He’s being respectful to it, but keep in mind that regardless how much time, energy and $$ you and I may have in it. We don’t own it. I believe Abrams will do fine.

i,like the rest of you i suspect, am optimistic that this could be our future if we ever learn to trust each other enough to form a world govt.
But i believe that certian sociological changes are already progressing towards that …ie in 50-100years there will only be 4 common languages on our planet and eventually just one ! this will go miles towards bringing us together .
so its not totally improbable that in 400years we would have solved most if not all of our social problems and by doing so been able to pool our resources and brng about the liberation of the human race

which is after all what this great saga is all about ..
anyway back to the point
i like abrahms as a director and producer we need new blood ..

bring it on mate ….i wait with bated breath for your masterpiece
anyway soon with cgi technology advancing exponentionally they could rebuild the original TOS crew without EVER having them get any older

unfortunately the studios with this sort of power would ressurect every aweful franchise and screw it up for the rest of us.

tell u what tho id like to see a big budget remake of voyage to the bottom of the sea …now theres a thot

When are you people gonna learn? Kirk is a part that can be played by any competent actor. I don’t know Chris Pine’s work, but if J.J. picked him (yes, directors get to pick) then it’s OK by me. If you want to see Shatner, then you have a ton of stuff to watch. Someone leak a call sheet because until I see one with his name on it, he ain’t in it.

I suspect everyone on this thread that says, “No Shatner, no deal,” will line up 5 days before the opening to watch the first midnight showing. Because, we’re all Trek’s bitches. It’s a fact. Live with it or go cold turkey.

You two decide who said what, I’m not going to be double teamed here.
“#159 “He doesn’t want a cameo… he wants the star treatment again.”

I’d like to see your source for that claim, Xai? Oh, right. You don’t have one – you made it up!”

He does that constantly.

“including insulting JJ”

“Again … source, please? Making stuff up gets really annoying, fyi.”

Try visiting the other thread, he makes up all kinds of stuff.

A.
He wants in.
He’s been quoted on this site saying he doesn’t want a cameo.
He’s complained about the “bad” business decision as well as “silly and stupid”. But you already know all this and I don’t feel the need to trace this down when this is common knowledge.

A, .We’ve “discussed” this on the other thread. He complained and you said it was “feedback” among other things. Now you say he said nothing at all. Let us know when you have made up your mind.
And yes, let’s DO invite all the posters back to the other Shatner thread and see how that all went down. I think Anthony left a message to you there as well. I’m done with your troll and bait game.

We already have. It was called DS9. Too bad we will never see that cast again, whether in a film or miniseries, even though the show ended wide open for a reunion/continuation to their storyline.

Anyhow, I have no interest in this new film. ST10 should’ve been a conclusion/resolution to the Spock on Romulus (with the TNG crew) storyline instead of the travesty that was Nemesis.

Even if the new movie deals with Spock on Romulus, I’m not interested in seeing other actors play the original cast. I think the casting has been lousy to say the least.

Rumors that the new movie will have Kirk beating the Kobyashi Maru by seducing a female tech, and getting her to change the programming, strike me as shallow and insulting. It’s not what I had in mind as the “original thinking” that Kirk was commended for. But then, I don’t think Abrams gives a rip about continuity.

If people want to see this, and if they end up enjoying it, that’s great. I just won’t be supporting it. There’s a lot of other things I’d have rather seen Star Trek do than just a “re-imagining” of the past.

Then you’re a shallow, ageist (
