Pegg updates on script
- Thread starter F. King Daniel
- Start date
God yes. TFA looks like it's shaping up to be a seriously epic movie. With a $200 million dollar budget, and in my opinion, at least Avengers size box office takings, ST3 will have to be seriously good, just to stand out when it's released, never mind be compared visually and in scope to this new Star Wars movie.
On another hand, if only directors like Ridley Scott could have used that after films like "Prometheus" where directors are given significant freedom. For films like that, as good as the visual were, like the captain of the ship, he was ultimately responsible for the awful script.
That said, I doubt studio interference would have helped, though it's possible. The studio was largely responsible for Alien 3, IIRC. What a butt-munch that was.

Disney played intelligently, they took their chance. Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi (with the old cast) has debuted in 1983.
Fans were missing from Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, and Han Solo.
The best opportunity to Shatner and Nimoy appear in Abrams reboot was in Star Trek 2009, until the new cast could walk with their own feet. I believe they missed the opportunity.
I am convinced that they can succeed, but they first have to dare to write a good and new story. Without Shatner.

I don't think it is as important, as it once was, for films to outcompete each in their genres. Now, it has become a gambler's game, where there is speculation on which film will enter the $1 billion plus club.
Look at Furious Seven. This film is being compared to other films that opened in April, to other films that are not in its genre, and people are talking about the records that this film has broken in its climb to become a member of the $1 billion plus club.
This is having a ripple effect on Hollywood. Every tentpole blockbuster has to do phenomenal success at both the domestic and global marketplace for it to be considered a sucesss. Even films that would have been considered successes now are being judged unrealistically. I have read of the last Star Trek film being considered by some as a flop, because it didn't do better in the domestic market than its predecessor and failing to recoup for the advertising costs.
The date for the next Star Trek movie is a cushy Friday. It's main competitor that weekend will be the rom-com "Mike and Dave Need Wedding". (I kid you not - that is the name of a film. [http://www.movieinsider.com/movies/-/2016/]
May and June have power hitters (Captain America, X-Men, Transformers 5), and August is traditionally considered the month where studios put their less-than-sure hit summer movies into. So, July is where Star Trek is put.
Focusing on the 50th anniversary, what does CBS and Paramount have planned? I haven't heard anything. I mean, when Doctor Who was coming up to its anniversary, there were rumors of big things. I can't be sure now, but I do believe there were big things rumored for Bond as well. I know Bond was mentioned at the Summer Olympics in 2012.

How so? The trailer was for the most part a collection of special effects and brief images of the actors, no story, no plot on display.
I wouldn't think it to have any effect on Pegg what so ever.
You're projecting with a rational mind. Maybe Pegg really did crap his pants. I was just thinking we'd never know, but maybe he is the funny kind of guy to log on and tell us he just literally crapped his pants. Some people post those kinds of things on Twitter...How so?

I don't think there is a better weekend for Star Trek 3 to be released than the one they've got, considering the competition in May and June, where it would have quite frankly, in my opinion, got murdered. If it doesn't do at least Into Darkness's numbers at a minimum, then that's the last we'll see of this crew.
In an ideal world, I would have placed the movie in April. Have the film be the first out of the gate for the summer season. If the film was a success, it would have four weeks to recoup its costs, while facing off against weaker films. This is the situation now for Furious 7.
Biggest problem with that is that it shaves the best part of three months off an already tight deadline unfortunately.
batman vs superman is in march. huge huge film that already has a trailer and is building insane hype going into 2016. trek 3 has not even started filming yet.
Pegg's a fan. I'm sure he squeed a little.
Well, in an ideal world, the film would be in production now, and there would be rumors of big celebratory things for Star Trek from CBS and Paramount.
i am reading the posts and I am baffled. I am describing a hypothetical situation. Is there a better word than ideal?
I am not feeling the hype for the next Superman film. I don't like Nolan's films. It's an emotional and physical thing for me. I watched the "Man of Steel", wherein I felt an overwhelming sensation of anxiety. It was a torturous experience.

To continue the metaphor, he can still put the crap in his chamber pot, then have someone else carry it outside to dump for him.If he was still Tweeting, I'm sure he'd have squeed.You're projecting with a rational mind.

MoS was not a Nolan film. I thought the thing that really dragged it down was the dreary music score. Unfortunately Zimmer is also on the sequel, so I probably won't like that either.
I think the hype for BvS is mainly because fans are intrigued by Affleck as Batman. The preview pics are admittedly pretty cool. If BvS is not a total dud, I think it will do as well as a Transformers movie.

One of the things that bothered me about MoS was the senseless destruction just for the sake of destruction, and the fact that our hero wasn't phased by it at all. What I liked about STID was that the destruction had a purpose, and that our heroes reacted to that destruction.
It seemed that that was the case with a lot of fans of the franchise... MoS has had almost no shelf life since release, which is why they rushed BvS. As plodding as SR was to some fans, it never went over the line to where many just didn't accept it as Superman because it betrayed too much of what the character was.
As for Star Trek, hope it continues to grow into itself since I think STID was a much better Star Trek film than the 2009 movie. I loved the message within it and the story was just good. Hopefully the rewrites don't harm the movie, though Pegg sounds like he understands the franchise.
