Roberto Orci Not Directing Trek XIII

I'm struggling with this. First, I doubt a expanded-universe or side-story will happen... we never got that on the big screen and the small screen days of multi-Trek TV series are behind us, most likely for good.
That said, I'd love to see a standalone nuTrek feature film without Enterprise, Kirk, and Spock. Heck, give me the story of Reliant, Terrell, and the Genesis Project. I know it's rehash, but I'd be in for a nuTrek treatment. Use Genesis to restore Vulcan??? Whether or not 'they' succeed...
A guy can dream.
Marvel has a precedent for a shared universe in their films because that's the way the comics have run for the last 50 years.
Trying to do it with Star Wars or Universal Monsters or Ghostbusters or any other franchise at this point (even DC's better-late-than-never approach is rather questionable at this point) is NOT a guarantee of success, it's a crapshoot, and bandwagoning of the worst kind.
That's an interesting idea. The STID haters wouldn't be happy with it, wouldn't be a bad idea for ST3 to be honest.
Generalizing isn't usually a good thing.
As a STID 'hater' I think branching out with another captain like Terrell would be interesting. And, a premise that involves a Vulcan restoration may be interesting....if executed well. Not too mention, having Terrell face off against the Anglo-Saxon/English Khan, if he returned, and besting him would be poetic justice...
I can actually hear Picard saying to Riker: "Come in here, dear boy, and have a cigar."
"Welcome to the machine." — Locutus
You're gonna go far, fly high..
Yeah, I honestly believe Abrams understands Star Wars better than the guy who created it.
Some fans certainly think that they do.
Role models ? What do you think is the point of movies ? Education ?
YAY! Role models!
Well, I do like TUC, but your description there also applies to ID (which I also like).
It works for the Marvel movies. And they are going to do it with the Star Wars movies. Being continuity heavy never hindered the success. The execution is the important part, not the story. I said it before, and I won't stop saying it: for the uninitiated, continuity doesn't matter. Backstory is backstory, it doesn't matter if there is additional content somewhere. When you saw The Lord of the Rings in 2001, did the throwaway mention of the "dragon incident" completely irritate and confuse you? People who saw The Wrath of Khan without knowing Space Seed weren't confused by Khan having a history with Kirk either. I know that because I am one of those. I am also pretty sure that in 1977, when Obi Wan talked about Luke Skywalkers father and the Clone Wars, people didn't go "What the hell is he talking about?".
They could have pulled a Marvel in the 90s already, with a TNG, a VOY and a DS9 movie, and then a combined one.
A service? Hope you're getting paid at least. Or else you've really been wasting your time.
When I saw this picture my mind immediately went to "All Our Yesterdays". The scene where Kirk is trying to get back to the library.
First of all, the return of the Star Wars original trilogy cast is something that people generally want to see. Second, all we know is that the original cast will be in The Force Awakens. We can't say how "continuity heavy" that will be, because we just don't know. If I understood Dennis's remark correctly, he was saying "No" to doing Shatner's The Return specifically, and then no generally to stuff that actually would be continuity heavy.
Third, there's nothing really "heavy" about the Marvel movies. The callbacks in their movies are to other recent movies that are themselves directly accessible to the same audience, not to TV shows from previous generations. The common threads between the MCU films represent ongoing drama, not something that has been resurrected from past decades.
"Heavy" in this context means being a burden.

Nerd.
Get a room, you two. Keep the personal digs out of the threads.
There's a lot of that going on around here, strangely enough.

It's almost like there's a strange force, exhibiting subspace pressure on the molecular bonds of the inverser tachyons, thus preventing the hyperdrive's boromite atomizer from actuating.
