Star Trek Sequel Already Planned
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."
whats this going to be, movie 15 by now?
What the hell!? They had to leave the field lie fallow for five years because they had squeezed every last ounce of creativity out of the last production team working on Trek. Now the comeback movie hasn't even been released yet and they're already back to raping the land for all it's worth.

I disagree, Nemesis was a very good movie. I really dont get it why people dislike the movie.
Yes, it was very dark and not the normal Trek, but it was still good and explored some interesting questions (i.e. who am I, what is a person?).
"Civis Europaeus sum!"
I like to think of it as "Younger and Edgier."
I decided right then to save a few $'s and see Star Trek on the small screen.
Great idea.
That way, when it becomes unbearable, you can simply close the phone.
I read the title as "Star Trek Sequel Already Panned".
...'tis easier to blame than to improve.
Another fucking sequel.
Hollywood is on its way out.
The great Uwe Boll!!! You heard it here first folks.
No, no... You're missing the big picture. With both Roddenberry and Barrett passed on, the vacuum energy created by the suction of this next release should set their final remains into a "Hyper-spin". This in turn will induce a casimir effect so we can create the first stable worm hole. Since only parts of their remains are being launched into space, this will allow one end of the wormhole to remain on earth while the other extends deep into outer space allowing us travel to the stars at a fraction of the cost needed to produce nanotube beanstalks.
See? It's absolutely brilliant!
Blessed with all the brains that God gave a duck's ass, and twice the charisma.
Star Trek has light sabers too these days? As a great half-man once said, "fascinating."

Yeah, and you lost poor Jacqui her job. Still, she was on the fiddle and had to go, would you mind seeing to the rest of them too? You can have all the pr0n you want.
If God forks the Universe every time you roll a die, he'd better have a damned good memory.
Please tell me this is the start of April Fool's Day. The new movie looks like it's totally disrespecting the source material (seriously, the trailer made it look like a mindless sex-and-violence movie)... I'd rather not see more like that.
Erm did you ever see the original series in it's original late night spot???
Mindless sex and violence was what I remember but hey at least it was in space:)
Build a Man a Fire, and He'll Be Warm for a Day. Set a Man on Fire, and He'll Be Warm for the Rest of His Life.

"DATA: The transporters conveniently failed after sending Picard, so I'm going to leap across space to get to Shinzon's ship.
GEORDI: What about the transporters in the shuttles?
DATA: Shut up.
GEORDI: What about the Captain's Yacht?
DATA: Shut up.
GEORDI: Why didn't we just send a bomb instead of Picard?
DATA: Shut up.
GEORDI: What about the transporters in the cargo bays? They're independent units, remember?
DATA: What part of "shut the fuck up" do you not understand? This is my big heroic exit, asshole. Don't fuck it up."
This has to be some of the best dialog I've read for Star Trek. if sums up every contrived scene in almost every show and movie. FCOL, if you can't use technology to your advantage, you don't deserve it.
Best laugh of the morning for me.
Life is a great ride, the vehicle doesn't matter
I agree I haven't read something so funny in a long time.
RIKER: Dim red light makes everything look more foreboding.
WORF: But didn't they say that the Remans see really well in the dark and can't stand bright lights? Why don't we crank up the lights to fullbright and blind 'em?
RIKER: Shut up and just try to look dramatic.
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.
