ST3 Reportedly Being Filmed in Vancouver in 2016

More action and less conversation. Which is why Paramount would be interested in a guy like Justin Lin.

It is the CBS non compete the ends in 15 days, my word is they will start announcing plans for the new Star Trek TV series around January 30th. That has to be on of the strongest reasons Paramount does not want to invest in another movie, you will have potentially 2 TV series on air of high quality in the prime universe before it could now be seen in Dec 2016 with all the wonky JJtrek alternative stuff. In CBS Romulas will still be there, Vulcan still there.. no transwarp l beaming.... prime Spock never left ... and then they release a JJtrek movie. Does not a profitable business model make!
Dear Para, if that were the case, why is DC putting out Batman vs. Superman at the same time as the Gotham TV series? And how can it be that there are fans happily enjoying one while awaiting the other? Could it be, just perhaps, that nobody but anally retentive continuity-obsessed fanboys have this ridiculous mindset that only one continuity can survive?
 
Dear Para Mobius,

Romulus and Vulcan are dead! They deserved to die, and I hope they burn in Hell!

Or, Elvis
Or, Danny Ocean and the Gang

Wait, either this idea is inspired or I should keep my day job:

The George Clonney Oceans 13 Gang

as AltNuKrew for the re-re-booted NuHacked ReDirected

"Star Trek, Oceans Voyage"

Give me the love! YES!!!

:techman:
 
Yeah...I was wondering why they would shoot the thing in 2016 when the 50th Anniversary is that year. If they shoot in 2016, the movie wouldn't be out until 2017, and that would make no sense. Unless they shoot in January, have a super-fast post-production, and release in November/December. It's possible -- they did it with Casino Royale -- but Trek movies are heavy on the CGI so I doubt that would be the case.

2015 would be more likely.

That, or they don't care if it is on time for the 50th anniversary.

Personally, it would be nice to have both but if we have to choose one or the other, I want a good movie, instead of being rushed just to released on a 50th anniversary date. Besides if you count The Cage, we've already passed the 50th anniversary for Trek, anyway.

Thing is, Paramount or CBS or whoever is really going to look weak and pathetic if they don't have something to show for Trek's 50th. James Bond celebrated its 50th despite being owned by a bankrupt studio, Doctor Who's 50th was the most popular program on British television and now holds the record for largest simulcast of a scripted production. And although it'll actually be a 40th anniversary, you know Disney is going to do something huge for Star Wars in 2017, they could very well be planning it at this very moment. If 2016 rolls by and there's nothing for Trek, no new movie or TV series or even a telemovie, that's going to be the equivalent of someone losing their shorts at the swimming pool and suddenly everyone else sees their small penis. It will be an embarrassment on that magnitude for CBS/Paramount.
 
No. It won't. :rolleyes:

It may prove to be a lost opportunity for a bit of extra revenue on merchandise but Paramount will be happier with a movie that does well at the box office in 2017 rather than a rushed one that tanks in 2016 just so they can meet an anniversary that holds any meaning whatsoever for a tiny fraction of the overall audience. Better box office will trump lost merchandise revenue.

Yeah, but when a bankrupt studio was still able to get a new movie out to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its franchise, what's Paramount's excuse going to be for not having a Trek movie out for 2016?

And after the big hoopla Doctor Who had for its 50th, even among non-fans, someone at CBS must be looking at that and realizing Star Trek must have a slice of that came. Especially since Disney is going to replicate that for the 40th anniversary of Star Wars in 2017. This is about more than just a date on the calendar, this is about Star Trek's reputation and cred.

Besides, every other Trek anniversary has been celebrated. the 20th had TVH, the 25th had TUC and a special crossover episode of TNG. The 30th had First Contact and crossover episodes on DS9 and Voyager, and the 40th had the remastered TOS. Something needs to be done for the 50th.
 
I don't see any reason why Paramount will be in such a terrible situation that they have to delay the release of nuTrek:III until 2017.

However, Trek fans who would care about the 50th anniversary stuff will watch nuTrek:III in 2016 or 2017.
 
Eighteen months is plenty of time for a movie like this. Why are people fretting?
