George Takei denounced Sulu's conversion to homosexual
Hakiru Sulu performer in the original Star Trek TV series, George Takei, denounced his hero's transformation into a homosexual in Star Trek 3: Infinity. The actor spoke about this in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. "Of course, I'm glad that such a character will appear. But this is a distortion of Gene's original intention (Eugene Roddenberry, creator of the" Star Trek "series -" Movie News "note) regarding this character. I think this is very sad, "said the actor, emphasizing that Roddenberry has always considered Sulu to be heterosexual. Moreover, as Takei clarified, in the novel "The Captain's Daughter", released in 1995, there is a direct reference to Sulu's romantic relationship with the woman who became the mother of his daughter Dimora. According to the actor, he first learned about the creators' desire to change the sexual orientation of his character in 2015, when the current performer of the role of Sulu John Cho called him. "I told him then:" Show your imagination and create a new hero with a well-thought-out history of homosexual relationships, you should not do this with Sulu, who has always been heterosexual, and suddenly it turned out that he was lying all this time, "he added. Takei also said that he tried to convince the director of the movie, Justin Lin. "This movie is coming out in the 50th anniversary year of Star Trek, when viewers will be credited with Gene Roddenberry, whose concept has inspired us for half a century. Honor his memory, create a new character. I literally begged them. And by the way, he gave me understand that, most likely, it will be so ", - complained Takei. Note that the actor himself confessed in 2005 that he was gay. The Topic of Article: George Takei denounced Sulu's conversion to homosexual. |
