Hypothetically Speaking, What if this movie really takes off?

[Sharr Khan]

It looks pretty mindless to me.

I agree. I mean take another look at the trailer and you'll all see how right Matt is!

I mean that's completely mindless! People acting out of character, nothing but shhoting and explosions. Watching that trailer gives you all the information that you need to realize how that movie is going to definitely be the worse Trek ever!

Wow the Wrath of Khan trailer must have looked pretty mindless to some of you - or for that matter any Trek trailer which, you know tend to focus on the action which is the easiest thing to sell an action-adventure movie on... that's right Star Trek IS AN ACTION/Adventure series. Part of its problem is that its forgotten that in favor of shallow moralizing which isn't entertaining at all.

Listen to Sarek/Pike's narration - this is not "mindless" by a longshot its about our heroes finding who they are and embracing their destinies.

The "aging effect" will come about...those of us (and future Trek creators) who remember TOS as fondly as we do will continue to either suggest or "sneak in" (if you're in a position to do so) as many references, characters, and concepts from the show as possible.

And then the NEW version will engender its own connections, differences, life forces, troubles, tribbles, and what have you. But it does seem more likely to come about early in the relaunch more so than later (until the box office results for Star Trek XVI: Brain and Brain...What Is Brain? are released, anyway).

This is what I hope will happen with the new series of movies if they are successful - that there will be a whole new universe of interconnected stories and connections for fans to argue over!

Maybe I'll get to listen to my grandchildren squabble over whether it's canon for Kirk to marry a Romulan

 

[Kryton]

Heh...line from Neroette: I come here not to praise James Kirk, but to MARRY him!

If this movie takes off, there will be more. Since the actors signed a three picture deal (as standard), I'm sure we'll see another voyage with this crew.

Orson Welles!!

With his green peeness!

 

[M'Sharak]

*ahem*

 

[number6]

*ahem*

Hypothetically speaking, if this film does well, it will still never make enough money to bring Orson Welles back from the dead to do voiceover work for the trailer for the next film.

 

[The Wormhole]

*ahem*

Hypothetically speaking, if this film does well, it will still never make enough money to bring Orson Welles back from the dead.

Then I'm declaring the movie a flop, since it won't be able to accomplish what really needs to be done.

Truthfully there isn't even enough Paul Masson wine on this mortal coil to accomplish that.

I demand less excuses and more results!

Because at this moment, I am seeing zero results.

That's because you drank all the wine. Hypothetically speaking, if this film really takes off, we could always get more wine.

 

[Herkimer Jitty]

Gentlemen, please. We don't need to resurrect Orson Welles.

It's obvious what has to be done:

-Create an Orville Redenbacher-style CG likeness of Orson Welles.
-Synthesize his voice based on numerous samples and recordings
-Use Fake!Orson as a puppet to take over the world.
-Use my authority as Planetary Emperor to make every day a holiday. Tomorrow would be No Pants Day.

But that would violate canon. We don't know that he would have existed in the Trek universe as created by Nero's temporal incursion. Old Spock would have to bring him back in that little ship, which is way too small for Orson Welles, who was quite obese when he did the TMP trailer voiceover.

Hey how the hell did you find my master plan for world domination?
