ST3 Reportedly Being Filmed in Vancouver in 2016

Eighteen months is plenty of time for a movie like this. Why are people fretting?

I would say that some are actually disguising their desire to see nuTrek magically go away and the Star Trek TheyKnowandLove™
return as "well I just don't see how Paramount is going to pull this off, it's going to be so terrible and awful if they don't get it done by this date or blah, blah, blah."

By the end of 2016 Abrams Trek will be history and we will all be getting ready to watch Captain Worf's Risa vacation first season comedy episode.

I think I would truly be done at that point. I'd still buy new TOS novels/comics but I would move on where the rest of the franchise is concerned.

What a relief it will be to finally be free of the tyranny of mainstream popularity, profitable productions, and regular cinematic masterpieces.

All praise be to Berman!

A return to Prime Universe Purity. I look forward to it and the restoration of True Trek. :techman:
 
That, or they don't care if it is on time for the 50th anniversary.

Personally, it would be nice to have both but if we have to choose one or the other, I want a good movie, instead of being rushed just to released on a 50th anniversary date. Besides if you count The Cage, we've already passed the 50th anniversary for Trek, anyway.

Thing is, Paramount or CBS or whoever is really going to look weak and pathetic if they don't have something to show for Trek's 50th. James Bond celebrated its 50th despite being owned by a bankrupt studio, Doctor Who's 50th was the most popular program on British television and now holds the record for largest simulcast of a scripted production. And although it'll actually be a 40th anniversary, you know Disney is going to do something huge for Star Wars in 2017, they could very well be planning it at this very moment. If 2016 rolls by and there's nothing for Trek, no new movie or TV series or even a telemovie, that's going to be the equivalent of someone losing their shorts at the swimming pool and suddenly everyone else sees their small penis. It will be an embarrassment on that magnitude for CBS/Paramount.
So why not let CBS do a television special in early September? Or a set of them, as was done for the Doctor Who 50th. There are plenty of Trek alumni who'd be up for it.

You say this now but wait until you start having 0 withdrawals.

Well I agree it would be a bad decision not to do SOMETHING to acknowledge the 50th anniversary in a meaningful way, and a movie in 2016 would be a good way to do that. But, I can let it slide if it means that we will get a good movie out of the delay, and they do something else to acknowledge the 50th anniversary. It could be a really well done TV special or releasing a commemorative DVD or BluRay set. I'd be happy with that.

I just don't want to see a sub par movie rushed out, just to meet a 2016 deadline. I was disappointed enough with STID, and I am hoping they put out a movie that takes its time and does it right, and redeems the current Trek incarnation.

Precisely. I wouldn't mind seeing a gathering of a few from each series, have them select a favourite among their episodes and say why and then do a kind of panel thing where they get to ask each other what it was like to work on the various series (fondest memories, regrets, etc.). Maybe Takei and Shatner could finally "bury the hatchet". Hey, if the US and Cuba can re-establish diplomatic relations...

Besides, if the film comes out before June 2017, it will still technically qualify as falling in the 50th anniversary of the first season. Can't see that being too difficult to spin.

Except the official anniversary celebrations will begin in January 2016 and end in December 2016 with a special emphasis on September 8. That's how it's always done.

That's true. Without anything to bitch about, I'll lose my identity. A scary concept. Who will I be, what will I do?

Cause you have "Fans" saying it cant' be done, yet it has been done on other films, this is mostly about trying to create fear about BR ability to do Trek and then hope that the Trek that came before BR Trek come back though that is not reality....

And I say "you scare me" and hide under the blankets.

Hey, the water was really cold! :shifty:


Hey, small penis, large hands, so ha! And too bad for...

Oh

Wait

I had that backwards...

Shit

I agree with you, Dennis. There is still time. But make no mistake, my friends. Paramount is absoLUTly watching the 50 Year Clock. The question is, which clock are they watching? The airing of "The Cage"? "The Man Trap"? The first episode? Gene's first post-production prodigious dump?

You take my meaning? "The 50th Anniversary" can mean a couple of things. A Wrinkle in Time, indeed.
 
Saying that is like saying there won't be a scene on the bridge. It's not gonna happen.

Well, they may not specifically need the warp core section of engineering. As far as the rest of engineering goes, there must be big breweries in British Columbia. ;)

First result on Google Image Search for "breweries in british columbia".

Scotty's frat party. Hence, "Has anyone got a towel?" ;)
