I swear this is the last Star Trek item for at least 24 hours. Later this week I'm planning a great little feature on great science fiction novels and maybe we'll talk about robots or something. In the meantime, this is too big to pass up on passing on to all of you.
JJ Abrams new Star Trek prequel is still months away from theaters, and they're already planning the sequel. Variety says:
As Paramount Pictures readies the May 8 release of its "Star Trek" franchise relaunch, the studio is moving forward with a sequel, and has hired Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof to pen the screenplay.
J.J. Abrams, who directed and produced the latest chapter, is onboard to produce the follow-up alongside his Bad Robot partner Bryan Burk. No decision has been made yet on whether Abrams will return behind the camera for the sequel.
You'd think they'd wait for someone to see it before locking in a second one, but it seems Paramount isn't so interested in whether or not people like it. In fact critics in Australia have already seen the film, but they're embargoed from talking about it until the end of April. Whether you like it or not (and let's face it we're probably gonna love it), Star Trek 12 is coming. Or is it Star Trek 2-B? I'm so confused.
