Star Trek 3 Shares Important Plot Details

Hot on the heels of yesterday's news that Star Trek 3 could begin shooting in six months time (courtesy of Mr. Spock himself, Zachary Quinto) comes even more confirmation of the start date, release window, and plot details for the third voyage of the rebooted sci-fi franchise. It's Trek-a-palooza around here this week.

The Web site TrekMovie.com has the inside scoop on all the latest rumblings surrounding the new adventure of the Enterprise crew. Basically, all the things we've been hearing about the project are being confirmed, which is pretty surprising given how much secrecy generally surrounds big-budget studio releases.

What we know for sure is that Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness screenwriter Roberto Orci has turned in the first draft of the feature's script. Paramount executives are reportedly pleased with the story, which Orci has said will feature characters that hew more closely to their television counterparts than they have in the previous films. Paramount has yet to make an official announcement, but the buzz around town is that they're aiming to begin filming next February once all the final details are hammered out......

Report: Shatner and Nimoy Scene Written For Star Trek 3 Movie?
by TrekMovie.com Staff

There is a new report out today about the next Star Trek movie having a scene with Kirk and Spock but not for Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto, but the original actors to inhabit those roles.

Bad Ass Digest's Devin Faraci is reporting that he has learned that "Star Trek 3 includes a scene that reteams Shatner and Nimoy onscreen as Kirk and Spock." While this isn't confirmed, we do know that there was a scene written for Shatner (as Kirk) for the 2009 Star Trek movie, but that scene was never part of the script and was never even pitched to Shatner. And, of course Nimoy did appear in both of JJ Abrams' Star Trek films.....

I sure hope they use CGI to make Shat a little slimmer -- the way CGI was used to 'youth-ify' Jeff Bridges in TRON: Legacy.

I remain a fan of the original ST show. Cannot warm up to this rebooted version that's way more Star Wars than star Trek.

REPORT: Orci out as Trek 3 director
by Brian Drew, TrekMovie

BREAKING: Deadline Hollywood's Mike Fleming is reporting that Roberto Orci will no longer be at the helm of the next Star Trek film:

Roberto Orci is beaming off the bridge of the Starship Enterprise on Star Trek 3. Rampant rumors are swirling and I've confirmed there is fire behind the smoke that he won't be directing. I even hear that Edgar Wright and others are on a short list to take the job. Orci stays on the project as producer, I've heard.

The film is intended to be Orci's debut as a film director, as well as his first solo project after parting with long-time writing and producing partner Alex Kurtzman.

This story is very fluid at the moment, and TrekMovie will bring you more details as we get them.

UPDATE: Variety is also reporting that Orci is no longer directing.

Is Jonathan Frakes The Man To Make Star Trek 3 So?
#BringInRiker Campaign Hopes So
by Jared Whitley, TrekMovie

In the wake of the news that Roberto Orci would not, as had previously been announced, be directing the 13th Star Trek movie, rumors are flying across the Internets about why he left and who might replace him. One dedicated group of fans believes that with this particular captain out of his chair, we should promote the first officer to take his place......

Frakes Wants #BringInRiker To Put Him in the Captain's Chair of Star Trek 3
by Jared Whitley, TrekMovie

Riker wants in on the Trek 3 director's chair
Just yesterday, Jonathan Frakes announced that he loves the twitter campaign and would be thrilled to direct the next Star Trek movie. While he has not responded on Twitter, he did give an interview to KOMO News Radio, wherein he said:

Hashtag, BringInRiker! I'm all over it. I say, unabashedly, I'd be great at it and would love to do it. I'm trying to keep the lid on how excited I am about the possibility, knowing it's such a long shot. But there's nothing I would like better.....

Simon Pegg Co-Writing Star Trek 3 With Doug Jung
by Mike Fleming Jr, Deadline Hollywood

EXCLUSIVE: Simon Pegg has been set to co-write Star Trek 3, the film that just got Fast & Furious director Justin Lin aboard after Roberto Orci exited the helmer chair. He will co-write the script with Doug Jung, creator of the TNT series Dark Blue. Pegg's already a pivotal player in the JJ Abrams-produced Paramount/Skydance pic; he also will reprise his role as Scotty, the engineering wiz originated by James Doohan in the original 1960s Gene Roddenberry series. Don't be surprised if Scotty beams up further on the call sheet. Jung also wrote for Bad Robot and Paramount a film called Diamond, which is how he got the gig. They are just getting underway.

Pegg certainly has the writing credits to back him up for such a job. With Edgar Wright, he's scripted the Wright-directed Cornetto trilogy consisting of Shaun Of The Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World's End, as well as Run Fatboy Run.....

Star Trek 3 Casting Latest
Den of Geek

Justin Lin's new Star Trek film is apparently on the hunt for three new major female characters - and Bryan Cranston...

The next Star Trek film (known as either Star Trek 3 or Star Trek 13, depending on your preference) is slowly assembling its crew, and we've discovered over the past 30 days or so that Justin Lin (Fast & Furious) is to direct, whilst Simon Pegg and Doug Jung are penning the latest draft of the script. It's believed that Roberto Orci's story is no longer being used, although that's not been 100% confirmed.

So what's new, then? Well, the folks over at Film Divider reckon they have some details on what we can expect.
Firstly, the plan appears to be to introduce three major new female characters to the current Star Trek screen adventures. One will be the captain of another Federation ship. Then there's going to be the President of the United Federation of Planets, too.

The third new character, though, will apparently be Doctor McCoy's ex-wife. Bones is played by Karl Urban in the current Star Trek films, and his ex-wife could be either Jocelyn Treadway or Pamela Branch, depending which way the screenplay goes. This seems to indicate that Bones will get a bit more screentime this time around as well.

Finally, there's the villain of the next Star Trek adventure. The production is on the hint for a male actor, with the villain "supposed to be Bryan Cranston-like." The site reports that Cranston has indeed had brief discussions about taking on the role in the next Star Trek, but that's as far as it goes right now.

None of this is anywhere near official, of course, and should be classed as rumor right now.

The next Star Trek film is due in cinemas in July 2016.

Could Idris Elba Cancel the Apocalypse of Star Trek 3?
by Jared Whitley , TrekMovie

Most famous to science fiction fans as the hero who declared We are canceling the apocalypse! in Pacific Rim, British actor Idris Elba could be the cause of the next apocalypse in the Star Trek universe, according to an article by Variety.

Youtube video - We are canceling the apocalypse!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsUGU-49I1I

Details of Elba's role are being kept under wraps. Early rumors suggest that Klingons would be the main villains in this movie, as they have not had a full presence in previous installments, but sources would not confirm if that was the case. Paramount and Skydance had no comment.....

....Wild speculation
A commanding, military-type, Elba would make a great heavy to pit against the Enterprise crew. If he were to play a Klingon, he could be one of TOS's holy trinity -- Kang, Koloth, or Kor -- or one of the original movie Klingons. (He would make a fearsome Kruge.)

Other notable Trek villains he could bring to life include Garth of Izar, Kodos the Executioner, or an effects-heavy character like the Gorn. If they want to match Dr. Richard Daystrom, creator of The Ultimate Computer, with another black actor then Elba would be a perfect fit. It seems highly unlikely that someone as striking as Elba would be cast in a Cyrano Jones/Harry Mudd-type role.

As a British heart-throb, Elba's name is frequently tossed around as a potential replacement for Daniel Craig as James Bond. He recently got an endorsement for the role from former 007 Pierce Brosnan. Scoring a franchise of that magnitude might put him out of Star Trek's budget, so if they want him they need to move fast.....

.....Star Trek 3 is set for release on July 8, 2016 and will be directed by Fast & Furious' Justin Lin, as former director J.J. Abrams is busy helming Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Star Trek 3 Reflects Spirit of the TV Show, Simon Pegg Says
Maane Khatchatourian, Variety



Rejoice, Trekkies! The latest sequel to the rebooted Star Trek franchise will capture the spirit of the original TV show.

Co-writer and star Simon Pegg told Comic Book Resources that Star Trek 3, whose script was recently completely overhauled, will have more familiar notes than the previous two films.

I think we just want to take it forward with the spirit of the TV show, Pegg told the site.

Pegg, who will return to play engineering chief Scotty, also said that the new film will be infused with the same optimism and sense of adventure that characterized the original stories.

And it's a story about frontierism and adventure and optimism and fun, and that's where we want to take it, you know, where no man has gone before, where no one has gone before, sensibly corrected for a slighter more enlightened generation, he said. But yeah, that's the mood at the moment.

Star Trek 3 has passed through the hands of several directors since the third installment was first announced. J.J. Abrams, who steered the first two ships, took a back seat as producer in order to take charge of the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens. He passed the baton to writer-director Roberto Orci, who was later given the boot for Fast Fives Justin Lin.

The film is slated for release in July 2016.

BREAKING: Star Trek XIII to be titled Star Trek Beyond
by Kayla Iacovino , TrekMovie


It appears that Star Trek Beyond may be the title of the upcoming Star Trek film, lucky number 13 in the franchise. As far as the storyline is concerned, the title suggests that the new film will venture farther out into the galaxy than we have seen in the previous two Abrams films, as co-writer Simon Pegg has been hinting at for some time now.

Star Trek Beyond
TrekMovie.com has it on good authority that Star Trek Beyond is being used for the title of the new Trek film. What we do know is that the name has been registered with the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), a step that typically signifies a title has been settled on for an upcoming movie. It is possible, given Bad Robot's history of secrecy and pretense, that this is merely a decoy name registered to stir up conjecture amongst the media and fans. But, the official title will need to be registered with the MPAA before the film's release, and given the timeline, it seems likely that such a decision would be made now.

Does this mean our heroes will venture --beyond-- where they have before? We may, as suggested by the film's co-writer Simon Pegg, get to see a more exploration-focused, less Earth-centric storyline. Pegg said in a recent interview to Den of Geek:

Quote:
So for me it's now about the spirit of adventure and exploration and also, in modern terms, just how would that be for people, to be away for that amount of time and that kind of stuff.


Pegg has been expressing similar sentiments about the film's storyline all around the web. Suggesting that he was writing a script to bring Star Trek back to its roots, he had this to say to The Guardian:

Quote:
And it's a story about frontierism and adventure and optimism and fun, and that's where we want to take it, you know. Where no man has gone before where no one has gone before, sensibly corrected for a slighter more enlightened generation. But yeah, that's the mood at the moment.


This will certainly be good news to most fans who have expressed their eagerness to get back to the Final Frontier. So, tell us: what do you think about the new title?

BDT: Star Trek Beyond sounds fine to me.

Apparently Simon Pegg's Goal Is To Make Star Trek 3 Less Star Treky
By Brent McKnight, CINEMABLEND

BDT: I will be happy if they make a good movie, better than the previous two movies.

Star Trek 3 has had its share of problems, and it hasn't even started filming yet. There were behind-the-scenes kerfuffles with the studio that led to the director/writer Roberto Orci parting ways with Paramount. In the aftermath, writing duties for what is now known as Star Trek Beyond were handed over to Simon Pegg, and apparently he's doing what he can to make the script less like Star Trek than ever before.

Pegg has been making waves for his recent comments about the state of geek culture, but his latest statement about how he and the studio are approaching the new Star Trek movie may cause ripples among hardcore fans. Talking with Radio Times (via The Guardian, the RT interview isn't online yet), Pegg talked about taking over the Star Trek Beyond script and what the executives at Paramount want out of the new movie. He says:


Quote:
They had a script for Star Trek that wasn't really working for them. I think the studio was worried that it might have been a little too Star Trek-y.

When Orci, who was set to make his directorial debut with Star Trek 3, broke with Paramount, one of the reasons floating around was because the studio took a look at the success of Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy and wanted to take their franchise in that lucrative direction. For his part, Pegg actually draws a comparison to a different Marvel superhero movie, The Avengers.

That seemingly niche movie, based on a beloved but specialized property, made $1.5 billion dollars, while the last Star Trek movie, Star Trek Into Darkness, made less than one-third of that. And the studio is wondering why. From his description, the approach they're taking is to move away from the feel and aesthetic traditionally associated with Star Trek and give it a makeover. People don't necessarily think of it as a soaring, action-heavy franchise (though the two rebooted films certainly took that approach), and they're looking to alter the public perception, to make it what Pegg calls, "Saturday night entertainment like The Avengers." He continues, saying the strategy is to:


Quote:
make a Western or a thriller or a heist movie, then populate that with Star Trek characters so it's more inclusive to an audience that might be a little bit reticent.

Given the reaction of a large number of longtime Trekkers to the last two movies (there are a lot of fans who aren't particularly pleased with the reincarnations), this isn't going to be welcome news. One of the biggest complaints has already been that the new Star Trek movies don't truly feel like Star Trek, that the emphasis is more on action and spectacular visuals, like a Star Wars movie, rather than the things they love about the earlier franchise. To hear that the studio is trying to move even farther in that direction in order to make it more accessible and palatable to general audiences is going to rub many existing fans the wrong way.

Hopefully Simon Pegg and co-writer Doug Jung will be able to strike a balance between what makes Star Trek its own unique entity, and the more populist style of entertainment that Paramount appears to be after. However it shakes out, we'll find out on July 8, 2016.
