Star Trek returns with JJ Abrams

by FakeTrout, filed in Movies on Apr.24, 2006

Alias and Lost creator and Mission Impossible 3 director JJ Abrams has been offically handed the reigns of Star Trek’s 11th feature film outing.
The story involves a young Kirk and Spock in Starfleet Academy. So its a prequel?
I’ll give them the befit of the doubt here, but my biggest gripes about the series following The Next Generation is taking all the action out of Federation space to the outskirts, way outside, and then into the past. Its like, we lost contact with this big universe TNG took so much care to create and only got further away the longer it went on. This movie hardly fixes that but the character credentials are all there so I won’t damn this outright. Lets hope JJ aborted Superman script is a fluke.

Won’t Spock be all old and stuff? I guess they’ll cover all that stuff but still… Spock is on a ship years before Kirk was around as is shown in that episode of TOS where they use all the pilot clips that Spock’s in as flashbacks but make the Captain all old in modern times.

You’re expecting them to follow continuity?

so its young kirk and spock .. with new actors? lame .. sounds like dumb and dumbererer.

I’d rather see them create a whole new cast and angle for a new original movie. And possibly work in old versions of STNG characters. Like take some notes from the setup of things in STNG episodes where they saw something of the future. Hell just steal some setup from the final episode of STNG, and go from there.

They should just get the same guys and pretend they’re not old. Like when they did the flashback episode of Enterprise and Riker was fat and Troi tried to hide her withering beauty with caked on makeup.

dude that’d be awesome old shatner and nemoy acting like they’re young. That’d seriously make millions.

They should make a Captain Sulu movie. They could also get in on some of that Tuvok action.

(pardon me while I geek out) It’s true — the age difference between Kirk and Spock would make it impossible for them to have attended the Academy at the same time, unless Spock enlisted at an unusually older age.

I suppose it could be interesting — Spock struggling with his father to go through with this “foolishness”, Kirk’s similarly troubled family life (we never did get to hear much about Sam before he was killed off). I’m not sure what exists in the canon (books don’t count) as far as how they actually first met — I always got the impression that Spock was a holdover from the previous command. Ha, I guess we could also see one of Dax’s previous hosts, as she claims to have had “relations” with McCoy (who is also older than Kirk). Ah, so many generational inter-relations! Pun intended.

Aside from the characterization, I have no idea what the plot would be that would make it terribly interesting and not enrage fans to no end.

They’ve been trying to do this academy thing for a while. I first heard it as rumblings of a TV series post-Voyager (along with the Captain Sulu rumor). I wasn’t so sure it was a good idea then, either.
