Star Trek 3’s new director will be ‘Fast & Furious 6′ helmer Justin Lin - Polidicks

[quote]EXCLUSIVE: Paramount Pictures, Skydance Productions and JJ Abrams’ Bad Robot just set Justin Lin to direct Star Trek 3, filling the biggest open directing assignment out there with the filmmaker credited with reviving the Fast & Furious series. Lin helmed four of the films that grossed $1.9 billion in worldwide box office.[/quote] [url]http://deadline.com/2014/12/star-trek-3-justin-lin-director-fast-furious-helmer-1201333753/[/url] God dammit. Jonathan Frakes was showing active interest in directing it, but I guess he's not good enough.

star trek 3: tokyo drift F&F's appeal was the car scenes, otherwise they were shit. why would they allow him to direct a movie that doesnt have cars.

Can't wait to watch the Enterprise go warp 9 and drift around a planet playing that annoying theme song. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuJDhFRDx9M[/media]

Let's see, they already make Khan a scrawny white guy, what else can they retcon? New Worf played by Don Glover? New Picard with a mullet?

[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;46774295]It's going to be even more worse then Into Darkness. Sigh.[/QUOTE] what was wrong with into darkness

[QUOTE=djshox;46774321]what was wrong with into darkness[/QUOTE] The references were a bit much, and the character Carol Marcus was just ehhhhhhh

Into Darkness wasn't a bad action movie, but it was a terrible Star Trek movie.

Can't wait! Its going to be so dumb

Since [sp]Spock doesn't die in Into Darkness[/sp], the JJ Star Trek 3 plot will probably focus entirely on the Federation-Klingon war. I hope that turns out well. But I do not have high hopes for a Star Trek 4 remake/reboot/rehash. I couldn't care about the Enterprise crew going back in time to save some whales.

[QUOTE=djshox;46774321]what was wrong with into darkness[/QUOTE] tbh it really feels like a retread of the first movie just with a new villain

what star trek does good at: having geniuses working together and respecting each other and their skill sets what star trek movies don't do good at: having geniuses working together respecting each other and their skill sets frakes would probably make a better director, but it seems star trek has entered its actioney phase and we'll just have to hope for the best, hey who knows, wrath of khan was actioney compaired to startrek TMP and it was the best of the first star trek movies

Nobody really asked for it to be reinvented.

Sadly action is what sells. I would love to watch a starship crew collaborate on some huge problem with interesting character dynamics and lots of sorta made up science. But most people would rather watch starships blow the shit out of each other with some forced subplots.

the new star trek's are great action movies, but retconning khan into benedict cumberbatch and then to top it off rehashing the plot of the wrath of khan for the second movie is a bit ehh

There's nothing wrong with action in Star Trek, but they're missing the science and moral dilemmas that the franchise is known for.

Is this going to be 60s Star Trek or 80s Star Trek? Maybe they can get Frakes to make a cameo. [I]With his beard[/I].

It's almost as if these Hollywood types make bad films to prove they can manipulate people into watching them.

[QUOTE=The Pretender;46775880]There's nothing wrong with action in Star Trek, but they're missing the science and moral dilemmas that the franchise is known for.[/QUOTE] Well when the action starts to influence the plot in the vein of "I'm starting a war because war war war war" then there's a problem. The new star trek movies have earned their criticism. God I could go on and on about how wrong the JJ Abrams movies are. About everything. Even the phasers are wrong!

Chris Pine is the worst Kirk. Captain Kirk, yeah, as Pine does, is a witty, humerous and arrogant mother fucker. But he's only filling half of the role. Kirk, while having all these qualities, is also a well read sonofabitch, knows all his law, "geography", history, science and is in the library a hell of a lot of the time. Pine's Kirk is just a dumbass and we have it shoveled down our throats how much of a "natural leader god!!" he is when we don't even see how/why he is. We're just shown that "he is, accept it, he is a superhero. he doesn't have anything else going for him, so it's amazing how he's come this far!" when that's bullshit. The original James T. Kirk is the fucking man.

i hope it will have vin desel in it

[QUOTE=The Pretender;46775880]There's nothing wrong with action in Star Trek, but they're missing the science and moral dilemmas that the franchise is known for.[/QUOTE] I feel that Robert Orci's (JJ Star Trek writer) grasp on moral dilemmas is what has dumbed the films down from what the entire franchise was like before them. Every episode from each series, every film, each important choice in them revolved around a moral dilemma that didn't always have a happy ending. Sometimes the character's hands were forced, other times they had a steady hold on a situation, and every now and then the character's just had no choice but to sit and watch as events unfolded in front of them. In JJ's Star Trek films, it's all as simplistic as your average action film. Up against bad guys? Are they hurting good guys? Gotta say something bad ass? If yes to all, then just kill the bad guys ([sp]except for the case of Khan in Into Darkness, I like that he wasn't killed automatically[/sp]). Any kind of supposed moral dilemma found in JJ's reboots is simplistic and feels so forced (Like in Star Trek from 2009, [sp]Nero goes back in time, has the chance to do something about the Federation, maybe even possibly make an appeal to help Romulas, but instead goes for blind fury, macho man status and vow to destroy the Federation, only to get killed by the Enterprise crew.[/sp]) The science is fine, even if it's a little rushed, but it could still use some improving. Although, I do have a feeling that they'd have to pull a major overhaul on the writing in order to properly translate moral dilemmas from a TV show to make it fit into a film. (I'll be honest, many of the previous Trek films were either mediocre, or just plain shitty because of a poor transition from TV script to film script. Just look at the majority of the TNG films, all of them except for First Contact were bad. First Contact still suffered from a tv feel, versus having the grandeur of a movie feeling to it, but it still turned out well.)

[QUOTE=Wii60;46774209]star trek 3: tokyo drift F&F's appeal was the car scenes, otherwise they were shit. why would they allow him to direct a movie that doesnt have cars.[/QUOTE] Nah cos Justin Lin also helmed 5 and 6 which were by far the best of the series and the ones that didn't focus on the cars much at all, much more the action and character/family dynamics. Similar to how the Star Trek movies work (cos they're both straight forward Hollywood action flicks). And F&F 5+6 were honestly fantastically well made films, Lin is a great action director.
