Interview: Alex Kurtzman On The Influence Of Fan Feedback And The Legacy Of ‘Star Trek: Discovery’

How much has the way you use the AR Wall changed the way you make Star Trek?

It’s changed a lot. It changes like every six months. And we’re even having conversations now about how to integrate it in Starfleet Academy slightly differently than what we’ve done on Strange New Worlds, Discovery, and Section 31. So it’s a huge tool. But like any digital tool, it needs to be used very thoughtfully. I think that what I like more than anything is to create a world that feels grounded. And sometimes it can sort of make you feel like you’re inside a video game. So we’re really trying hard to make sure that’s not the feeling.

It's a small thing, but I guess this confirms that SFA will film in Toronto, not LA.

I think you mean not San Francisco.
