All indications from Paramount over the last few months have shown they are anxious to keep the ball rolling with the Trek franchise and get another movie out ASAP. Now it appears they planning for the long term and want the creative team to be thinking two steps ahead. The latest news comes from a comment from Bob Orci at Comic Con. Also at Comic-Con, Zoe Saldana says the next Star Trek script is ?half done.?
The latest indication of forward thinking comes from a comment made by Star Trek co-writer Roberto Orci at a party at Comic Con to io9. When asked if he could give an update on the latest meeting with Paramount about the next film, he said:"Nothing was decided [at the last meeting]. It was really about, hmmm. You know what, I?ll give you a tidbit. [They said to us] ?We thought maybe you could do that as like 2 and 3.?"
This is actually not the first time Orci has talked about the third film from the new team. Back in June he told Collider that the team were thinking about linking the next two films, saying:"In terms of thinking about more than one movie, we want the movie to be self-contained in a way, but we?re discussing the idea of having a couple of threads where if the second movie works, you could pick up into a cohesive whole."
At the time Orci cited the Spock/McCoy ?remember? scene in Star Trek II, which was picked up in Star Trek III. Of course it has been reported before that the new crew are all up for options for two additional films, so it makes sense for the studio to be thinking long-term. Studio bosses have been touting Trek as one of their key franchises moving forward. The question now is, how far will they take this link between the second and third films? An extreme case would be to go as far as filming them back to back, which has been done before, like with the Lord of the Rings films or the last two Back to the Future films. One thing is for sure, it looks like there is more Trek in our future.
so now its jumping on the trilogy bandwagon.... figures.
Quoteso now its jumping on the trilogy bandwagon.... figures.umm it was already on that bandwagon since the cast signed up for 3 movies....
i guess you could call that arrogance in its finest.i still havnt seen it yet. moneys a bitch
Not that that's a bad thing...usually. Spider-man 3 was fairly awful, so hopefully Star Trek doesn't follow that Good-Awesome-Crap motif.
