Hallelujah! Best news about this project I’ve heard yet.

No chance in hell for Nicholas Meyer or Jonathan Frakes. They wanna go forward not backward.

Of course, this still doesn't stop the out-of-touch fanboys over at places like TrekMovie.com from wistfully believing that Leonard Nimoy or Jonathan Frakes will somehow get the job, because apparently it's either 1986 or 1997.

Edgar Wright's never gonna happen in a million years, or at least not if he doesn't get the time to develop the script to his satisfaction.

Yeah, I doubt he's interested in getting into a situation that will probably be even worse than whatever made him leave or get fired from Antman.

Yeah, because someone with previous experience helming a successful Trek movie shouldn't even be considered for the job. Is it because they are too old?

In this day and age they would be out of touch regarding what audiences want imo. I don't think their style of filmmaking would work today.

 

[MattBradley]

JJ will be free soon.

 

[Tino]

I would love JJ to come back to Trek. But that starship has sailed. How bout Matt Reeves?

Matt Reeves would be a great choice!

Some fans are already lobbying for Mr. Frakes.http://trekmovie.com/2014/12/06/is-jonathan-frakes-the-man-to-make-star-trek-3-so-bringinriker-campaign-hopes-so/

Unfortunately all in vain Nelson. No chance ever they give it to him...or Meyer...or Nimoy. It just ain't gonna happen.

 

[Tino]

Under the hashtag #BringInRiker, dozens of Trek fans started tweeting yesterday to recruit Jonathan Frakes to take over.

Wow..dozens!

 

[Lou Sytsma]

No. NO. NO!

Bring in someone new to the franchise. Someone with some creds. It's the 50th anniversary. Treat it with the respect it deserves.

 

[Jonathan Perregaux]

I hear George Lucas isn't doing anything...

 

[Lou Sytsma]

...and let's keep it that way.

As long as we're just tossing out director names, I'd love to see what Bryan Singer could do with a NewTrek film (though I know he's busy with X-Men: Apocalypse).

As long as we're just tossing out director names, I'd love to see what Bryan Singer could do with a NewTrek film (though I know he's busy with X-Men: Apocalypse).

And we know he's a fan. That's another very good name to toss into the mix!

 

[dpippel]

Personally I'm glad he's busy. I don't think that Singer is a good match for the material. Shoot me for saying so, but I wonder what the Coen's would do with something like Star Trek, man.

Good solid film making ever goes out of style, in spite of what a studio thinks is trendy these days. TWOK was good enough to essentially remake as STID.

According to the IMDB, Meyer and Frakes are still working. Meyer has a film coming out next year.

 

[Tino]

Do you seriously think paramount would ever consider them?? No chance. Ever. End of story. Move along. Nothing to see here.

 

[Osato]

I'd love to see frames or Meyer directing trek 3.How about tom hanks or Mel Gibson???I'm curious to see who will direct and why orci left. Most curious as the film was to start filming soon? A few months??
