If the film is succesful

[Jax]

If and its a big if, that the film is succesful and we see more movies, do you think Paramount are using this movie as a way to see if they can finish off the TOS adventure with the newly casted but orginial characters.

I know loads of people say well we don't know how far they actually got into there 5 year missions but am sure its safe to assume Gene wanted 5 seasons for 5 years so we saw only 3 leaving 2 unexplored.

So would you want to see at least 2 more moves making a J.J trilogy with the other two being missions part of the final years of the 5 year mission.

hoped that all made sense

Well, naturally that's going to be largely dependant on what we actually get with Star Trek. If the film's successful and it doesn't specifically set it up for any possible sequels to be the completion of the five year mission, I don't think there will be any pressing desire to do it that way. Either commercially or dramatically.

But, like I said, who knows what they're going to be giving us with this first movie? I think more likely they'll leave it ambigious. To be fair, few people outside of fandom even remember that it was supposed to be a five year mission in the first place and we fans will fit it into the continuity ourselves by inferring stuff anyway.

If it's successful, Trek will end up back on TV (the old TV + movies format). The TV series might not have the TOS re-cast characters, if they are too big for TV by that time, but a TOS-era series with new characters could work out nicely, too. We can always have Kirk and Spock show up during sweeps.

I see that as a VERY likely scenario. Much moreso than a "new ongoing adventures of Kirk and Spock."

I can imagine occasional "cross-overs" with TOS events. Say, for instance, our heroes might be involved in the events surrounding the Babel conference, or they might be involved in the hostilities near the Organian incursion. They might be involved in dealing with the "leftovers" of some of Kirk's actions (for instance, there's probably a pretty good story to be told in the aftermath of the destruction of Vaal... though its tone would be much different than that of "The Apple."). But I'd hope any "crossover" events would be rare and actually SPECIAL (and not just done as the obligatory sweeps-week or end-of-season stunt!)

I think this would work out pretty well, actually.

Wrong.

Expect a few sequels to this film. No new series until at least 2012. Expect one to be around for the 50th anniversary.

WHY DO YOU ALWAYS DO THAT?

Why do you act like you somehow KNOW things that you don't have any more clue about than anyone else???

Seriously, pal. It's one thing to say "I disagree." If you say that, you're just saying that your opinion is different, which is totally valid.

But who the fuck do you think you are telling me I'm WRONG? Do you have a magic crystal ball that tells you the future in absolute certainty?

I stated my opinion. Are you actually telling me that you think my OPINION IS SOMETHING ELSE?

Or are you really in such a state of delusion that you think your personal opinion constitutes REALITY?

Get a clue, pal. You don't know ANYTHING about this movie, or the general machinations within the studio, or the intentions of the producers of this movie. NOT A GODDAMNED THING. Everything you think you "know" exists only in your fevered fantasy world.

 

[RAMA]

Expect more movies! They will NOT re-recast a TV show.

RAMA

If the movie does well, I'm sure the idea of returning Trek to television will occur to someone, but I think the real bellweather will be the success or failure of an entirely different franchise, namely the Star Wars live action television series slated for 2009. That could also have a big influence on what type of Trek series it might be.

Yes, possible, but NOT with the TOS era re-cast.

And yes, I could picture a ST show circa 2012 with an ALL artificial environment and FX, and based on developments of a CGI heavy world in an SW TV show.

[Vektor]

I agree that another TOS recast is all but out of the question, though I think something set in the TOS era is far more likely than, say, the 24th century.

 

[chardman]

If the movie does really well in theaters, what plausible reason is there for CBS to not capitalize on that success ASAP?

Seriously.

Can any one imagine what would happen to the CBS exec who'd be dumb enough to suggest that the network not exploit a hot property that they own free and clear until sometime a few years down the road, when the interest generated by the film might well have died down completely?

Let's just say that you don't get a corner office with a good view if you don't strike while the iron is still hot.

Believe me, if Abram's Star Trek is even moderately successful for Paramount, CBS will have a Trek project of their own ready to go in time for the following fall television season, at the very latest.

 

[Norm]

Sci-Fi is the pretty popular on TV these days. Half the new shows this season had a sci-fi bent. Why not capitalize on a well-known property with a built-in audience? But they have to make sure they have an excellent creative force behind it, or we'll end up with another "Enterprise", which isn't terrible, but not especially good.

 

[Skywalker]

If this does eventually spawn a new TV show, it would most likely be set on a different ship whose mission runs concurrently with the Enterprise's. Occasional "special guest appearances" from film characters could be a possibility.

 

[Matt]

The next time you'll see Star Trek on TV will either be a repeat, remastered episode, or the network television premiere of this movie.

There will be no new Star Trek TV series for years to come. This movie will be followed by another production from the same people, and possibly a third.

With that in mind, the sequel to "Star Trek" would be in theaters from Q4 2010 to Q4 2011, unless of a catastrophe.

This IS live action Star Trek.

An animated series is another story all together. That sort of production is unpredictable, as there are brilliant treatments pitched each year, but are shelved for various reasons.

Two things here:
1. Cary you need to chill. Don't get so worked up over this stuff. Don't take it personal.
2. Matt I've noticed that nearly every post you've made in this forum is negative and basically trolling. You know, not posting to actually contribute but just to needle and annoy people. Borderline stuff mind you, not surprising people are calling you on it. Just know that your comments haven't gone unnoticed either.


Oh, any comments about this moderator action feel free to PM me.
Now, let's get back to IDIC guys. We can do it! We've got one more year to go! :thumbsup:

It is going to be a looooooong year!

Not for me. The older I get the faster time goes by. Before I know it it's gonna be 2010.

 

[The Borgified Corpse]

I suspect we'll see more movies with this cast if this one is successful. However, it's still so early in the game that no one should be banking on anything. Their sole concern while making this movie should simply be making the best damn movie possible. Tie up what needs to be tied up. Don't leave threads hanging "just in case." (That was the mistake that The Chronicles of Riddick made.) If you focus on nothing but the immediate end product, then the sequels will practically fund themselves.

 

[Holytomato]

TAS the Remake will be done in C G I! :Cheer:

When it does I will become...

a lesbian!

Let me tell my wife...:skappering off:

My wife just told me...and then...which leads to...

oh.
