J.J. Abrams should not be involved. I'm perfectly fine with him ripping off Star Wars for the rebooted Star Trek, but the man is overrated. Matthew Vaughn has been good in his collaborations with Bryan Singer - neither of them had anything to do with the god-awful X3 by Brett Rattner - but this talk of him being involved in a film worse than the prequels makes me uneasy. Spielberg, I think, isn't hungry enough to make a solid, non-sappy film anymore, though I love him to death and he's still an excellent filmmaker - just not the right fit. I vote we keep looking.

But as I said in the other thread, I'm very happy with the choice of Arndt as screenwriter. TS3 and LMS were very witty, highly entertaining films. The very least we could say is that the dialogue might not only not suck, but actually be solid, or even *gasp* memorable (in a good way!)
