As reported by FilmJournal.com, Abrams wanted Star Trek XI to be familiar to fans yet the film needed to have an identity of its own. “My approach to the entire movie – from the writing, to the casting, to the wardrobe – was to take the spirit of what was written 43 years ago and tell that story through the prism of what is relevant and right for today,” Abrams explained. “I didn’t want the props to look like they were taken off the prop shelf from 1966, I didn’t want the design to look like we were [copying] what had been done, and I didn’t want the cast mimicking the original actors.
