would hold much weight. He started Star Trek, but people tend to drift away from things after a while.

And someone's son is rarely his father, so his son's statements also don't speak for his father, rather, for himself.

Because too many Trekkies are tied to Roddenberry's rather flawed vision, and would rather know that their hate, or love, is justified if a member of the Roddenberry family (yes, even though opinions of family members can differ) believes the same about something that they do.

I met Halle Berry once, I believe I've influenced her choice of films to make thereafter.

And I do agree with you. I'm sure in 1966 no one cared what Bob Kane and Bill Finger thought of the Adam West Batman series.

No one was asking Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster in the 1950s for their opinion on the George Reeves live action Superman series.

Conversley do you think Dave Michelene and Todd MacFarlane were even CONSULTED for Venom's apperance in Spider-Man 3? No, I really don't think so. Not even sure if they even get residuals from Sony because their creation appears in the movie.
