Next ‘Star Trek’ movie to “go deeper and maintain fun and adventure”
‘Star Trek’ sequel will not be called “Star Trek 2″
Don’t get too used to saying “Star Trek 2″ to your buddies. J.J. Abrams isn’t keeping that name.
The Star Trek director recently said in an interview that the next installment in the venerable sci-fi series will “go deeper” into its story. “The second one has an obligation to go deeper and maintain the fun and adventure in the sense of optimism and scale that ['Trek' originator Gene] Roddenberry created,” Abrams said. “But I do think it has to evolve and not become some polemic over-the-top, on-the-nose allegory,” he continued on explaining his grounds. “It needs to be something that is not just about the characters meeting each other and having their first adventure; it needs to be about having their most meaningful one.”
When the Lost co-creator was asked if the next Trek will be called Star Trek 2, he responded, “I think we can’t really do that, right? I don’t know what you’d call it. It’s a good question. I’m not sure.”
Paramount has secured original writing duo Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, along with Damon Lindelof, to begin work on the script for the next Star Trek which is rumored to be presented in 3D. No official word on that yet.
Star Trek was arguable the best movie from the summer of 2009. In addition to rave reviews, the film made a whopping $383 million worldwide.
