Pegg updates on script

"We had creative meetings with Justin and there were things he wanted in there".

"Justin's got an amazing visual mind. He's great at that kind of choreography"
Translation: Justin has a bunch of action scenes he wants to do and asked us to write a movie around them.

Fine by me, I'm buying a ticket regardless.
 
I'll be there opening night and, if they're lucky, I'll be wearing pants.
 
I've not seen any F&F film beyond the first one. Those scenes look pretty preposterous.
I've never seen any of those, but they are far more believable than Legolas running up steps of falling rocks.
and far more believable than that Dragon they had. I mean, wtf, right?

Interesting.

To me, that is kind of like saying Peter Jackson can't direct a big budget fantasy movie like LOTR because he is a horror director from New Zealand (that's racist! ;).
 
Looking at the credits over the imdb page it seems the director is hiring all the guys from the f&f movies replacing most of the other two movies' crew. He's trying to make this fast&furious in space :lol:
Giacchino is not confirmed, director of photography is the guy from f&f so neither Claudio Miranda (bummer) not the guy who did the first two st movies, the costume designer is not Kaplan anymore (does that mean no more mini skirts? Lol) he's replaced him with the girl who did, surprise, f&f.


It's very common that a new director will hire 'his people' (preference, nepotism, politics) but it's one of the things that makes it inevitable that a movie won't have the same feeling the previous ones had. Different means just different at this point, it doesn't mean better or worse. But inevitably, it might be a source of concern for those who liked the first two movies.

(Funny enough, I think I'm one of the few who will miss even the lens flares o_O :lol:)

Peter Jackson can direct a big budget movie like Lord of the Rings because he's from New Zealand. But he can't direct an even bigger budget movie like The Hobbit because by then he was from Hollywood.

But isn't it's possible for you to agree that basing a movie around a bunch of action scenes is not as good as letting the story organically determine the scenes and action to be included? I think that's the message hidden in Saul's sarcasm.
 
May be it is me but I feel the support for pegg's writing the script is beginning to grow day by day. hopefully pegg does not disappoint.
 
I can't wait to see Spock leap a hundred feet across a chasm from one shuttlecraft to another to catch a falling Uhura. ;)
like Amanda?

i hope they dont repeat anything from the old film. the remake of wrath of khan in STID was bad enough

ehm:

.... insta-thought when I read:

(and people thought that Spock's jump in Into Darkness was not human :guffaw: )
I want Kirk doing something batshit insane like this off the roof of a shuttlecraft. It would please me greatly.

Eh, don't worry. The Fast and the Furious had plenty of miniskirts!

Those scenes were awesome. The final scene in STID where Spock was chasing Khan? I was leaning so far forward in my seat, I'm surprised I didn't fall out of it. :lol:
 
Yup, saw it in 3D at the cinema and those action sequences were pretty amazing to see. More of this in the next one please.

Dunno, as no Star Trek movie has ever been made in the latter fashion.
 
The resident writer speaks!

I hope we've finally dismissed the idea that Pegg and co. are throwing EVERYTHING out. Just Orci's mysterious maybe-it-was-a-completed-script-maybe-it-wasn't-maybe-there-were-more-klingons!.

Yes and no, I think. IIRC, the studio had a laundry list of things they wanted Moore and Braga to put into the Generations script, which is one reason why it feels like such a drastic change compared to all the other 10 movies. Things like Kirk getting killed, the E-D getting destroyed, et all were determined really early into development.

I don't agree necessarily to that point. I'm not a professional writer (by any stretch or definition) but I have worked on small film or story projects based upon a series of action scenes or scenes in general that we wanted to do. Often times, from those basics of scenes, we came up with a long and involved story. It isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Also, if Saul's message was intended as sarcasm, I apologize for missing it. The point I was picking up on (intended or not) was that Lin was pigeon-holed as strictly an action director when he has demonstrated the ability to do more than that. Hence, the Peter Jackson reference.

Also, I have a lot of confidence in Pegg to produce a script that is both in line with the last two films and in the spirit of Star Trek.
