Well shit. I hope everything works out.
What??? Every example I listed was within a single continuity. Bond didn't reboot the continuity until Daniel Craig. Keaton, Kilmer, and Clooney all played Batman in the same continuity, with the same supporting actors as Alfred and Gordon. The MGM/RKO Tarzan series went through numerous Tarzans and Janes. And of course the recastings of Bruce Banner and Rhodey were within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
You didn't list these specifics in your original post. For all I know you meant batmans in different series etc.
Confusion aside though, I just don't want to see pine recasted. They may get away with this with bond but I don't think it'll work with the kelvin series. If we were to see another reboot then maybe but I think that's unlikely, I think the kelvin movies were TOS's one and only shot at this. I can't see audiences giving it multiple rolls of the dice like spider man.
The point is, Bond is far from the only example. It's happened countless times in countless series. Heck, audiences used to take such things in stride, because it was commonplace in live theater for roles to be recast or for understudies to take over a part temporarily, so the first generation or so of movie, radio, and eventually TV audiences took such things more or less in stride. They understood that these were just actors playing roles, that it wasn't actually "real," and that their role as members of the audience was to suspend disbelief about the things that exposed the illusion, like actor recastings. But modern audiences take everything they see on TV and film so damn literally and insist that they're incapable of handling things that their parents and grandparents had no problem accepting.
Actually two movies ago, if you count Khan's deep freeze as "time travel"....
Anyway, if ST4 evaporates because of this, I really won't miss it. I mean, it's great to think another instalment of the Kelvinverse might come to fruition. But having 4 years between movies just kills the anticipation. I'm more excited for the CBSAA franchises at this point.
I don't. Most people wouldn't.
Paramount needs to make Star Trek movies on a smaller budget and the actors need to accept that or walk away. These could be tactics, but it could also mean serious trouble for Star Trek XIV and going back to square one, which would mean a delay or a rush job like Beyond and that one turned out mediocre at best in my opinion.
You can't blame anyone who is not at least optimistic at what Tarantino has in mind because at this point CBS and Paramount has no clue what to do or where to go with the franchise (Movies and TV). The movies (BEYOND) tried to make the crew appear older and have a nostalgia of everything which was wrong with Trek, people standing inside of a room talking too much, and destroying the most quintessential element of Trek which everyone wants to see... the Enterprise. Discovery, in the meanwhile, went with the DS9 route of storytelling and the result... the studio went on a full-on purge of the production Office, and begged a man who's close to the grave to carry the franchise... like he did more than 30 years ago.

At the moment I'm not really interested in the Tarantino flick. It looks like it's going to be a task in itself if ST4 gets made, and if it does and it bombs harder than beyond then any further movie is surely off the cards for the immediate future.
Let's see if pine signs first eh?

We can presume that Pine's agent(s) believe there's a popular clamor for a fourth KelvinTrek movie with Pine as Kirk, and that therefore they have some leverage with Paramount. If so, I think they're mistaken.
In any case, if Pine has a contract that Paramount is trying to break, that could delay any movie long past the point of its viability, assuming it has any to begin with.

Was there a poll or something?
