Way To Fix Chris Pine No show!

Hi, Hearing that Pine has pulled out of Star Trek 4 (Kelvin) I have come up with a plot to save the movie. Going with the other Kelvin movies habit of using the original movie of the same number rethought, here is my plot for Star Trek 4(Kelvin)





The Enterprise captures a Klingon Bird of Prey in Federation space, who crew destroys a time displacement generator which changes the timeline. We flash to the bridge to find Kirk missing (see no need for Chris Pine). The others realize something is amiss set about to interrogate the Klingons with Spock performing a Mind Meld. This Mind Meld shows the Klingons plan to send an agent back in time to brainwash a Humpbacked Whale into seeing humans as clouds of plankton. This whale has successfully assassinated Captain Kirks ancestor, eliminating the current Kirk and Allowing for a future where the Klingons will win out.



The Brilliance of Engineer Scott and the logic of Spock with the euphemisms of McCoy, fix the device but have to guess when in time to appear. The enterprise and the Klingon BOP go back in time to early 21st century earth. They track down the Kirk family and find Kirks Great Great Grandfather (played by William Shatner) who after not believing them, with some hilarious results, finally tells them where his son, Kirks Great Grandfather is. They beam aboard his boat to find the crew in morning. They are too late. Captain Kirks Great Granddaddy has been killed, while extreme scuba diving the Marianas Trench, by a rogue Humpback whale that mistakes him for krill.



Unfortunately the last time jump was too much for the patched up Time displacement equipment, which has exploded into a million tiny pieces and is un-salvageable. All looks lost, however, the Brilliance of Engineer Scott and the logic of Spock with the euphemisms of Dr McCoy, figure out a daring plan to fix this problem using some tachyons, neutrinos and stuff. This plan fails due to its extreme complexity and Scotty and Spock have a falling out creating cinematic drama and tension. They make up after McCoy flowers them with Aesop style stories filled with euphemisms. The re-inspired crew get back to work on rescuing Captain Kirk from irrelevant obscurity.



Running out of time to fix time, they embark on a dangerous plan that involves flying the Captured Klingon Bird of Prey, into the core of the earth and self destructing it, just after being beamed back to the Enterprise. This creates a planetary, inverse, polarity, sonic pulse that does a Superman 1 style rewind of localised time, as well as the overloading of every single Humpback whales inbuilt sonar apparatus. This causes every Humpback on earths head to explode and wipes out the entire species before Great Granddaddy Kirk is converted into whale poo. The saved Kirk and his dad, will then wave farewell to the enterprise as it slingshots back around the sun and into the future. (this leaves it linked to the plot of the original Star Trek 4 which the original crew comes back to saves some whales just before this extinction event so they can appease the space probe, turd cylinder.)





Another random scene idea instead is Shatner, throwing a photon torpedo into the Rogue Humpbacks mouth, then shooting it with a rifle from a sinking Bird of Prey, blowing it and the whale sky high and making a nice dinner for a flock of gulls. A bit more Jaws then original Star Trek 4, though still a cool mental image.

Anyone else with good or hilarious plot ideas for the new movie that write out Pine and Hemsworth, feel free to post
 
I got to a whale assassin and stopped.

edited to add: sorry. that seemd rude. you put a lot of time into that. Welcome to the forum. I just keep having images of a humpback whale stuffed into a book depository with a Carcano, now.
 
I would buy a ticket to this movie as long as it is IMAX 3-D.

I think the filmmakers should treat Kirk almost like Columbo's wife was in that series: they should act as though Kirk is still in the movie, just slightly off-camera or in the other room. Maybe you catch a glimpse of his arm or the back of his head. He could also have "numb tongue" again, allowing any voice actor to fill in the dialogue. This seems like the perfect solution.
 
Is there no hope of getting Pine back? He's out of the picture for good?
He has a contract that guarantees him X amount (rumour has it in the $9 mill+ range) for a sequel. But after Beyond, they don't want to pay him that because they don't think the movie will make enough to justify it. If Trek was all Pine had he might fold, but it isn't. And it certainly isn't all Hemsworth has going.

There's no real way to square that circle.
 
Kirk is on leave, and is reported missing.

Spock rallies the crew, action happens. Drama, drama, drama, Action, action, action.

Oh, no! Temporal anomaly!

The Enterprise finds itself orbiting Rura Penthe. A scan reveals one human inhabitant. Landing party!

Disguises, intrigue, action. Human located!

Approaching a dimly lit figure in a cell. Lights come up, and reveal ...

Shatner!

Back on the bridge, Kirk and McCoy poke fun at Spock. Laughter all around.

Roll credits.
