The whole series is just going to be a series of gratuitous cameos of old TNG cast members now captaining their own ships, Picard drops in and saves them from some poo poo, reminds them of moral lessons, drops some sage wisdom then jets away at an environmentally friendly warp speed. In all seriousness though, I hope that this announcement means someone finally figured out that we want an optimistic trek again. Darktrek loving sucks. The world is poo poo enough already. speng31b fucked around with this message at 01:00 on Aug 5, 2018 |

Really though, if they do this show without at least one John de Lancie appearance then the whole thing is a waste.

That's quaint now, since with ST Beyond we are at 13 films, and now there is a 4th JJTrek film in production plus the possible Tarantino film

The world is poo poo enough already. I will not defend it as having done a particularly good job of that, and I imagine someone's going to respond to this with "well actually they armed a theocratic terrorist" or whatever, but the intent is clearly to portray a lovely world and then show characters overcoming that with Star Trek ideals. That is, from a certain point of view, optimistic. It's also not inherently bad or discouraging. The Expanse pulls it off in a more effective and ultimately feel good way than Discovery managed. But I know what you mean, I'd love to see an actualized idealistic Federation being all completely idealistic and stuff.

Preproduction. The script is still being written but they’ve selected a director and some of the cast have met her.

I think the statement about this not being Picard as you left him is almost certainly going to guarantee someone flipping about them ruining the character.

I hope it's 90% a classic or older picard, recognizably the character we know and love but aged and with a supporting cast (diplomatic ship? a return for Beverly?) and 10% just P-Stew getting to go ham and see if he can show up Avery Brooks. If it wasn't for biting DS9's bag it would make sense if Picard were the head or chief diplomat for some kind of Yorktown station.

I haven't played Star Trek online but this almost guarantees it is going to become non-canon hey. Edit: I'm pretty excited to see post-TNG era on tv with modern production values. The gap from the end of Voyager to 2019 is the same as the 18 year gap from the end of TOS to TNG starting. Senor Tron fucked around with this message at 06:21 on Aug 5, 2018 |

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:Wait, is it actually in production now? I thought it was trapped in limbo as Paramount flailed around in want of leadership. SJ Clarkson has been hired as the director, and JD Payne and Patrick McKay (Orci's bobos who got themselves all fired from Star Trek 3 because their script was dogshit) are working on the script--which is reportedly going back to their idea of having Chris Hemsworth return as George Kirk and having PineKirk work through his daddy issues yet again. I have doubts that it's ever actually going to get made, though; even Pegg himself was non-committal in his recent interview when he said he'd met with Clarkson and that he liked the story idea. The only actors under contract are Pine and Quinto (who got massive pay raises for doing Beyond in exchange for signing options for a fourth movie), both of whom are getting increasingly busy, and the rest of the cast is only going to get more and more expensive, Saldana and Urban in particular. Pegg's the kind of guy who will do a movie for three hots and a cot and it's not like John Cho is doing that much beyond the Grudge remake. But Paramount's finances are whacked six ways from Sunday--they desperately need Bumblebee to do well, from what I've read in the trades--and rumors persist that the studio is up for sale if the right buyer comes along (and everyone except Sumner Redstone is still trying to get Paramount and CBS to re-merge, too, which further complicates things). In any event, it won't be the same without Yelchin.

That technology is incredible, and they should totally use it. But it's probably super expensive and every time I've seen it used in movies like GotG2 it's only for a little bit. Maybe a few short scenes would be doable?

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:If the right buyer doesn't come along and Bumblebee flops, are they looking at bankruptcy? Probably not, because Alibaba is already heavily invested in Paramount and has been reported to be willing to take a controlling interest (Alibaba desperately wants to get into the American film industry, to the point that it's been financing Paramount's film distribution for years), but if the Viacom / Paramount re-merger doesn't happen and Bumblebee nosedives, there could be a repeat of the Disney / Fox situation. The craziest loving thing is that Viacom and CBS are both literally owned by the same loving company in general (National Amusements, which operates Viacom and CBS as separate business units). But Les Moonves is vehemently opposed, for some reason, to allowing the companies to reunite, which is why his daughter and the board are trying to force him out.

Enterprises just don't because they're hazard-prone.The original lasted like 40 years and if the C was built after the B retired/exploded, the B lasted 40 years too. That said, we totally will see a new one, they won't be able to resist. It'll be so spikey. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 12:52 on Aug 5, 2018 |
