Paramount should leave out the star trek titlle for Trek 3.

[Cyke101]

Let it also be noted that titles like Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Thor: The Dark World don't seem to have hurt the box-office any.

Honestly, if you think you have to trick people into seeing a Star Trek movie, you're going at it the wrong way . . .

I used to get really annoyed when first movies did that around 10 years ago, especially comedies, because it implied that they were anticipating a sequel. Will Ferrell had no less than three movies titled this way (e.g. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby), and Pirates of the Caribbean started off like that.

I had no problems with Marvel movies, or even ST09 doing it, because we knew from the get go that they were franchise movies made from pre-existing properties (okay, so Pirates was a Disney ride, but still). And Iron Man never went down that route, even though it started the Marvel shared cinematic universe.

To take this further, you could perhaps follow the catchphrase-as-title formula, and attract good karma by titling the movie "Where No Man Has Gone Before" (evoking the TOS episode), or bad karma by titling it "The Final Frontier" (evoking the fifth TOS movie).

Either way, such titles would be utterly uninspired. As indeed are The Dark Knight and Man Of Steel.

Star Trek: Boldly Go

That has got a certain ring to it, I will admit.

I know. I meant it as a joke, but it has grown on me over the weekend.

This is all backward. The reason for making a Star Trek movie featuring "Captain Kirk" and "Mr. Spock" is because the names and trademarks have a market value.

Hush now. If the movie does not meet the approval of the High Priests of Nerdom, then it is now worthy of being given the name Star Trek.

I'm hearing Star Trek Into Oblivion on Trekmovie, supposedly from IMDB. I'm assuming that's a joke, based on the movie's troubles.

Or it's going to be an Elder Scrolls crossover.

Which, let's face it, would be awesome.

Captain Picard already died in Elder Scroll's Oblivion

If they went the Man of Steel/Dark Knight route with Star Trek, the only real, recognizable names I could come up with that would let the audience know, "These are Star Trek movies," would be THESE ARE THE VOYAGES or THE FINAL FRONTIER. I don't think any Trek producer wanting to make The Dark Knight kind of money wants to bring up memories of these two stinkers*

*I actually like The Final Frontier

I'd think they could do well with ``Where No [Man/One] Has Gone Before'', ``To Boldly Go'', ``Kirk and Spock'', ``Enterprise'', or even ``Warp Speed''. But really, toss away the Star Trek title in the hopes of fooling people into watching Star Trek? Kinda dopey; at least ``Man of Steel'' and ``Dark Knight'' had pop cultural currency as other ways to refer to Spider-Man and the Green Lantern, respectively.

I sort of cringe when people say the dark knight had a pop culture currency considering hwy the film got so famous was the hype built around ledger's death. I have always felt TDK is overrated. Spiderman 2 and DOFP are better films all around. I will like to see ST 3 not go the tdkr route.

I'm rooting for "Star Trek: Star Trek".

 

[SalvorHardin]

I assume "Star Tr3k" has already been mentioned somewhere.

Or.... #$t@r Tr3k

 

[The Wormhole]

I assume "Star Tr3k" has already been mentioned somewhere.

Well, at least it doesn't have a leading zero. Hopefully, that's an Abrams thing Justin Lin can leave out of his movie.

 

[The Doctor]

Holy shit, that's perfect.

 

[Woulfe]

I'll toss a title out for the next film

Star Trek : it must take 50 years to leave your lover

;-)

 

[CorporalClegg]

Star Trek 5150?

 

[M'Sharak]

I assume "Star Tr3k" has already been mentioned somewhere.

Once or twice.

 

[BeatleJWOL]

Seen the idea over on the Blu-ray.com forums too.

Hardly groundbreaking.

 

[Jackson_Roykirk]

They should call it "The Adventures of Kirk and Spock", and make it clay-mation, and directed by Nick Park.

It's not necessarily a "leading zero", but a place-holder digit. It is a common practice in everyday life.

One recent example (from a tragic real life event) is the numbers on the coffins used to identify the remains of the AirAsia crash victims. The first two sets of remains were numbered "001" and "002" (not simply "1" and "2"), considering that the number of remains could eventually go up to 172.
