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

[M'Sharak]

Good to know Chris Pine has inside information on what the casts' agents has negotiated with the studio.

Well, I thought I'd read it from beginning to end, but the article I saw seems to be missing the part to which you refer.

Do you think you could point it out for me -- or, even better, could you quote the pertinent passage here so that everyone will be able to see what you're seeing?

 

[Ovation]

Pine seems to think they've worked together for 15 years

Because work on the film began in 2007 and we’re now 2022–math adds up.

Its not common practice to ask or inquire what a person is getting paid because it could create friction which doesn't need to be there.

It should be. Not talking about your salary only benefits employers and their bottom line. The taboo of not discussing your salary with fellow co-workers is propaganda to get people on the cheap that don't know their worth.

Wasn’t it a big deal when news broke Matt Smith made way more than Claire Foy in the Crown? And I think when N Korea hacked Sony, part of the leak was to reveal to actors what others were making. I get the sense they don’t talk it up amongst themselves.

The studio sure put itself in a bad bargaining position saying they really want the ol gang back.

Noted, makes sense and thanks!

It is EXACTLY that.

Because its none of their business, and quite frankly it doesn't work that way. Each individual has their own concerns and it will be worked out with their representative and the studio. Its not common practice to ask or inquire what a person is getting paid because it could create friction which doesn't need to be there.

Then how do you explain casts banding together to get others equal pay like Friends and Big Bang?
You can only fight for someone to get equal pay if you know they don't get it.
Because human beings do that talking thing.

 

[M'Sharak]

I mean, they are his friends. He describes them as family. Why wouldn't they all know what the other is being paid?

I guarantee you, on the day when Paramount dropped the ball and announced a movie starring them before they'd signed on, they were texting each other. Of course they were. The thing is, is this isn't common practice. Pine said it himself, they regard themselves as a family. The numbers don't add up for me, but Pine seems to think they've worked together for 15 years. Close knit.

I think each will know a ballpark figure for the others and as professionals they will accept that some get more than others. But to my mind, professional or nay, families gossip.

If someone wants to start a thread in the TV & Media forum (or other appropriate venue) with topic along the lines of "Worker / actor salaries should / should not be known to co-workers performing same duties," then that could make an interesting and possibly productive discussion all its own, but--as here it's quickly becoming not about Star Trek at all--it's not really a good fit in this forum.

For purposes of this thread (and since @STEPhon IT has not seen fit to back up the unsupported assertion made here,) we should probably let that issue go and return to talking about the movie that's been announced (but about which we yet know little.)

 

[Richard S. Ta]

@M'Sharak So noted and no problem.

Karl Urban speaks and says pretty much the same as everyone else.

“I haven’t seen a script, I know nothing. But I would love to work with those guys again, so much fun, the best hang. We’ll see.”

Script?! We don’t need no stinkin’ script. Larry David is producing. We’ll just…improvise.

I was thinking about this re-watching the Motion Picture, What if the crew is disbanded before the events of the fourth film and something causes them to reunite just for this one mission to crew the Enterprise-A, and then at the end they go back to their separate assignments/Lives. That way if a fifth one doesn't get made it would be a swan song for the Kelvin crew.

 

[Mudd]

That's not actually a bad idea.

 

[Richard S. Ta]

I’d prefer to see them still within the five year mission, as in Beyond, personally.

There seems to be some desire for a fourth movie to close the Kelvin stuff. As said above, a swan song. But the cast aren’t old, they love working together and pretty much all of them have become bankable stars in their own right since 2009.

I’d personally like a 4th Kelvin Movie end openly like Beyond. That way, in 2027 (say) we could have Kelvin 5, Kelvin 6 in the 2030s and so on. As long as the actors enjoy doing it and it makes money, let it go on.

I’d like to see a 60ish year old Kelvin cast still doing these films in 2040ish. I really would.

 

[mattman8907]

I would love to see the timeline also seem to continuing correct itself, like we know from a discovery S3 episode that by the 24th century (Specifically 2379) of the Kelvin timeline, they were using a style of uniform similar to the one seen in TNG.

Spoiler

Here's the Kelvin uniform

and here's the TNG Uniform.

From my understanding the temporal agent originated from the Kelvin Timeline and was only wearing the uniform of the prime era he landed in, not that KT Starfleet were wearing early TNG uniforms in their 2379.

 

[ChristopherPike]

If that's true, then it was the early spandex which gave TNG cast posture issues, weirdly with the later Generations movie onwards Starfleet badge.

I don't think that's accurate at all. Kovich describes this person as a temporal soldier, meaning any images could be part of his assignments during those wars and not a reflection of Kelvin uniforms. In fact, I would say that due to the obvious TNG uniform it isn't meant as a Kelvin uniform at all.

 

[Richard S. Ta]

I can’t imagine any future Kelvin movie would make any efforts towards correcting any timelines.

I mean, Why would they?

The only purpose of such a thing would be to satisfy the hardcore. I think the majority of fans are happy to let it be it’s own thing (which was the point of the whole split timeline in the first place), while the rest of the audience don't care.

There’s more interesting stories to tell than Star Trek:ReCanonisation surely?
