Summer nuTrek novels pulled-TrekMovie.Com

After careful consideration, we decided to hold off on telling new stories while JJ and his team continue to develop his vision.
It is a different inference to take this to mean the team developing the movie scripts decided they didn't want other people writing "nuUniverse" stories. It seems clear to me that they are referring to "his vision" in a respectful manner, and stepping back to allow him his creative freedom. I just don't know how it can be read any other way, unless you think it's a lie.

JJ Abrams' ego overpowering the franchise? As in "it's my story, and my story alone?"

From what i've read online, JJ had nothing to do with this decision. Bob Orci was on trekmovie doing an informal q&a and I think he said that none of them were directly involved in it. Are you just making an assumption, or has this been stated somewhere with sources?
 
^I thought Roberto Orci was only speaking for himself.

He was asked if his team and him had anything to do with it, not just him

I’d like to hear words from boborci on if he and his team had something to do with this ridiculous move.

boborci :
Nothing to do with it. Would’ve liked to read the novels myself, but I may have had to resist!

Never read too much into corporate drone speak - what is said in PR and press comments often bears no relationship to the truth.
 
I concede.

Clearly someone is lying. The statement from Pocket implies the writers needed them to step back, and the comment from one of the writers is that they had nothing to do with it.

I doubt we will be told what really happened.

But I am hopeful they will eventually publish these books.
 
^ Which makes me like them or their music.....not the slightest bit more, actually. To each their own. :)

Rio is actually a really good album in the tradition of Roxy Music and Japan, albeit more pop and less sophisticated. Just happened to suddenly catch on with teenybopper girls, which didn't help their credibility with rock fans. Still, David Bowie brought them along as his opening act on the Glass Spider tour in 1987, which is the only reason I happened to see Duran Duran live. And if you're running down David Bowie, man, you're walking on the fighting side of me.

Okay, this is drifting pretty far offtopic, but it's not like we have any actual information about the postponed books to discuss...
 
Oh, you think you'll see it coming? Silly boy. Silly, silly boy. :evil:

Well, good luck with that. After all, it's not as though I have any experience with that sort of thing. None, whatsoever. Totally green in that area. Pure as newly fallen snow. Detecting an enemy before they can get close enough to do anything? I probably should've taken a class or two on that topic. Silly me.

:evil:
