Next Star Trek
 
Paramount Pictures has staked out an opening weekend for the sequel to J.J. Abrams’ highly successful reboot of the Star Trek film franchise. The as-yet-untitled Star Trek sequel will debut on June 29th, 2012.



Abrams’ Star Trek, which was released last May, earned over $257 million at the domestic box office. Abrams is producing the Trek sequel, which Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, and Damon Lindelof, are writing. Abrams has not announced whether or not he will direct the film.

I bet Abrams will do it. Not the most knowledgable about Star Trek, but it's pretty obvious that they gotta do something epic with Klingons. Maybe some large scale Star Wars-esque ground battles to go with the space battles they brought in.

New characters: Is there anyone from the original show that they didn't set up in the first? Maybe they'll set up Khan or something.
Also, wouldn't be suprised to see them incorporate Borgs and TNG stuff in this "new reality" timeline. Prob in the 3rd movie

parkmania 01-11-2010 07:14 PM

It seems like most of the races I'm coming up with off the top of my head (Tholians, Gorn, Archons) were not known until Shatner & crew met them in episodes. Pretty sure I remember seeing Andorians in the movie, and we definitely saw them in Enterprise.

Typing that makes me think of something - as oddly as they were treated in Enterprise, how about the Suliban and the Temporal Cold War?

I'm hoping for KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*inhales*AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAn

Vastardikai 01-11-2010 10:52 PM

I'll definitely check it out. I can now no longer see Scotty as anyone other than Simon Pegg.

Tb1 01-11-2010 11:03 PM

Obviously excited for this. Hoping for the next one to focus on Klingons, but I wouldn't be surprised if they gave in to temptation and went with KHAAAAA - Khan. Would love a few more battle scenes and some moral issues as well.

2012 is too long away. :(

That's too bad.

Tribbles for the main villain next movie. MAKE IT HAPPEN.

El Vaquero de Infierno 01-12-2010 10:38 AM

I hope they aren't going to revert to old tricks like constantly putting the ship in peril and crap. They over did that with the past films.

JJ Abrams should cast Naveen Andrews to play a klingon

Buzzkill 01-12-2010 06:30 PM

Plz no Klingons

I have never been a Star Trek fan but whenever I hear Klingon I only think of Star Trek conventions; the word has become a form of self-mockery to me

El Vaquero de Infierno 01-12-2010 06:35 PM

Probably have the Klingons attacking the new Vulcan homeworld, or something. blah

XCaliber 01-12-2010 07:47 PM

No Khan please i'd rather they have an early encounter with the Borg over that but even that isn't such a great idea. It only seems logical for the next movie to deal with the Klingons in some way shape or form. This may be a new universe but as the 1st movie indicated as much as things change certain things will remain the same.

Lock Jaw 01-12-2010 10:02 PM

I don't think they should use the Borg or Khan. They've already got movies.

Maybe Cardassians? Those guys were serious business.

THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS!

D Mac 01-13-2010 07:07 AM

Q should be in this.

El Vaquero de Infierno 01-13-2010 07:14 AM

Katherine Janeway should be in this...

Tb1 01-13-2010 04:02 PM

Cardassians wouldn't be a bad idea, still yet to have their own movie.

As far as I'm concerned, John deLancie can suck a cock.

Dude was brought into town shortly after Next Gen went off the air for a comic book convention. His hotel was attached to the convention center, yet he was an hour late getting to his 2-hour timeslot for signing autographs. He was unapologetic about it, and when I finally got up to him and tried to say something nice to him he was the rudest motherfucker I'd had the displeasure to meet in several years.



On the other hand, Armin Shimmerman was a blast to meet... he definitely "gets it".

Maybe a Ferengi movie! They can be accomplices to The Tribbles!

Speculation that Khan Noonien Singh would once again menace the forces of Starfleet in the as-yet-unnamed Star Trek sequel appears to be unfounded. Actor Karl Urban, who has reprised his role as Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy in the sequel, accidentally let slip what director J.J. Abrams has kept under wraps, the identity of the villain in the film.

SPOILER: show
When, during an interview with SFX about his lead role in the new Judge Dredd film, Urban was asked about working with Benedict Cumberbatch on the Star Trek sequel, the actor replied: "He’s awesome, he’s a great addition, and I think his Gary Mitchell is going to be exemplary."



Gary Mitchell, as fans of the original series know, was a Star Fleet Academy friend of Kirk’s, who as the result of an encounter with a "galactic barrier," acquired extraordinary telepathic and telekinetic powers along with a serious case of megalomania. Gary Lockwood played Gary Mitchell in the classic "Where No Man Has Gone Before" episode, which was the second pilot episode ordered by NBC (at the behest of Lucille Ball). This was the episode that got the series on the air and established the makeup of the original series crew. It marked the first Star Trek appearances of William Shatner (Kirk), James Doohan (Scottie), and George Takei (Sulu).



Cumberbatch, who is brilliant as the nearly superhuman sleuth in the BBC’s Sherlock, would appear to be an excellent choice to play Mitchell, who doesn’t shy away from referring to himself as "godlike."


Gonna be interesting to see how they adjust that story to the "new" Trek universe. Although I would have prefered new material to a rehash. I have a feeling that's gonna be my view of this whole franchise though.

Swiss Ultimate 07-11-2012 08:30 AM

Could always wait until the next reboot.

parkmania 07-11-2012 09:04 AM

True, it'll probably be a LOT less than 40 years this time.

This article which came out sooner contradicts that one:

Plus they've already adapted that story - it was done in the comic series set in the film continuity late last year which Orci was involved in as a creative consultant.

Seems a bit lazy if they do it again.

DLVH84 07-11-2012 09:55 PM

I believe Jonathan Frakes should direct. He really understood Star Trek. Or at least assist Abrams.

Swiss Ultimate 07-12-2012 07:46 AM

Anyone involved in the Next Generation movies should be barred from the set.

El Vaquero de Infierno 07-12-2012 10:22 AM

First Contact was a pretty good film, DTTS.

Was that the one that rehashed most of the themes of Star Trek 2, only without the subtlety or quality?

Swiss Ultimate 07-12-2012 11:37 AM

It was the one where they tried to make a horror movie out of the Star Trek franchise.

That would be Nemesis.

That was also Nemesis, inadvertently.

Generations had promise but was a complete mess. First Contact was wonderful, and I'm still a big fan of Insurrection although it has plenty of it's own problems.

El Vaquero de Infierno 07-12-2012 03:43 PM

Nemesis was god-awful; Insurrection has grown on me over the years but I still think it is fairly poor.

I don't understand why you would say that. You are probably running on nostalgia here. The movies based on The Original Series have not aged that well, Wrath of Khan excluded. The Next Generation movies, while not mind-blowing, are at least all competent.

Lock Jaw 07-12-2012 04:06 PM

Star Trek II-IV and VI are still awesome. I actually enjoyed Star Trek: Generations, though it could have obviously been way better. First Contact was awesome. Insurrection and Nemesis were pretty "mehhhh", though I think I have only seen them once and don't even remember what happened in them.
