For the seventh Fan Stuff Sunday I have decided to collect art from the, what I call, Trinity of Fan Stuff! We are talking Alex Luthor, Boss Logic, and to round out the group Lord Mesa! Luthor has brought us Batman V Superman, Punisher Netflix, and Star Wars V Star Trek. Boss has delivered a mountain of art to quench the soul. Mesa has given us a plethora of adorableness.
The crew of the starship Enterprise always hopes to go where no one has gone before. For the third movie, that might be “Beyond.”
The third film in the recently rebooted Star Trek series now has a likely title. After Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness, Star Trek 3 is likely to be called Star Trek Beyond. Read more about the Star Trek 3 title below.
TrekMovie.com is reporting the Star Trek 3 title news.
Cornered by MTV at CinemaCon, Simon Pegg seemed to underscore the comments he made last month to SPINOFF, noting that while the films can’t recreate the original TV series, they can embrace its “essence.”
“We can certainly invest in it the spirit of the show and get back to the essence of what it is,” he explained. “What we’re hoping to do is make a ‘Star Trek’ for today that doesn’t forget where it came from.”
Pegg also at least unofficially unconfirmed Elba’s involvement in “Star Trek 3″ — ““Idris is an extraordinary actor and we’re trying to write him a kickass role” — but shot down speculation he’ll play a character from the series.
“This is a five-year mission now, we’re out there,” he said. “We don’t always have to keep bumping into the same people. It’s a massive universe […] so we’re going to try to reflect that in the movie.”
And finally, in the wake of the new Star Wars trailer, Pegg was asked if he thought The Force Awakens would be better than the prequels. Without hesitation, he responded:
“I think the trailer is better than all of the prequels combined.”
Beginning production in June, “Star Trek 3″ features returning cast members Pegg, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana, John Cho and Anton Yelchin. It opens July 8, 2016.
After a sharp turn as the sexy blade-legged assassin in the Matthew Vaughn-directed hit Kingsman: The Secret Service, Sofia Boutella has been set for a lead role in Star Trek 3, which Justin Lin is directing from a script by cast member Simon Pegg and Doug Jung (creator of the TNT series Dark Blue).
Prying loose info on this project is difficult, so I’m not sure whether she’s on the side of good or bad, but I’m told she’s got a lead role in the Paramount/Skydance film produced by Bad Robot that’s based on the Gene Roddenberry series. Paramount has dated the pic’s release for July 8, 2016.
A new TV series set in the universe of Star Trek is in development, according to Latino Review.
The project will reportedly be headed to CBS, who have a long-standing relationship with Paramount, the producers of the film franchise, and who are getting into genre in a big way in the fall with Greg Berlanti’s Supergirl.
They have few details, although an earlier TV reboot titled Star Trek: Federation was proposed a few years back and they’ve heard that X-Men: Days of Future Past director Bryan Singer, who was at one point attached to Federation, is attached to the project.
Collider caught up with Z for Zachariah stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Chris Pine, and Margot Robbie recently to discuss their respective roles in that film, but finished the interview by quizzing the trio on some of their other high profile upcoming projects. For Robbie, that’s Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad. All she would say was that she’s, “Pretty effin excited,” and that “It’s going to be epic.” Ejiofor meanwhile – who is rumoured to be up for a villainous role in Doctor Strange – wasn’t willing to comment on that report, saying only: “You’ll be the first to know.” We’ll see about that! Pine meanwhile was asked to weigh in on the news that Simon Pegg wil rewrite Star Trek 3. “Pretty radical,” he said in response to how he feels about it. “It’s the best thing that could have happened to us. So excited to have Simon behind it. I think the big thing with Trek is that there’s a nice comedic bent to it, so to have Simon architecting that is perfect.” What do you think?
Fast & Furious 6 director Justin Lin will take on directorial duties for Star Trek 3 following the recent departure of Roberto Orci, Deadline reports.
Lin, who is generally credited with salvaging the floundering Fast & Furious franchise and turning it into one of the biggest box-office draws in Hollywood, directed four of those films and has become one of the most sought-after big-franchise directors in the industry, attached to Universal’s The Wolf Man and an untitled Bourne Identity sequel, the fate of which is uncertain following the recent revelation that star Matt Damon and filmmaker Paul Greengrass will return to the series.
He’s also directed episodes of Sony’s acclaimed sitcom Community and HBO’s award-winning True Detective.
Deadline says that while Paramount’s Star Trek wish list featured a number of high-profile names, Lin was the only one actually offered a job. Fan-favorite candidate Jonathan Frakes, who starred in Star Trek: The Next Generation, was reportedly not on the shortlist.
Early reports indicated that Shaun of the Dead’s Edgar Wright was a candidate for the gig, but he wasn’t on the official shortlist either, reportedly having rejected the offer out of hand when he learned the nature of Orci’s departure.
Recently, it was revealed that Orci — who will stay on as a producer — exited as director when the studio wanted a fairly major tonal change to make Star Trek 3 feel more like Guardians of the Galaxy.
