Spoilers STAR TREK BEYOND

Apparently, it makes no sense. Kirk and cia are going on their five-year mission to explore strange new worlds. Far from main Federation space.
What the hell is Daystrom doing there?

 

Well, they were on their five-year mission during "The Ultimate Computer" but he found them.

In any event, the only thing connecting Elba with Daystrom is that the character was played by an African-American actor half a century ago and Elba is of African ancestry. Given that the studio and producers have already demonstrated - with CumberKhan - that their approach to casting isn't bound by such nonsense, there's no reason to speculate about it at all.

Because once you go Black...you can't possibly cast another minority actor in a new role.

 

Daystrom's appearance in TOS was also during the five-year mission. Wasn't a problem there, was it?

Look, I didn't say I thought Elba was playing Daystrom, I said I HOPED he was. Happy now?

 

Yes. During five-year mission, sometimes, Enterprise was summoned to return to Federation space.
But I believe that, in this movie, they are in deep space, literally in unknown territory. So, I think Idris is not Daystrom.
Just that. Thanks.

 

Anybody got eyes on De Lancie?

Ok, a few pounds, but..."The Alpha Q"?

 

Guess who's back to do the soundtrack for Star Trek Beyond?

Also, Deep Roy's Keenser is back!

 

Oh, god, he's becoming the Goldsmith of nuTrek.
I'm ready for someone new at this point. After his bland, lukewarm Jurassic World score I don't think he has anything fresh to offer.

 

I liked the Jurassic World score, and brought his soundtrack for 'The Incredibles' just yesterday. My vinyl of Jupiter Ascending's soundtrack (one of the best parts of the damn movie) shipped about a week ago, and I liked the music for 'Tomorrowland' when I saw it in the cinema.

None of those scores were anything like the other. Beyond's could suck, or it could be great. No use dismissing him it until we hear what he's offering.

Funny thing about Goldsmith - I was reading a review of the expanded Nemesis score earlier today, where they dismissed it because he changed the arrangement of the main theme too much. I personally liked how he (and his son I believe?) made 'Blue Skies' into the secondary theme.

 

Link is dead.

 

Looks like Trekcore nuked the article. Here's the word from the man himself: https://mobile.twitter.com/m_giacchino/status/620066100689047552

 

I would much prefer Brian Tyler

 

Weird thing -- I normally love Michael Giacchino's work, but his Trek scores just don't appeal to me much. And that's a shame.

As far as I know, Joel Goldsmith only assisted on the First Contact score (and on the sound effects for ST:TMP). I can't find any indication that he helped on Nemesis.

 

I look forward to Michael Giacchino's score. His work on both movies are decent enough, but where he works best is during the big "reveal" scenes, especially for the titles, credits, and any hero-shots of the Enterprise. If for nothing else, I love his theme.

 

I love Michael Giacchino and I hope he comes back.
both his soundtrack for trek and LOST are amongst my favorites.

I loved the entire Into Darkness and ST2009 scores !!!

The music is one of my favourite parts of STID in particular.

 

Well. He is back!

Well, his score for The Incredibles is just there is no doubt.
And you are right, the Jupiter Ascending OST is grand and in parts even playful, and Tomorrowland is fun too (though in parts it sounds a bit like it's about to break out into "Enterprising Young Men").
These works make the Jurassic World score sound even paler in comparison.

So, not all hope is lost, I guess.
