Star Trek Reboot Movie 2 -- The Cumberbatching

Terrance Stamp?

"Kneel before Zod Khan."

I have no interest in the rest of this ST series, but they don't seem to have cast an actor as Khan, so maybe that's just some red herring?

Please no Khan.

Khan more like Khan't.

I can tell there's going to be a million slash fictions launched from that first picture alone.

it's Star Trek, that could have been a picture of Zachary Quinto holding a Tribble and it would have launched a million slash fictions

I've seen this Cumberbatch in a couple films and he's really made no impression whatsoever on me.

Well, ST has already tackled Sherlock Holmes.

So maybe it is a Sherlock/ST crossover.

but they don't seem to have cast an actor as Khan

they cast the guy from Carlos. Originally it was Benicio Del Toro but he dropped out. can you think of any other reason they'd be eager to attach a big name latino actor to the film?

a startling re-imagination of Nurse Chapel?

However, Roberto Orci considers bringing Khan back a risky venture, saying "why take the chance?"

whew

Derek Jacobi!

Terrance Stamp?

would be down with either of these dudes, ESPECIALLY Stamp. figured jacobi was dead tbh.

hoping they do harry mudd instead

xpost -- Nah he was in that Anonymous thing in fall.

Jacobi doesnt believe Roddenberry created Star Trek

hmmm I guess the Carlos-actor thing was a rumor from a month ago? dunno what to think now...

also casting another Latino actor as an Indian character wd be weird

yeah nothin on iMdB about Edgar Ramirez

well why break with tradition amirite

Rumor has it they've been researching years of fan fiction to help construct the screenplay. It sounds like the new villain will be plucked straight out of trekfanfiction.net

Great, it'll be nothing but Kirk and Spock fucking their way around the galaxy.

Unless someone pens some Pulaski/Bev Crusher slash.

let's possess this planet!

This thread is reminding me of how fantastic the Rifftrax for the first movie is.

YES! So good

Though y'all loathed every recent poorly executed remake, rehashed yucky sequels garner outpourings of delight. Does everyone enjoy dumb shit?

i know i do

sign me up

this was a poorly executed remake i enjoyed thoroughly

That needs a #morbs hashtag. xxxp

No, sorry, it needs an #obtusecallbacktoa3yearoldjoke hashtag.

I wish people wouldn't use "callback" for "reference." A callback is the reason a Broadway gypsy can't have sex with me on a specific day.

"It's Morbz' tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurn!"

Neddy, is that your audition for A Chorus Line?

That...I can't do.

If it's not a callback, what exactly did you need those headshots for, Morbs?

Assassins is surely the ultimate Morbsical

dying

from Greenwald's heart I spit at thee

Actually I read all of Greenwald in the voice of Caliban ala Khan's death scene.

Video of the scene from which those stills come here.

^ lol

imho they took way too long to start on this, there should have been a star trek 2 in theaters 2 years later, i mean, what were those guys even doing

apparently Chris Pine was making that spy romcom with Tom Hardy

Agreed, it's not like Super 8 was so important it had to be rushed out to theaters before the sequel. There's no expiration date on emo aliens! xp

OK, so from that video it looks like steampunk Sherlock Holmes beats up Spock...

And looking FURTHER ahead

http://io9.com/5916959/plans-for-the-third-and-final-star-trek-movie-are-already-underway

I'm sure I'll love it, but I hope - HOPE - that they'll end it by somehow putting them back into the REAL timeline.

You know the third one will be some mirror mirror shit... hopefully done well.

let's possess this planet!

This just made my evening

As long as there is a Paramount, there will be Star Trek movies (that I will be skipping).

^^the kind of open-minded attitude that Roddenberry championed all those years ago

they didnt have REBOOTS when Rodd came up w/ IDIC

it's true, that word has only come into popular parlance in the last several decades.

if only they had it when Hammer started making Dracula films with Christopher Lee...I might have been less confused.

"It's like 'Wagon Train' in outer space."

LOL @ anyone thinking this will end on the third film if this continues to bank.

If you don't end it on the third film, you can't reboot it again.

If you don't end it on the third film, you can't reboot it again.

The original ST crew went 6 movies before the TNG took over!

Also:
Batman (1989)
Batman Returns (1992)
Batman Forever (1995)
Batman & Robin (1997)

But rebooting is how things work now.

Forced reboots often follow the blue screen of death, amirite?

Lol perfect

My only question is why it took them 4 years to make part 2, that's way too long a wait IMO

bcz the current cast looked like 21 Jump Street?

(then again, that's what the customers like)

what did you think of the first reboot, morbs?

im assuming abrams took too long with super 8 and paramount didnt feel like getting someone else to do it. they had a 2012 release date set but when abrams finally committed there wasnt even a real script and it had to get pushed back

This is almost a p good phantom menace joke

this doesn't make any sense as an answer to my question, regardless it is very insightful.

Star Trek Into Darkness. Hopefully they go the full Die Hard route with the sequels.

Don't know if they'll do it with this one, but I suspect the writers could revive all the Vulcans with the plot of Star Trek III.

been well zung already: Star Trek: Into Darkness

Bummed that my killer acrostic will be forgotten by time because of a thread change.
