I heard these guys banged out the script post haste, like just another gig in a few days or a few hours and that was that. Pushed it through on j.j.'s clout.
I don't know where you get your info, 'cause it sounds like JJ wanted to do this movie. Whether on not it's a good movie I can't really say. But I doubt it was a 15- minute first draft. Movie scripts are hundreds of pages long.
To deny the events of TOS never really happened is a mistake. That was GR's vision.
To be technical about it, no TOS wasn't the GR vision. "The Cage" was the GR vision, and even GR denied it happened, so I can't say that alone dooms anything. That's actually the weirdest part of this little universe -- the first stories ever broadcast were a reboot. So reboots work just fine in the Trekverse.
They would be side stepping it when they could have used it to their advantage as like these are the events that made them legends, instead it will be these are the events that lead them nowhere or somewhere else to start again and be better than what Roddenberry did.
Who said it would be better? It will be different. No two people can tell the same story in the same way, so anybody writing in the trekverse is going to put their own stamp on it.
You have the Xortex nature, I have the Balthier nature. We aren't the same people. We see things differently, and if we both decided to write a Trek fan fiction, they'd look different. Different isn't better or worse, just different. (/zen bullshit)
Many went down that path and died. But he's no fool, there's always the reset button, as though the movie never happened. Travelling back in time to set the events into place sounds like an episode of Voyager - Braga opus with the u.s.s. Exiter and Garrat Wang episode or even All good things.
So wait, he's gonna
die? Please tell me you aren't serious about this.
I'll admit I'm not a fan of time travelling reset buttons, but I'll lay aside the misgivings 'til we have at least the movie poster if not a trailer. It doesn't sound like what I'd pick, but I'm not sure what I'd have said about the premise of Dr. Who had I never watched it.
They better not be similar to anything else brannon will be writing the next one, which really isn't such a bad thing Though he has proven himself to be the worst ST movie writer of them all. Who knows why ? The idea for the borg movie was terrible and he did the first one about the nexus with berman so...
So you hate Brannon (whoever he is), Braga, and Bermen, but you want them to write the next movie, and reboot the reboot? But rebooting is
bad because it messes with the vision, but the vision is a reboot of the original vision, so you want to reboot back to the reboot of the original version, which is a reboot of the real original version.
Maybe all of that is supposed to clear my head of all conscious thought, but it's giving me a headache. I don't think you'll ever be accused of having the Spock-nature.
or a flash movie who is better of the two evils.
