Michael Bay to take over directing STXI.

[MrPointy]

Well, no.

But I was just watching the Verizon ad and I was wondering what a Michael Bay Trek movie would be like.

Clearly, it would be awesome *random explosion happens*.

See this thread for what would happen in a Michael Bay film.

With shaky-cam, slow-mo, shit that goes out of focus and a bad love triangle (Kirk/Spock/random green woman played by Megan Fox).

Oy! I want to see a big ass, insane fleet battle tastefully done.

And, also, make it the focus of the film, not sideline it to the last twenty minutes with a cardboard villain who appears out of nowhere.

Jesus Christ! Don't do that!!!

No shit. I just about had a coronary!

Well, not really. Nobody at Paramount would be retarded enough to do that.

You make a good point, sir. I shouldn't dare them to be dumber!

I love that Verizon commercial! But, you only get it if you know Michael Bay blows stuff up. My wife and daughter didn't get why I was laughing.

Maybe Shatner is available to direct.

Entertaining. Fun to watch. Worth my money, and many other things I've never associated with the work of JJ Abrams.

I'd pick him over Michael Bay any day of the week and twice on Sundays, especially on a Star Trek film.

 

[Squiggy]

Psst.

Shatner's directorial history with Star Trek is less than stellar.

And Bay's Trek film would wrap on time and come in under budget. He's very particular about that. :thumbsup:

 

[Rico]

Doubt he would ever do Trek. Star Trek isn't his type of universe. Not at all.

 

[bullethead]

If Bay did Trek, it would probably be more like the Starfleet Battles universe than "real" Trek.

Come to think of it, Bay would be alright if he was directing a militaristic Trek AU movie, but for regular Trek he would be a bad choice.

If Michael Bay directed Star Trek it would be AWESOME!

*boom!*

Truly awesome!

*Boom!*

Destroy the Enterprise!

*BOOOM!*
