Roxann Dawson was an actor on Star Trek: Voyager before she became a TV director, although she's never actually directed a Star Trek episode.
Interesting extract from a longer /Film interview with in-demand director Roxann Dawson.
I appreciate how she speaks with respect for the shows of the new era.
You're viewing a single thread.
I'm glad she's getting work, but I wish it wasn't on that dumpster fire.
Edit: I guess I found the Goyer fanboys. Foundation sucks and is a slap in the face to the legacy of Asimov and classic Sci-Fi. "Foundation can't be adapted..." Then fucking don't and leave it alone. I hope Michael Bay gets tapped to start directing 1:1 adaptations of Star Trek I-V, and then they do an animated version of VI with Justin Roiland recording all of the voices.
I don't even like Asimov's work (his characters are awful) and what I watched of the first season of Foundation was pretty bad. I can't imagine what fans of his books must've thought.
I was hoping an adaption that shored up his weaknesses in characterization while finally showing me what all the fuss was about, and I didn't get that at all.
