Anson Mount recalls recording Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' opening monologue while William Shatner was actually in space. As the Captain of the Starship Enterprise in Strange New Worlds, Mount is the latest to voice over Star Trek's classic opening speech, "Space... the final frontier..." over the show's opening credits.
Speaking to Moovy TV alongside his Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' cast mate, Rebecca Romijn, Anson Mount told the story of recording Star Trek's iconic opening monologue and how he took the time to recognize the serendipity of doing so while William Shatner was in space. Read Mount's quote and watch Moovy TV's interview video hosted by Johan Albrechtsen below:
Anson Mount: It’s actually a good story because it wasn’t a recording booth. We were still under lockdown, so what they did is they sent me this box of recording equipment that I could use at home. And so, I was in my basement, the technical team operating this box was in New York, and the post production team was in Los Angeles. And we were really spending a lot of time on that monologue trying to get it exactly right because you’ve got one shot at it.
So we were working on it, working on it, working on it, and piecing this sentence to that sentence, and there were these little pauses that were happening as they were building it. And I said, ‘Guys, can we just take a moment to realize here that we’re gonna remember this moment for the rest of our professional lives. That we got to record this monologue.
And then I realized, and I said, ‘Of course, y’all realize that William Shatner is in orbit right now.’ And he was. This was while he was in orbit with Jeff Bezos, we were recording that monologue. I mean, you couldn’t make that up. It was also a great realization because it took the pressure off… It just told me, ‘Don’t try to outdo Shatner.
