Is it just me or is Simon Pegg the Jar Jar of JJ Trek. " I like this ship it is exciting". Awful. The casting person should be fired the only casting they did right was Nimoy.
The guy who designed the new Enterpise should be fired the Design is just ugly looking.
They have that dude from Harold and Kumas as Sulu. Sylar as the Young Spock and a Dude who looks like he would be on the cover of teen beat a magazine my sister used to read as young kirk. He also looks too Young to be Kirk.
90210 Trek. Smallville Trek. OC Trek you get the picture. the bridge looks like the Apple people called it the ibridge. ipod-erprise.lol
I wish they skipped the Academy Days and instead filled in the Missing Chapters of the First Five Year Mission, or the Period that Lead up to the Motion picture the second five year mision. They could have gone retro Like the movies 1-6 and it would have been cool. I would love to see the enterprise from the Undiscovered Country on Screen again. Too bad they sold it at auction the dumbasses decided to go cgi.
Believe it or not i would Prefer a Manny Coto Produced Enterprise Movie over this or even a fifth season of that show. JJ wrong person for Star Trek. Going to be the second time they picked the wrong guy. Last time was on Nemesis some Stuart Baird guy who should have been directing something like James Bond and not Star Trek.
I don't get how a guy who did MI3 a spy movie is supposedly the go to person for a sci fi movie. Unless they are going the route of stupid action movie dressed up as sci fi. If we have enough naked chicks, cgi and explosions nobody will notice.lol
Nicholas Meyer did not seem like the right choice either but he understood good drama and the classics of Literature. He understood characters and the human element in the story.
JJ never stays with any project. He has much more experience as a producer than a director or story writer. He supervised most of Alias, Lost etc. He very much is the George Lucas type who likes to have other people direct or write his ideas for him. I would be willing to bet if this picture is sucessfull he will hand the next movie to a hand picked director he chooses like he did with Cloverfield.
I would guess the new movie is a lead in to a five picture series or more. If not that much it will be a trilogy like the new batman is supposed to be. Paramount also wants to Bring Star Trek back to tv as a live action series and also possibly an animated one. But this film has to be sucessful for them to even have a chance of happening.
Even if the tos fans hate this movie they pretty much have to embrace it. Bring their friends and family to see it multiple times. It is the only way new trek will happen. If this thing Bombs Paramount would be well within its rights to never spend a dime on the series again.
