Question

Answer 1

Mission: Impossible III director JJ Abrams has confirmed he's set to save the Star Trek franchise after signing on to produce the next film in the sci-fi series. The 40-year-old Lost and Alias creator, who is a longtime fan of the cult TV show and subsequent movies, is considering directing the new Trek movie too. In an exclusive interview with America's TV Guide magazine, Abrams says, "It's sort of surreal but wonderful. I'm producing and may direct. I have every DVD of every Star Trek episode from every series. I haven't seen every episode from every series but I certainly know it well enough to be working on the movie." Abrams, who will team up with fellow Star Trek buff and Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof on the new project, initially fumed when his involvement in the new film was announced before he'd committed to it. He admits he took his time to sign up for the project: "There have been 10 films and all these different (TV) series, so it was a question of finding out what they (movie executives at Paramount) were anticipating." Abrams insists the cult following Lost has found will help him make decisions about where to take the secret storyline for the latest Star Trek film. He explains, "Fans of Lost don't compare to fans of Star Trek, but working on Lost gives us a view into how important it is to respect the fans."

Btw- I read that today and I dont really watch Star Trek so this must be coincidence

Answer 2

I heard there was to be a new Star Trek movie, planned for 2008, but there is no word on what the actual storyline will be based on. There are rumours abound from it being about Kirk's academy days to another chapter in the Next Generation's adventures to a film set during the era of Enterprise.

Personally, I'd be happy just so long as we get a good story altough the idea of a film set during Kirk's academy days sounds pretty rubbish and just an attempt to dumb down to teenage kids.

Answer 3

don't get me incorrect i'm a Die-stressful celeb trek fan, celeb Trek and it particularly is ideals are my existence not something might make me happier to confirm Gene's ingenious and prescient of the futrue come ture however the actual fact of the subject is the individuals of on the instant do not choose that ingenious and prescient all they choose is stuff for themselves and the individuals who're now on top of problems with the trek franchise are out for themselves too If a trek movie is to prevail it needs to pass forward not be a prequel and it needs to have a good sort of action to get lesser minded people to come again see it so as that they are in a position to benefit something yet on a similar time it needs to grant a message a message on the subject of the matters of on the instant's international like terrorism, faith, gay rights, corruption and the various different problems of on the instant's international. The movie needs to tutor people how stupid it fairly is to enable those matters shop humanity from greatness. and that's what celeb trek is meant to be approximately.
