With 37 days and counting before the J.J. Abrams reboot of Star Trek comes out, the studio has already signed J.J. Abrams and a co-writer of Lost and Fringe to work on an additional script, apparently green lighting a sequel. If that is not optimism, I don't know what is!
Abrams has said they won't really work on the script until they see how the reception for the movie and certain story lines are perceived, giving the impression they really want to make a movie for the fans of their movie, which is always a good sign.
That seems to be a trend in Hollywood, approving sequels before the first movie is even aired, essentially a gamble on the profitability of a movie. Do you think this is a smart idea?
I would say betting on this movie at least making the budget back is a sure thing, but I am not sure if it will be a huge blockbuster or not, I'm gonna go out on a limb, here and say it ought to be big, by far the biggest Star Trek movie out, and blowing the 'whale one' out of the water.
Thoughts, praise, criticism?
