Yeah, old Fred really did a number on Space 1999. (Hey! Let's do a planet full of talking plants!) Ironic he was welcomed aboard because of his Star Trek credits. I guess nobody saw the third season in the UK. ;)
Where were you in '77?
Kind of ironic also because Landau played the master of disguise-type character in Mission: Impossible, only later to be replaced by Nimoy after Landau left the show and Trek had been cancelled. I could see him as a decent Spock.
Happy Halloween!

^Funny I should happen upon that image while listening to the theme from Halloween II*.
*The original Halloween II**, of course.
**I'm not saying I really like the movie, mind you. Truth be told, I'm largely indifferent to the Halloween films***, including the original. I'm just making it clear that I'm not listening to any music from the Rob Zombie version (which I haven't seen and -- obviously -- utterly refuse to see).
***Well, I admit I found Halloween III mildly amusing. I guess face-frying Halloween masks engross me more than masked serial killers these days.
Several years ago, Shatner was on Conan and mentioned how a Kirk mask was made into the original Halloween mask, and Conan didn't believe him. Hilarious.
I just watched III last night. I like it a little more than I did in '82. And it gave me some decorating ideas that will have to wait until next year.
I've slowly been buying the Halloween boxset one movie at a time on Ebay to avoid the Zombie versions. Figure I can flip the later sequels if they blow.
And to turn this back to Trek, Kirk and company once had to deal with their own homicidal maniac who refused to die...
Never be alone in a room with Piglet. ;)

Kirk returning to space! ;)

Is this the right thread to debate Star Wars stereotypes?
Yes, yes it is.
So, Bob Orci *won't* be directing the next Trek movie after all - http://www.variety.com/2014/film/news/Roberto-orci-exits-star-trek-3-1201372245/
Bringing in someone who's actually directed a Trek movie or two would be a smart move. (Paging Mr. Frakes!) They probably won't of course. ;)

Yeah him or Robert Ducan Mcneal would be my first choice since they both know the franchise and really good directors who know how to work with actors.
At any rate this is the first good news I have heard about this movie and it will be interesting to see who steps in now.

(Paging Mr. Meyer!)
Meyer hasn't done a lot of directing since TUC, (only one other film in 1999) but the IMDB says he has a film coming out in 2015.

Why must you guys talk about Star Trek in every thread! Get back on topic!
Oh.

There's, uh, rumours (if it even qualifies as that) about Edgar Wright being one of the new candidates. Probably something someone came up with because of Pegg (or that shot he directed), but I'd be very, very happy with that choice.
Well, maybe not that happy, because a blockbuster would tie him up for a couple of years he could spend making something else. It would be a smart choice, though.
Thank GOD Orci is out.
The man has written dreck... sometimes made watchable by a) talented directors or b) already being a beloved franchise with lots of good will built in.
He can take his nonsensical 9/11 theories elsewhere thank you. (Seriously, look at STID! He cant make his conspiracy theories make sense when he writes the whole thing himself!)
Here are some directors I'd love to see at the helm.
Danny Boyle
Cary Fukunaga
Pete Travis
Lexi Alexander
Joe Johnston
Joseph Kosinski

For reals? Is this one of those irony things I never get?
Well, certain posters at the HTF keep shooting the idea down, because Meyer and Frakes are old geezers, experience doesn't count for crap in Hollywood anymore, and good solid film making isn't what the kiddies want in a Trek film these days.
As I said over there, Paramount had better get their **** together, or the 50th anniversary will be little more than a cheesy, overpriced merchandising bonanza. :(

Before we start talking about directors, can we get some competent writers first?
The same problems apply. Any seasoned Trek scribes aren't young and hip enough to suit the studio.

I didn't think of him before but now that I do it seems all of Joe Johnston's films have an upbeat world view while still giving the heroes big problems to solve and the heroes have a strong moral core. That is the very heart of Star Trek right there, if he were giving creative control I would take that as a sign Paramount wanted to get back to the heart and soul of Star Trek.
I really like that idea, good choice.
