To me, the "Akiraprise" thing has always come off like "OMG! A Ford Model T has four tires a steering wheel and a wind screen. A Tesla Model S has four tires a steering wheel and a wind screen. Also, the names are similar. Total ripoff."
Nick Meyers new interview. Working on a secret trek project
- Thread starter RAMA
- Start date
This. I was forbidden for months just to tell people that I was working on Star Trek Adventures. And every little plot detail has to go through CBS for approval, then come back. His project could be absolutely anything and he couldn't talk about it.
What is it with people thinking their always needs to be a design evolution? You can do these kind of things with humans or other animals evolving for because those occure naturally.
It doesn't work like that for technology, sometimes we can see things we perceive as an evolutionary path like cell phones getting smaller until Apple said "Ours is a giant screen with no physical keyboard!", sometimes things just happen because someone had an idea.
There are many times in Star Trek were fans and even people who work on the show seem to thing "We've seen A and C, so obviously B has to look like a step between A and C" ... no, that's not how it works, B can look like anything, it could look like A with a new hat or like something completely different that didn't work somthey went back to something more resembling A for C.
I'd like a sombrero, please. An urban sombrero.
It wouldn't be a movie, as I can't imagine JJ Abrams ever having the nous to hire somebody geniunely talented, who is committed to stories with proper meaning and characterisation.
I also couldn't see CBS launching another show anytime soon as, no matter how greedy and stupid Les Moonves may be, even he wouldn't produce a second series before the first one had been established.
That only leaves things like novels, comics, games or non fiction books.

Okay, we get it. People don't like Abrams. That's fine! People have the right to their opinions. But is it necessary for at least one person to bash him in every thread ever? It's getting old and tired.
Yeah, it really does. In the last few years Abrams really has replaced Berman and Braga as the scorned scapegoat of the franchise. I guess Bryan Fuller knew why he really left the show so early.
Not me! I think Abrams is responsible for making Star Trek viable again. His '09 movie was a surprise hit and I actually loved the follow up 'Into Darkness', which marked a return to allegorical stories. Both of his films captured the grandeur that has been missing in Trek movies since TMP. It's telling that 'Beyond' had the weakest box office and worst rotten tomatoes scores when compared to ST09 and STID.
I hope that he's more involved with ST4 and can generate the excitement that was missing in the build up to Beyond. His cinematic vision has now restored three franchises to greatness. He made the Mission Impossible franchise viable again after the terrible MI2, he saved Star Trek and then.....
And then, he saved STAR WARS and consigned the prequels to being a bad memory.
He's an awesome producer - take a look at these credits!

Ignoring the general ridiculousness of that statement, Meyer is an old family friend of J.J's, so if he was to hire a previous Star Trek director, Meyer is the only one I can see him choosing.
I could see CBS gearing up for a second Trek series to complement Discovery, like DS9/TNG. I also think it's a little premature unless its just about getting the project ready for a ~2020 launch.
I'd also doubt that they'd even admit to making a second show until it was a lot closer to being ready than DSC, so I'd doubt that's actually what he's referring to. Possible but unlikely.

Be honest now. In TWOK's space battle scenes you also have trouble distinguishing between the Enterprise and the Reliant. White starships, one saucer, two nacelles...

My best guess is either a second TV show(which depending could be a nice idea or an extremely bad one), or as consultant to say STOnline. I doubt it's a movie since the known issues with CBC-Paramount licences and him being attached to STD. However I can't completely rule that out.

Right now, my favorite Star Trek video game is Elite: Dangerous.
I'd be very down with that. Voyager had a fantastic idea and setting. Then the execution utterly ruined it by the end of the second episode.
I'm calling it now--a TNG reboot done the Meyer way.
Either that or Dog Trek--a series about Porthos and his interstellar adventures...I think this one's the safer bet.

What is your point exactly?Be honest now. In TWOK's space battle scenes you also have trouble distinguishing between the Enterprise and the Reliant. White starships, one saucer, two nacelles...
In profile view (or just about any other angle, for that matter), the Reliant and refit look more alike than the Akira And NX.
A Lin directed, Meyer/Jung/Pegg co-penned Borg film....
I think I just came a little.
