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.
That’s interesting. Toronto often fills in for other major metros that are more expensive to film in like Chicago or New York relatively effortlessly. San Francisco seems more difficult to fill in for. I’m interested in how they pull it off as a local Torontonian. I’m hopeful to see random locations I know when they venture off the campus.
Either that or it’s just going to all be inside Pinewood itself. From what I understand it has some of the largest stage space available in the region.
It’s worth noting that CBS opened their own Toronto studio after Discovery debuted, so I’m not sure whether they’ll keep using Pinewood. I’m pretty sure SNW films at the new facility.

I would love to tour the studio one day.

I think you mean not San Francisco.
