‘Star Trek Beyond’ premieres at Comic-Con

The post The heartwrenching reason why J.J. Abrams won’t replace Anton Yelchin’s role in “Star Trek” appeared first on HelloGiggles.

J.J. Abrams and the cast of “Star Trek Beyond” took a moment to remember their former co-star and friend, Anton Yelchin, at the film’s premiere in at Comic-Con in San Diego Wednesday night.

Speaking to WENN at the movie’s United Kingdom premiere last week (end15Jul16), Spock actor Zachary Quinto said, “Losing Anton is unthinkable for all of us and I think it brought us closer together through the bonding of grieving his loss”. “There’s no recasting”, Abrams told Postmedia Network.

Pine told USA TODAY that he’d like to explore an evil version of Kirk and the Enterprise crew taking on evil doppelgangers as a nod to the original 1960s Star Trek TV series. “We had no idea just how devastating events would become”. “And I hope he doesn’t think any less of me, even though he disagrees about the direction that we’ve taken in this movie”. I like that in this iteration we saw some of his private life and that to me gave shape to the stakes of the movie and personalized the stakes. With this, the third film of the reboot, I was a tad disappointed. “Star Trek” has been around for 50 years so it’s a very unique kind of fandom in that there are many generations that have watched it and watched it in many iterations. His third movie, Star Trek Beyond, is released in cinemas in the United Kingdom this Friday, while Sky Greats becomes Sky Cinema Star Trek on Monday, showcasing the sci-fi classic as part of its 50th anniversary.

Bringing people in from the original Trek universe has been done before, as it is how Leonard Nimoy played Spock for the last time in Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness.

In the previous “Star Trek” installment, Spock cried.

I thought it was a handsome idea. The filming has gone global as there are ways to create a movie and Lin was convinced it is the best time to make the manga and to embrace the essence of what is great. Lin, who is also known to direct the franchise “Fast and Furious” 3 to 6, had a great career detour when he was with “Star Trek”. I love him. That’s not going to change.

“And from that point, it was a no brainer because coupled with the experience of getting together with this wonderful cast, who are really like a family, it was something that I just couldn’t turn down”.
