Star Trek: The Star Trek Part 2

Well Cumberbatch is wearing a Federation shirt so...*Shrugs*

[FilmNerdJamie]

Apparently Cumberbatch is Khan and Nimoy's Spock is back.

Cumberbatch is a misdirect, but Spock is back.

[FilmNerdJamie]

Not crazy about Nimoy being back but God I hope you're right on Benedict.

There's a lot that's just not matching it up for it to be Khan. But, everyone's in the dark as Paramount is being kept out of the loop. Unless you're on the set, no one knows.

Let's add onto that. It feels like planted info, because more shit would've leaked by now. A lot more shit. It doesn't fit the pattern that we've come to expect with human nature and studio security.

Same time into TDKR's production, we knew about Bane and Liam Neeson and the plot structure. What is solid on Star Trek 2 yet?

*It has been rewritten.
*Spock is back due to Leonard Nimoy letting it slip.
*No major ship redesign
*People fight in space.

That's about it.

I notice on TrekMovie's other "scoops" involve saying the Klingons play a big role. Something we reported back in November. Sent a "No harm, no foul" email. See if they respond.

My thing with that is, I want to find out how much of that got eff'd with during the script revamp to accomodate the changes.

[FilmNerdJamie]

Sounds like something they would keep since they also say Klingons play a big role and Orci is a 9/11 nut-job.

Simon Pegg says it ain't Khan...

...but he kinda has to say that doesn't he?

[Abraham Smashington]

Or Khan is in it, but isn't the "big baddie" until the end or something.

[Matt]

It's not Khan? Then it must be Kahn.

[Abraham Smashington]

sounds like they're just giving themselves wiggle room. Also, who cares if it's Kahn or not? Nero sucked ass but the first movie was still awesome. It's not about the bad guy, it's about the crew.

[Bobby Bear]

The Enterprise crew is going to be his backing band, right?

Clancy Brown and Jeff Goldblum... Kirk and Spock.

Somehow I missed this thread until now. References such as these made my catch-up most enjoyable.

Something something Hong Kong Cavaliers. Something Something Pinky Carruthers.

John Lithgow as McCoy, so we get the Buckaroo Banzai reunion I've been demanding. Weller would be the big bad, maybe the Klingon Emperor or something with Christopher Lloyd as Kurge.

Now we're both demanding it, my good man!

I've not been keeping up on the news for this movie (not a spoiler guy) but I really don't want to see them pull some lame Green Lantern shenanigans with this; or use Khan. But like Jamie already said, it wouldn't surprise me given who's involved.

There's just no need. Khan has been done as well as anyone could ask for. I'd still like to see it even if they do go that route; I just think it would be a maddeningly lazy decision.

Karl Urban supposedly let it "slip" its Gary Mitchell.
