BREAKING: Paramount Sets Top Secret Star Trek Movie For Summer 2023; To Be Produced By J.J. Abrams

[M'Sharak]

It was Matt Zoller Seitz, editor at large at Rogerebert.com and Vulture, formerly the NYT, that I saw it from, if that helps. Maybe I'm misremembering and it wasn't an announcement, just reporting.

This?

Still seems pretty speculative: "Paramount is reportedly setting up a retreat from [quotation again carefully attributed to no one]."

If that's not it, I'm not seeing anything else that looks at all pertinent in @MZS Twitter stream between 10 Sept and today, so I guess it'll be your turn to dig next.

That's probably what I saw, so it was reporting not an announcement. My bad. I'll go back and edit the earlier post.

New Paramount Chief Confirms Planning For Multiple Star Trek Films, Including Animated Movie

PR fluff.

 

[F. King Daniel]

Somewhere they have a meeting, there's a blackboard with "Star Trek?" on it, and it's "confirmed plans". That release-date-with-nothing-else-going-for-it ain't happening.

Prove me wrong, boys and girls.

 

[Bad Robot]

I really hope not. That, along with the suggestion of an animated Prodigy movie, implies Paramount might just shrug and turn the movie franchise over to Kurtzman.

I may just be done with Trek if that turns out to be the case. Orci was right, our DVDs aren't going anywhere.

People come, people go. It is the nature of fandom.

I'd rather have Kurtzman than Orci. At least he's not trying to turn Trek into conspiracy theory propoganda.

 

[Tenacity]

Seen this, cautiously optimistic.

no script, filming, special eff, editing. Let's see.

I actually don't mind Kurtzman being in overall charge. I prefer a singular vision and showrunner over journeyman directors and a strictly corporate mentality.

I've got my issues with Kurtzman's Trek, especially the repetitiveness of it, but whatever. It's still entertaining enough to watch and isn't going anywhere for awhile. It doesn't put me to sleep like Enterprise did. And Orci was just using ST to advertise his crazy as fuck conspiracy theories, so I'm definitely glad Kurtzman is in and not him, otherwise the next season of Discovery would probably be about how the Federation created a fake pandemic to force people to wear mind control masks and the only cure is medicine designed for Targs.

What you're really saying is, you don't care if it's garbage. As long as anybody who says so doesn't stick around to inconveniently remind you of it.

But you also wouldn't recognize anybody's license to determine it's (still) garbage if you didn't doubt their resolve to disengage from it.

No, his Trek is just brainless conspiracy theory without any real story to provide allegory or propaganda. That doesn't even seem like a real choice, and besides Orci's no longer in the picture.

I would rather J.J Abrams and the Bad Robot people over Kurtzman every day of the week, if that's the only way Paramount doesn't give it to Kurtzman by default.

He didn't. That's just dolts on Youtube. How exactly does Khan crashing the Vengeance equate to 9/11 being an inside job? It really, really doesn't.

...He literally named the planet at the start Nibiru. I'm sure it was dolts on YouTube that made that happen too

He doesn't keep his beliefs or intentions secret. He even went on random Trek websites posting about them, and then there was his Twitter account....

Not at all. Everyone knows my feelings thus far on the CBS live-action fare, just in case you don’t, I don’t find it remotely good and have said so on numerous occasions.

But if it was enough to drive me from fandom, I have no interest in making a spectacle of myself threatening to walk away, I would simply move on to things I enjoy more.

which elements of his ST contributions deal with conspiracy theories?

Nibiru (the planet the crew saves at the beginning of STID).

Advisory bulletin:

It ought to be possible to have opinions concerning plot / story / cast / writer / director / producer, etc. which do not agree, and to discuss those differing opinions in a civil fashion, without having to resort to taunts, personal digs or taking swipes at each other. You are not required to agree, but do remember to behave yourselves. It's really not that hard a thing to manage.
