‘Star Trek 3’ could see Shatner and Nimory reunite. C’mon man.
Were you fist-pumping about the possibility that the third Star Trek flick in the rebooted-whatever universe may forge its own identity? Separated from J.J. “Homage Is All I Know” Abrams, the film could stop wanking off lore and create its own mythos? Well, you might want to put the fist down.
‘STAR TREK 3’ dropping in 2016. So is ‘TRANSFORMERS 5’…and ‘HANSEL AND GRETEL 2’?!
That Trekkin’ Stars‘ third flick has a release date, with Paramount announcing a cavalcade of 2016 releases. Cool! And stuff! However as much as I am excited (?) to see Roberto Orci’s directorial debut, I’m more staggered at the fact that there’s a Hansel and Gretel 2 in the works. I never saw the film, but I just sort of assumed it was a turd-splash in the vomit-pot.
Roberto Orci officially directing ‘STAR TREK 3.’ Aiight.
Roberto Orci is officially directing Star Trek 3. Dude’s never directed a film before. (Co)written some movies I’ve enjoyed, (co)written some movies I haven’t enjoyed. So, I am officially agnostic regarding this news. How about you folks?
Roberto Orci wants to direct ‘STAR TREK 3’, totally splits up with Alex Kurtzman
Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman have been dominating the block for a hot while now. Or, depending on your enjoyment of their movies, at the very least been making movies together. But now the dynamic duo is splitting up, with one of them aiming for the Star Trek 3 director’s chair.
Well Sh*t: Joe Cornish AIN’T directing ‘STAR TREK 3.’
Man, fuck! Like four hours ago I was really frothing down in the pink and soft area over the potential of Joe Cornish directing Star Trek 3. Now! Now like fucking out of the blue, a hammer of gloom is smashing a nail of disappointment into my heart of (insert another crappy metaphor).
Next ‘STAR TREK’ MOVIE adds two new writers.
To which I say, obviously, good! You may or may not know my opinion on Star Trek Into Bland But Pretty Action Movie Territory (but you do now!). So all I’m going to say is that I love the idea of some new blood working on the flicks.
‘STAR TREK 3’ may be directed by ‘ATTACK THE BLOCK’s JOE CORNISH
Joe Cornish! I thought you were going to provide me with the Snow Crash adaptation I’ve fantasized about in my bed. Late at night. But hey, what can you do. If you end up directing Star Trek 3, my chubby will be nearly the same. Cornish’s Attack the Block is fucking fantastic, and I think the good sir could inject some heart into the Trek after the shiny but deadened Into Darkness.
Rumor: ‘G.I. JOE: RETALIATION’ DIRECTOR JON M. CHU to direct ‘STAR TREK 3.’
I don’t know Jon M. Chu’s works. So while I’m inclined to write something unfairly catty like “I bet you all wish Abrams was still aboard that fucking Enterprise!”, it’d just be empty and pointless. So uh. Yeah. Anyone familiar? I wanted to see Retaliation (I love me some Rock), but never got around to it.
LUCASFILM: ABRAMS AIN’T LEAVING ‘EPISODE VII.’ FARACI shrugs, PAGE VIEWS INTACT.
I probably shouldn’t criticize Devin Faraci for drudging up nonsense rumors, when I covered those same rumors. Whatever. I get three page views a day, and make no money. Faraci gets paid, and seems to generally giggle while stoking the flames of geeks across the internet. Wielding the hammer of God (or Thor, their parent company owns him), Lucasfilm has smote the rumors that Abrams is leaving Episode VII.
Rumors: ABRAMS considering dropping ‘EPISODE VII’, ‘THOR’ writers penning THIRD ‘STAR TREK’ film?
I find it highly fucking likely that J.J. Abrams is going to drop out of Episode VII, but apparently that is the rumor making the rounds. YesIrealizethatIamnobetterthananyone by perpetuating this potential fart in the echo chamber. I get that. However as a Trek-Wars dork, I find any and all speculation to be a degree erotic.
