I don't think the director has much influence on the quality of the VFX. He goes "I want this and that." and the VFX company delivers. Or not.
No ST12 in June 2012 please!

Well, that's what producers are for - among other things.
I disagree, sometimes a longer wait is better, as you make your audiance want it more.
They had been shooting TF3 since June 2010, and I compare these 2, because of the amount of effects/CGI/ideas reused and the scale of technical challenges. Maybe TF sereis has got some more complex cgi scenes, but ST probably requires much more effort eith props,prosthetics,etc(sorry, bad english/lazyness to check). It starts to look to me, that Paramount didn't give trek writers enough support. Remember, you can't compress something forever. My bet is November 2012, ILM and Weta will be too busy next spring to make that compressed shedulle work.
They did one. It was called ST 2009. Nero instead of Khan. Abrams said he would NOT be doing a "Wrath Of Khan" remake, thank God.
Same here.
I hate to wait. Waiting for LotR, STXI, The Star Wars Prequels (and oh how I waited for them...), now The Hobbit and The Dark Tower....
Summer 2012 cannot come soon enough.
And another thank the Generic Omnipotent Dude here for not making another Khan film. I never got the love for the first one, as Khan is retarded (Nero is, too, but he at least wasn't supposed to be of "higher intellect"). I can only handle so many retarded villains and still like the film.
Sure.
Why not?
A film years and years in the making could suck just as easily as one made on a truncated schedule. Whatever happens, happens.
Time is not important. Abrams directing a Nolan-level film? Orci/Kurtzman writing a Nolan-level script?

Did they ever finish the script?
Yesterday we reported that Star Trek producer (and possible director) JJ Abrams had confirmed that the sequel script is still not complete. News of the unfinished script over the last couple of months has spawned much talk and speculation with Trek fans. For example, in the TrekMovie.com comments section for yesterday’s article, community member "Capt Crash" offered a number of possible scenarios as to why the Star Trek sequel script is still not finished (such as first draft being rejected for various reasons). Today sequel co-writer/producer Roberto Orci rejected the list of speculations and made it clear that work was progressing on the Star Trek sequel, saying:
"Orci: [to Capt. Crash] None of the above. Just been waiting for JJ to be free to really decide if he likes the story and hear his suggestions before we finish the script. Once he says go, we’ll have it in no time. Meanwhile, our outline is detailed enough (70+ pages!) to do some prep"

But how can any prep be done if they don't know whether Abrams likes the story or not?
He likes the story fine and has said so a number of times.
Abrams likes the story and has said so a number of times.
Orci uses "story" and "script" interchangably here. Abrams is waiting on a final script to decide whether to direct the movie or not (yeah, right). Abrams has said positive things about the story every time he's asked. Your assignment is to use Google and get back to us on what you learn.
