I would like to know what his ideas where for a STAR TREK movie. It sounded like it would have included both Shatner and Stewart. Would love to have seen what he had in mind.

I really would love to see TNG do a 4 hour mini-series to wrap it all up. If they could get someone like Bryan Singer to either direct or be executive producer (he was executive producer on the SCI-FI mini-series “The Triangle”) it would be great!

DVD sales for that would be huge, for sure, and television ratings would be huge for whoever broadcasts it (CBS? Sci-Fi? NBC?) A great way to wrap up TNG.

Someone like Bryan Singer would certainly have the clout to get Patrick Stewart back.

let me make a point about the abrams superman script. Yes he made various changes to Superman ‘canon’, but then again he was ordered to do so by the producers. At the time they wanted to make superman more of a scifi movie. The script itself isnt bad either. Plus canon means a lot less in the world of comic books where they contradict eachother all the time.

in the case of star trek, he and his team are the producers and they have pledged to ‘respect canon’

if you want to critique his work, then critique stuff that actually got produced, especially stuff that is ’solely’ theirs like Lost, Alias and MI3.

Hey, I agree! Everyone HAS to go to agonybooth.com and read about Abrams SHITACULAR treatment of Superman Returns! You thought the John Peters/Tim Burton take was bad! It’s absolute revisionist bullshit that does no justice to the Superman legacy! If he’s got crap like this in mind for Trek, it’ll be the death of the franchise!! We must put out an APB and let others know of this so that he can’t go this far!!!

Oh great, quote Singer who bailed on X-Men for a poor remake of Superman. Singer can do better.

Hey everybody, go to #33 and click on the agony booth link to read JJ Abrams take on what should be in a Superman film. If he thinks like THIS, I have grave concerns for what he’ll do with Trek XI!! I think there’s a bulb out in this guy’s lighthouse!!

theres quite a few Khan homages in X2

The ice scene with Logan and Stryker (Singer said he got it from Spocks death scene with the glass) and the end sacrifice of Jean grey…sim to Spocks death even down to her doing the end voice over with the Horner-esque music..

Singer would have been a great choice to do Trek XI – sounds like he would have liked to as well – but Abrams will be good…

Wonder if Singer had done it if it would have been what we are getting with the TOS prequel or a TNG film (considering his Patrick Stewart connection)?

Actually…. Superman Returns may have cost $200 million, but Singer didn’t spend all that dough. The movie was in development hell for years, and money was spent with previous directors McG and Burton, Nicholas Cage donning the suit, with a pretty penny spent by Jon Peters for inanity.

Check it out. One source of many, apparently. But don’t blame it all on Singer when this boat’s been out to harbor for years before he came along.
