Star Trek 12 Gets Release Date
I'm not sure if its Star Trek 12 or Star Trek 2, but the release date is June 29, 2012.
http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2010/01/11...-nothing-else/ UPDATE: Paramount has confirmed to MTV that the projected release date for the "Star Trek" sequel is indeed June 29, 2012. This counts as news, but there's not much to it. We all know there's a "Star Trek" sequel coming. Hell, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, writers/producers of the May reboot, were talking about sequel possibilities as far back as the week after the first movie came out. Now we have a date to pin our hopes to: June 29, 2012. Nothing else is known or announced, so don't ask. Maybe director J.J. Abrams will return to helm the sequel, maybe he won't. Maybe Khan will be the villain, maybe not. For all we know, the plan is to give us an epic "Star Trek Meets Star Wars" crossover. Could happen, right? The news comes from a variety of sources, including Ain't It Cool News and Box Office Mojo, but there's no Paramount-issued press release that I can find. The information ran through some trustworthy sources, but we've yet to receive comment from the studio directly. Regardless, there really hasn't ever been any doubt that we'd be seeing more "Star Trek." Abrams' take on the series made it friendly to an entirely new, much wider audience than its ever known before. Were you anything less than certain that a "Star Trek" sequel was coming eventually? Where would you like the story to go from where it is now? Any specific hopes for the sequel? |

Doesn't mean they can't come up with their own ideas. I've already seen Gary Mitchell and Khan. They don't need to be rewritten.

As for the stealing part, this happens all the time doesn’t it? New writers expanding on others characters or material. Also, the original writers who created the characters are dead im guessing....

If you're hired to write an episode of television or a movie script, the production company/network owns the script. Period, end of story. The studio can then exploit it (or not) without any further payment to the writer. If the script or film happens to air on television, the writer will receive residuals. It is not "stealing" if a production company or studio, that owns the rights to a particular production, decides to reboot as a TV series or feature film. |

In this case the studio is taking a story that was already written and instead saying it happened another way. Its just lazy and adds nothing.

Following the reveal earlier this month that Benedict Cumberbatch's Star Trek Into Darkness villain goes by the mysterious name of "John Harrison," GyaO! (via TrekMovie) caught up with director J.J. Abrams and Cumberbatch himself. "When J.J. described the role to me… he described someone who was, in movie terms, a mixture of Hannibal Lecter, Jack in 'The Shining,' and the Joker in 'Batman,'" Cumberbatch said. "...He's someone who has enormous physical strength. He's someone who is incredibly dangerous, both as a physical entity and through the use of various technologies and weapons and who performs acts of what I would describe as terrorism. He's also a psychological master. He manipulates the minds of those around him to do his bidding in a very, very subtle way." "His name is John Harrison and he is sort of an... average guy who works in an organization called Starfleet," Abrams added, "and he turns against the group because he has got this backstory and this kind of amazing secret agenda. After two very violent attacks, one in London and one in the US, our characters have to go after this guy and apprehend him. And it is a far more complicated and difficult thing then they ever anticipated. 'Into Darkness' is very much about how intense it gets and really what they are up against." |

I think many Star Trek fans are wondering the same thing. You're taking what was a character driven moralistic series of stories and rewriting them to an action story format. Its not like this was Battlestar Galactica which really had no history or no big fanbase that only grew bigger with time. They actually did the opposite with BSG. They took campy adventure stories and rewrote them with some backbone. In Star Trek they have gutted the original universe and rebooted it. There will be no more stories unless they follow the new format.

I'm glad Abrams is breaking his own ground and not rehashing Khan or Mitchell or anyone else.
Bravo.

True.....but but I'm guessing there's a twist in here somewhere. Its Abrams.
