Koete Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Roberto Orci is directing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I'm... interested... to see what he does with it. He was always "the Trek fan" among the creative crew on the previous two movies, and it almost seemed like he was the one who had the most problems with the stupid elements of them. This is probably the closest we'll get to having a "real" Star Trek movie while Paramount still insists on following the roller coaster action ride style of the two Abrams films.

Gareth Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 He doesn't really have a great track record when it comes to writing but I'll withhold judgement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjoyadet Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) It seems like everything i have seen has not just orci but Kurtzman attached. From Jack of All Trades to Enders Game It was always "Kurtzman and Orci" I was beginning to suspect that Kurtzman and Orci were joined at the hip.

KnightWing Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 They were a professional duo, but they split up recently to pursue separate careers. It was a friendly split, from what's been said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Shatner has been approached and confirmed that he wants to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Meh to that. Love the man but leave classic Kirk alone. Maybe I'll be wrong, it can hardly be worse than Generations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 After all the shit they pulled in Into Darkness, I don't really care as long as it's a fun movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 There are three options here, as far as I see it:01. It's a flashback sequence set in the Prime Universe.02. They find a way to shoehorn Prime Kirk into this reality.03. An aged Kirk from the new / alternate reality comes back in time, and of course he looks like Shatner because that's what Kirk is supposed to look like when he ages.

Gareth Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Well Prime Kirk's dead right? So it can't really be a flashback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Prime Kirk is dead, but it could be a flashback to a Spock / Kirk scene before he died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Prime Kirk is dead, but it could be a flashback to a Spock / Kirk scene before he died. Also, the expanded universe posited that in The Return - Sorry. In seriousness, though, Shatner is twenty years older now than he was when Kirk Prime died. He's gone from older to downright elderly. I don't see a flashback working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 More time travel? Boo. unless it's just a dream sequence that Prime Spock has, they will have to jump through hoops to make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pan-dub Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 What joy there will be when it turns out he's a cameo part, thus becoming the next Stan Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 They should have just made him Kirk's grandfather in a first film cameo. They'll do some finagling to get him in this one and honestly I could care less about Generations but I'm not sure based on these films that we're going to get anything hugely better. At this point I'm asking where Uhura's cameo is. Where's Nichelle Nichols? Maybe they should just remake All Good Things with what's left of the original cast playing the older versions.

KnightWing Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 How about we just do Crisis on Infinite Kirks and be done with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted December 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Orci is OUT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Dammit.While I've never been a huge fan of Orci, he was always the single hardcore Trek fan in the group, and there was a good chance that with him at the helm, Trek would go back more towards... well, being Trek. Which is basically what he said he wanted to do.And now the rumored replacement is Edgar Wright? Screw that. The constant insistence on jokey comedy was one of the problems with the JJ Trek films, not a plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Just because Wright is famous for comedy, doesn't mean he's incapable of drama. I would argue that The Cornetto Trilogy has more earnest moments of brotherhood, drama and pathos than Abram's two films. And you mourn losing Orci because he's a huge Trek fan, Edgar Wright isn't?

KnightWing Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I think the thing is that if Paramount is actively seeking Wright, it's because they want a lighter, more comedic tone. It's not a thing of Orci's fandom > Wright's fandom, it's the fact that Orci specifically said he wanted to make Star Trek more like Star Trek again. But then again, the rumors about where the script was going made it seem a little questionable... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Given his recent experience with Marvel, I honestly can't see Wright signing on for a big franchise anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjoyadet Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 It would be ironic if Wright did make it because in Spaced Tim said every odd star trek film is crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted December 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Maybe they're looking for someone with actual directorial experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 If that were the factor then they wouldn't have given him the gig in the first place. But maybe he showed himself inadequate so far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted December 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 He got the gig based on his involvement with the previous two, and I'm guessing that wasn't enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
