Star Trek Sequel Already Planned

Posted by kdawson on from the boldly-going-again dept.

bowman9991 writes "Paramount Pictures are so confident about the box office potential of the upcoming Star Trek reboot directed by J. J. Abrams that they're already working on a sequel. They've hired Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, and Damon Lindelof to write the screenplay. We're looking at a possible 2011 release for the next Star Trek movie with the same cast. Now that they've committed themselves, let's hope it lives up to expectations."

    Star wars.
    Star trek.

    Two of the biggest ball and chains any geek has had to live with even if they never consented to being tarred with the same brush as all the Star X fans.

    I hope the franchises die an awful death. Having some of their diehard nut fans meet the same fate would also do wonders for our cred. The only good thing about those shows is that it forms the basis for comic-book-guy's character. Oh yeah, and "Luke be a jedi toniiiiiight"......

    Gayest shows ever (yes flame me please, its slashdot and "I'm not new here")

    final nitpick: Star wars is not sci fi. Its a adolescent boy fantasy except with blasters and hyperspace instead of sword and sorcery. Ooh I am cruisin for a flamewar
