Roberto Orci on "Star Trek" Sequel

fuck yea, jj is the shit. so is startrek cloverfield and lost! YEA!
get amongst it!


ok, im done.

Yes, but Orci didn't answer the real question burning on every American's mind. Will William Shatner sing karaoke-style in this sequel???

Looking forward to this....Lets hope will Shatner shows up for a cameo

MI3 was pretty good too. Who gives a fuck what they got planned next? If its half as good as the first it'll blow the competition away. Star Trek is still the best movie of the year so far.

star trek wasn't bad, but a shatner cameo? he follows spock back in time using more red matter to get his younger self to save money by shopping around online for the best plane tickets and hotel costs. Next will be the TJ hooker remake.

Most trilogies or sagas, in my opinion, are decent enough. If they planned ahead and did their research, I think the next two Star Trek movies won't be complete disappointments.

Despite all the talk about the new Star Trek and how its nothing like the old. Thank God! I loved the special effects and the attractive cast was nice for change. The older Star Trek episodes were always so cheesy and had unattractive bad actors.

"The older Star Trek episodes were always so cheesy and had unattractive bad actors"

That's goddamned dumbest thing I've ever heard. First of all, are people in real life always attractive? That's got to be the most shallow and idiotic remark I've EVER heard. So what, if people aren't just drop dead gorgeous, the film sucks? Does that look like real life at all? Do you think the future will be full of perfect beautiful people? Young William Shatner, young Mirina Sirtis, Johnathin Frakes, Denise Crosby, Gates McFadden...Jeri Ryan and Robert Beltran are ugly to you? Or are you talking about the TOS crew? I mean, is the fucking engineer of a SPACESHIP supposed to look like a GQ model?? And let's face it, Urban, Pegg, Quinto, Greenwood and Cho aren't exactly people I'd pay to fuck. And you do recall that the TOS crew WAS young once. Right? Never mind that the TOS show was filmed in the late 60s! They didn't even have Photoshop back then, or Mac IIes. They didn't have anything but cheap styrofoam, camera shakes and green screen. They didn't have teeth whitening or Nuke/AfterEffects/Fusion plugins to make people more beautiful. Goddamn it man, you're about as superficial as one can get. I bet you can't read a classic book without imagining all the characters as models and porn starts, right? Wuthering Heights in your mind is young brad Pitt and Sharon Tate, right?

See, your fucking attitude is partly why so many modern movies suck. Your thinking. And studios are aware that the current young generation is shallow, mindless and superficial. That's why they fill films with 'sexy' people where there should be none. Studios know exactly what you're thinking.

Star Trek isn't about 'sexiness'. Sure, sexuality is in there. it's part of normal life, but even less than perfect looking people get laid, dude. Jesus Fucking Christ. Stra Trek is about the exploration of ideas, space and the dynamics between people and other cultures. Or, it WAS until the latest movie, which was made because the 14-28 demo doesn't care about any of these things, just their cell phone, brightening their teeth and making money. Gone is the old revolutionary attention to history, change and a 'new world'. that's why Star Trek 09 sucked. Mindless fucking Star Wars.

@mink

that's y i like seeing seth rogan as the leading man in movies, because he's an every man. just about everybody knows a guy like him, someone who mostly talks about doin something with his life, all the while smoking weed and playing video games, yet still able to score with decent bitches cuz he's funny and cool to hang with. Critics however hate that he's popular, saying that people are pretty much settling for ppl who are overweight and lazy, when it just shows that guys who aren't zac efron can still get with good looking chicks. especially if alcohol is involved...or if u slip her a rufie.

Look, I'm all for anybody that's capable getting the roles. I dislike Rogen because I can't stand his films and I don't find his comical stylings to my liking. I'm fine with less than perfect people in films. Works for me absolutely. I don't really look at their appearance. I look at what they bring. To use a Star Trek actor as an example, Patrick Stewart is just AWESOME. He's a damned fine actor and he isn't perfect or beautiful. He commands presence and plays his roles with near fucking perfection. Kathy Bates is another.

If I want bad videos full of beautiful people, I'll watch some soap operas. Hell, that's what Hollywood fucking turned Star Trek into, a fucking soap opera, when it was supposed to be a SPACE opera. When I want to enjoy a film with fine acting, taut action and story, perhaps with a message or some other facet of intelligent filmmaking, HOPEFULLY I still depend on those dopes on the east coast.

In short, whoever can fill the role best, despite perfect teeth, blue eyes and Aryan appearance. Its like Hollywood is peddling, through popular culture, the notion of a master race. Yeah, like Channing's good looks or Megan Fox's beauty make up for their total lack of talent and vacuum of brains.

And despite my dislike for Rogen, yeah, he does do what he's supposed to accomplish.
