- DirtyVicar, on 04/01/2009, -1/+11The backers in Hollywood are demanding a recast before they fund this sequel:
Will Smith as Capt. Kirk
George Clooney as Spock
Johnny Depp as Scotty
Angelina Jolie as Uhura
and of course Morgan Freeman as President of the Federation
The symphony soundtrack is also expected to be replaced with a fast break medley of hip-hop and techno. - vr121, on 04/01/2009, -2/+11trek is back!!
- Neb28, on 04/01/2009, -1/+10God damn April Fools, makes me think every friggin article is fake, even this one which was written on March 30th. Any reasonable person would assume this to be legit, but not on April Fools day..
- Emera, on 03/31/2009, -2/+11Pretty much have to get started on it now, if we're going to see it anytime soon.
- 12916studios, on 04/01/2009, -0/+8If anyone is worried about the writing, you should know that Damon Lindelof is a ***** genius. His writing, the scripts he's written for Lost, are by and large for the best episode that show has had. Anything that Orci and Kurtzman ***** up in a potential sequel will be immediately unsuckified by the fact that Lindelof is attached to write too. His *****'s just that good.
- Xkers, on 04/01/2009, -0/+5Absolutely. Lindelof (and Cuse) wrote The Constant, one of the best TV episodes ever.
- Ramenboy005, on 04/01/2009, -1/+6the sad thing is....
do to the fact that every trek fan is obligated to see this film at least once....the movie
will be counted as a commercial success and they will continue with a sequal
Its the Star Wars prequels all over again - Xkers, on 04/01/2009, -0/+4Abrams has nothing to do with Lost anymore. He and Damon Lindelof came up with the concept, J.J. co-wrote the Pilot which he also directed, and came back to write the season three premiere with Lindelof.
Lost's show runners since season 1 are Lindelof and Carlton Cuse. - GalacticRerun, on 04/01/2009, -0/+4Please tell me Morgan Freeman's doing his narration over the top. I'd go see that.
- leamanc, on 04/01/2009, -2/+6Nah, just kidding. April Fools!
- CoreyTamas, on 04/01/2009, -0/+4It's not at all unusual for movie execs to get started on the sequel for a big-budget blockbuster before it's even released. In fact, it's pretty standard now. No big surprise to this for me, I have to say.
- jftitan, on 04/01/2009, -0/+4one word... exactly
- apetrie, on 04/01/2009, -0/+3the other sad thing is...
due to the fact that so many people will see this film, some people will prejudge it as crap and an unwarranted success regardless of whether its good or not - blacklilyninja, on 04/01/2009, -1/+4i like this
- astrotrain, on 04/01/2009, -0/+3The movie isn't out yet, and they are basing a sequel at this time on 'hype'??
Hollywood is really desperate for ideas and money. Whats next basing a sequel to the Green Lantern movie that hasn't even begun to film yet? - MasterGrief, on 04/01/2009, -0/+3I used to think the same thing until he joined Scientology.
- Dochirin, on 04/01/2009, -0/+3Scientology's fund-raisers everywhere are happy to hear that.
- Akairenn, on 04/01/2009, -2/+4This is an april fool's joke, right? :p
- RealmDown, on 04/01/2009, -0/+2Especially if they shelve it for a year post-production like they did this one.
- inactive, on 04/01/2009, -2/+4Abrams? Really?
- lars5, on 04/01/2009, -0/+2it was made so.
- inactive, on 04/01/2009, -0/+2really? they haven't even released the upcoming one...
- Larssonk22, on 04/01/2009, -0/+2I have to admit the trailer did feel me with joy and anticipation but not havening seen the movie and already talk of the sequel we in warp 10 and I'm still in my pj's
Engage
EDIT LOL anyone had the Xzibit popup "yo dawg I heard you like digging" it was gone before I could read the rest :( - ell0bo, on 04/01/2009, -0/+2I have learned I just try to stay off Digg, it gets my hopes up way to high. I'm still recovering from the penguins that relearned to fly, and my out burst "well *****, if they can fly, maybe dragons are possible".
- Xkers, on 04/01/2009, -0/+2He won't direct the series finale. J.J. said Jack Bender deserves to do it but he'd love to come back for a regular episode.
- Elranzer, on 04/01/2009, -0/+2Kinda like Transformers 3.
I hope Transformers 2 bombs and all of the resources put into Transformers 3 bankrupts Michael Bay's company and prevents him from doing anything again. - MasterGrief, on 04/01/2009, -0/+2Like a twinkie,
like a twinkie. - protodon, on 04/01/2009, -0/+2Now call me crazy but can we introduce new leading theatrical Star Trek characters??? And make movies about them??? In the future future, not just James T Kirk's future? Or can we just make a Farscape movie franchise happen. I would really like that.
- bjs3171, on 04/01/2009, -0/+2or they just like the finished product. i'm assuming someone at each of these studios is an actual movie buff.
- glaz, on 04/01/2009, -1/+2Abrams was possibly the best director however and will probably come back for THE finale.
- brian78347, on 10/06/2009, -0/+1Star Trek for LIFE!
- antdude, on 04/01/2009, -1/+2No. :(
- chrisek, on 04/06/2009, -0/+1cant wait to see this move. Trailer looks great!!!
http://hotfile.com/dl/137058/2b86d19/startrek-tlr2 ... - MKak8, on 04/01/2009, -0/+0Oh, you're right. Well then Damon needs to finish Lost, and JJ needs to not make another Star Trek, so that both of their schedules are pointing to the same thing next> The Dark Tower.
- inactive, on 04/01/2009, -1/+1KHAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!
- erikerikerik, on 04/01/2009, -3/+3jj Abrams, making movies how they are ment to be FUN! and entertaining!
- screamingmadman, on 05/10/2009, -0/+0boy were you wrong!!! Movie is so far the most successful opener of the year!
- kaasenwyn, on 04/01/2009, -3/+3APRIL FOOOOOOLS!!!!
- Natru3al, on 04/01/2009, -2/+1You know cynompguy this is what I said when I first heard the new take on Star Trek but after seeing the trailer I think this might just work.
- OfTheSun, on 04/01/2009, -4/+3I'll see any movie with Will Smith in it.
- urwornguknowit, on 04/01/2009, -7/+6April Fools! The sequal is gonna be called Epic Fail Movie!
( I couldn't resist) - Generalfier1, on 04/01/2009, -2/+1Oh you know you are going to see it you little Trekky.
Even if it is to only bitch about how horrible it is and nothing like the original series, you are still going to see it. :)
I'm not old enough to be a Trek fan but this movie looks pretty cool to me. I'm pretty sure, like a lot of people I'm going to enjoy it. - MKak8, on 04/01/2009, -3/+1I wish people would stop putting things on JJ Abrams' plate. He is supposed to finish Lost, and then focus all of his brain, energy, and life to The Dark Tower. I'm pissed he's even wasting his time with ONE Star Trek movie. Now it's two? If there is one person who could make the Dark Tower into movies, it is JJ though. Lost has proven that.
- cnycompguy, on 04/01/2009, -12/+7dawson's creek on a spaceship.
screw that.
