Either that or scour the Earth for a more competent writer and just have JJ direct.
That would be a decent solution. I can admit JJ’s writing is nothing that gets me too excited exactly. However, I think he’s the kind of director where the script makes or breaks the final product. It is fair to mention that both the Trek films he directed also had two terrible Hollywood writers. Although '09 was better… So maybe their work is just on a spectrum.
Then again they also wrote ‘The Legend of Zorro’ and ‘Transformers’ so I don’t know what to believe.
