Actually, this is a good idea.I've never been a Star Wars fan, but I loved JJ Abrams' version of Trek.
If this is true, I have a bad feeling about Star Trek XIII for Trek's 50th...![]()
Maybe there'll be a TV project of some kind on the air by Sept. 8, 2016? The actual fiftieth anniversary doesn't necessarily have to be honored on the wide screen.
When you think about it, for a series that began on television, and IMO is best fit for television, to not be on the air in the era TV has finally surpassed film in the storytelling craft is unusually conspicuous. This might be the excuse it needs to return.
Orci and Kurtzman can run a Trek TV series while Abrams prances around the galaxy far, far away.
Word of mouth had a lot more to do with Skyfall's success than the anniversary which was trivial for most people.Considering how the Bond50 promotional push helped Skyfall become the most successful film in its franchise (it was always likely to do well, but breaking the Thunderball barrier was extraordinary) I suspect Paramount will move heaven and Earth to get a film out in 2016, with or without Abrams.
Yea know between producing the TV show Revolution which IIRC was picked up for season 2 by NBC, Trek, and now Wars - when does JJ find the time to even take a shit?
He just shits all over our sacred and beloved Trek!1!!
Btw doesn't he have a new tv show in the works too?
so whats so bad about him directing star wars?
its like that odd attitude some people have that you can't like both wars and trek.

Exactly. I don't understand the handwringing here. So some guy is working on more than one popuar scifi franchise?

This is all rather amusing.
It's like...
This is all rather amusing.
It's like the ugly girl who gets taken to the dance by the cool guy. The cool guy said there was no way he could take the cute girl to the dance - too much intimidation and not enough time.
Now we're at the prom and he's shown up with both. Who do you think is going to get the slow dances and who will be standing by the punch bowl?
“I frankly feel that – I almost feel that, in a weird way, the opportunity for whomever it is to direct that movie, it comes with the burden of being that kind of iconic movie and series. I was never a big ‘Star Trek’ fan growing up, so for me, working on ‘Star Trek’ didn’t have any of that, you know, almost fatal sacrilege"
And you think he will have time to do both? All his energies will now be focused on Star Wars.
You're Trek nerds. You've tried to convince yourself that you're not Trek nerds by mocking other Trek nerds, but you are. Your presence here is proof of that fact.
And you just got dumped for the prettier girl.
Don't worry, we'll be standing there with you at the punch bowl when it's time for the slow dance (I think it will be John Williams tune).
Cameron and Abrams who know how to WATCH great films.

Hilarious.
That post was dead-on target...
I love JJ Abrams' Star Trek and I'm very happy that he's involved in the next Star Wars movies.
Let's be clear, though: don't you dare touch my Farscape, Jeffrey Jacob!

He has to do Farscape after he reboots Terminator and James Bond again.
