All signs indicate Star Trek 2 is going to be EPIC

[Gojira]

Except that it seems like they still don't have any idea what the next movie will be about or who will direct it and everyones schedule is getting too crowded for it to come out within two years

I am pretty sure they know what the next movie will be about, its just that they won't tell us!

We'll have to wait to see the movie.

In my opinion the Star Trek we had this year was just an introductory to get us use to this re imagining in the modern form. Concensus showed that it worked out beautifully and our beloved franchise has been resurrected from the dead and THAT IS A FACT.

Now, I bet the sequel will be even bigger with a much more complex storyline. I have a feeling they want the new movies series to inspire our generation and makes us wonder about the deep mysteries of life. Honestly I think this is what they intend to accomplish judging from all the interviews I read.

If I'm right, ST 2 will shock the hell out of us like the Dark Knight did in summer 2008.

So what do you all think?

I will admit, even though I was against the whole JJ reboot, I did enjoy the film for what it was, which still wasn't much. But it was a fun two hours. However...

Here is the really sad part... as far as science-fiction goes, the ONLY two movies of ANY worth this year, have been "Star Trek", and "District 9", and of the two, "District 9" is the only one that could come CLOSE to the level of quality that was "Dark Knight". The trouble with JJ, is that his style of film making is too close to Michael Bay's... lots of lens flare and action, with little plot.

The first reboot of "Transformers" was actually a pretty fun movie for me to watch... but "Revenge of the Fallen" sucked so badly, that I can't even put into words how crappy a film it was. And I think this is because Michael Bay got full of himself, and figured that if he had one Transformers blockbuster, that his audience would eat up anything he gave them to follow that.

I HOPE JJ does not make this mistake with a Star Trek sequel. It will have to be better than the first in every way, and I'm hoping it is... I truly hope that JJ and company fix all the problems they had, nail down a solid and consistent look, and work out a fresh, original, and gripping story for us all, that will both have lots of entertainment value, and substance to it. But the way Hollywood has been going recently, I'm not too sure JJ won't get as complacent as Michael Bay got.

As long as Earth is threatened by a pissed off (preferrably bald) miner from the Romulan empire and an established character dies*...that's the criteria from the previous two films.

*Yes, Amanda counts as an established character.

There was some good science fiction this year. District 9 and Star Trek, of course. I also enjoyed Pandorum and Moon. Looking forward to The Box...

#1 - I hope you're right

#2 - It's not ST 2, It's ST XII, but its actually neither. There won't be any numbers in the title, according to Abrams.

Or could we call it Star Trek X-II ?

Signifying the 2 of the new series, while still 12 of Trek movies as a whole.

(And the kewlness of having X in a title)

Or could we call it Star Trek X-II ?

Uhura, Chapel, and Rand have to travel through several Federation worlds, changing into various Star Trek uniforms on each one (most of which revealing, even the heavy security battle armor) in order to rescue the Kirk and Spock of their dreams from the twisted vengence of Mirror Shatner.

Uhura's musical number will be a duet with a CGI imposed version of Nichelle Nicols and will be one of two scenes which will actually make the movie worth watching.

I'm there. Who do we have playing as Rand and Chapel?

[startrekrcks]

sounds good to me

 

[KirkSpockTOSFan]

I can't wait to see what the new movie will be like. I'm sure it will be good as this movie was. I'm wondering what they have in mind for the next one? We probbley won't know until more information is released on it, which probley wont' be for a while.As they are still in writting and idea stage. But I will keep my fingers crossed until then.

 

[startrekrcks]

come on news impatient trekkie here

 

[startrekrcks]

i agree. the film was a refreshing take of the franchise that was stale, theatrically, for many years.

p.s.

hopefully the 'epic' meme will fade away quickly too

Star Trek 0XI-A

Really though, I've heard nothing about it at all. All Dorci and Curseman do is blather on about it being "organic". I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't have an idea between them and resort to Khan.

2 Star 2 Trek

When the Klingons captured Nero, they found a near-dead Robau and promptly froze him so that they could create the ultimate weapon. Now he's being thawed out.

I'm there. Who do we have playing as Rand and Chapel?

Kristen Bell and Scarlett Johannson.

And in this alternate universe, Rand and Chapel are a couple.

Overall I think they'll aim to duplicate ST11s broad appeal, so any deeper development of characters or themes will be a layer under the action.

Crossing my fingers. Frustrated at the dearth of spoilerage though.

Since they're now saying it'll be finished in 8 months I'd have thought they're not far enough along to generate spoilers.

They've made a good start in setting up the characters to be basically the people we know, but in Kirk, Spock and Uhura's cases, have the potential for character arcs that are different from what we've already seen.

I thought all the characters except possibly McCoy have the potential to be very different from their prime selves, but the creators want to keep them fairly similar. Atm the generalisations we've heard about the next film suggest to me that they'll be more like their TOS selves than in ST11.

how about the horta just a thought

I love the Horta but I don't think you could center a movie on them since a fair percentage of the audience would know about them. IMO it'd be cool if they had Horta as minor character(s).

Except that it seems like they still don't have any idea what the next movie will be about or who will direct it and everyones schedule is getting too crowded for it to come out within two years

The last report I read suggest it definitely won't be out within 2 years - 2012 at the earliest:
