No, Star Trek Is Not Too Star Treky

The World Transformed

Chris Pine and Chris Hemsworth are out. The fourth Star Trek movie in the current franchise appears to be dead in the water. Phil and Stephen take a look at where things have been going wrong for Trek and what might set things right. First off, check out this video, which gives a good low-down with the current situation. Star Trek 4 Loses Pine and Hemsworth - The Rise and Fall of The Kelvin Timeline What we know of Star Trek 4 sounds interesting. The story potentially involves time travel via the Gateway to Eternity and an attempt to set things that went wrong in the first movie right. Interestingly, Paramount canceled a project similar to that when they fired Roberto Orci and threw away his script in order to make Star Trek Beyond. Simon Pegg, who wrote Star Trek Beyond, explained that Orci’s story was too "Star Treky." https://screenrant.com/star-trek-3-beyond-script-orci-simon-pegg/ That such an objection could even be made speak volumes. All these studios seem to think they’re going to do something akin to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. (Hello, Star Wars?) Hint: not going to happen. What they COULD do is a successful version of what they have, but it needs to be true to the material they’re working with. In the long run, Star Trek is certain to live long and prosper. But it’s going to be interesting to see what happens next. Time to let Tarantino give it a go?
