Star Trek 4 Will Feature JJ Abrams’ Favorite Story
Justin Lin pulls out all the VFX stops in the final siege at Yorktown, a sequence that shatters the rafters.
Mainly, though, they created a story about diversity and unity, virtues that were revolutionary on television when Gene Roddenberry and company first dropped them in 1966, confronting the forces of destruction and division. “There’s no recasting. I can’t possibly imagine that, and I think Anton deserves better”, said Abrams in his interview with Toronto Sun. “The bitterness was the jealousy I felt because the cast all got to be together again”. “The truth is I felt an odd fatherly pride”, he admits.
Three years into its five-year mission, the Enterprise is dealing with the drudgery of space exploration when Kirk (Chris Pine) and his crew dock at a massive space station. When the ship is disabled on a freakish planet, the officers and the enlisted members of the ship have to separate to survive. The studio has already announced another film planned for the franchise, although a director was not revealed.
And Beyond delivers that, for the most part, although like the 2009 film, it suffers from an underwhelming villain who’s never half as interesting as the main characters. As a result of this, “Beyond” is the most action-oriented movie in the rebooted series. He returns to play Scotty and he co-wrote the screenplay.
“I equate it to us driving a vehicle and building a road at the same time”, Lin said.
This latest adventure follows the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise as they are out exploring the galaxy.
“Justin has proven himself again and again as an incredibly strong storyteller”, Abrams explains, “but what struck me more than anything was his genuine love of Star Trek”.
This third clip starts off with Lieutenant Commander Leonard “Bones” McCoy (Karl Urban) helping an injured Spock, which means the scene likely takes place right after the starship Enterprise is destroyed, with the crew stranded on a mysterious planet.
J.J. hasn’t really told me anything. Interestingly, Star Trek 4 will see James and George “cross paths” in some manner. “We all carry him with us in our heart, tonight”, Quinto said.
Yet while it seemingly isn’t a stretch for Kirk to meet his father before his fateful sacrifice in Star Trek, meeting the original Kirk is a stretch too far for Abrams, since that Kirk died in Star Trek Generations.
