Joe Cornish To Direct STAR TREK 3?

[Agenda]

Time to bring in Ratner!

 

[Enterprise is Great]

Variety is reporting that Joe Cornish no longer attached to Trek 3:

Sounds like he read the script and bailed.

Did he time travel to do so? There's no script yet.

It's pretty obvious he time traveled.

And we wouldn't be getting TOS and TNG on blu ray or any Prime Trek tie in novels if Abrams had it his way. That waters down his brand. Good thing that CBS essentially told him to fuck off. Apparently you can't do JJverse fan films. So if Abrams was in full control, they'd probably stop stuff like Phase II or Renegades as well.

You do know that has all pretty much been debunked?

Bring back Leonard Nimoy, I bet he would do it if the price was right.

I bet he wouldn't.

Agreed. He's mostly retired at this point, and in his 80s. Directing a major tentpole film is not an easy job.

I bet Nicholas Meyer would do it, but his directing career is more or less over at this point (he's been solely a screenwriter for over a decade).

Even with the admiration and appreciation for those names and their respective work I have, I find the idea of fresh blood more and more appealing now.

 

[BillJ]

I wonder if Orci ends up directing it? That way we have just one person we can focus all our hate on!

Now that I think about it, I really like the idea of a one-stop shop for hate.

Re: Nimoy or Meyer directing -

"Let's get guy's who haven't filmed a major blockbuster in almost 30 years!"

That has "Bad Idea" written all over it...

 

[Harvey]

Indeed. Which is why it almost certainly won't happen.

 

[Out Of My Vulcan Mind]

Very unlikely.

 

[Harvey]

Alex Kurtzman did make his (feature) directorial debut in 2012, but this would be quite a bit bigger than that small film, and it's also unclear how involved Kurtzman will be, since he isn't writing.

 

[Out Of My Vulcan Mind]

It's common enough for screenwriters to get into directing, but, as with Kurtzman, they usually start out directing films with modest budgets and/or television to gain experience before getting a big budget franchise film.

Source? It's not that I doubt it, but it would be better for either of you to provide an authoritative source.

You mean like JJ Abrams?

 

[Out Of My Vulcan Mind]

Exactly like J.J. Abrams, who had directed a lot of television, including some of the most cinematic big budget pilots in television history, before being tapped to direct a big budget franchise movie. Note that I said "they usually start out directing films with modest budgets and/or television."

 

[CorporalClegg]

Yes. I know. I was making your point for you.

 

[Out Of My Vulcan Mind]

^^^
Ah, okay. I misread your tone.

 

[Hober Mallow]

Nick Meyer is extremely unlikely, but he's a family friend of JJ Abrams, so it's not totally out of the realm of possibility.

 

[Cyrus]

William Shatner is available. He is willing to help with the script too.
