The director and producer called the discussions he'd been involved in so far "cursory", but admitted that he'd been salivating about some of the ideas that had been thrown around: "It's about that kind of feeling, like 'oh my god, I can't wait to do that!' I won't be walking away from Trek in any way in the next film. I feel too lucky to be a part of this thing to say goodbye to it."
That ought to assuage some of the fan concern that Abrams might have beamed himself out of the franchise now that his work on the first is complete, although it still doesn't discount the possibility that he might delegate directing duties and serve only as producer. But that was an arrangement that worked well enough for Cloverfield.
The pair also hinted that they're thinking ahead to further instalments, with the intention of starting threads and plots that will be ongoing, much like the loose trilogy of The Wrath of Khan, The Search For Spock and The Voyage Home. They hope to have a script drafted by the end of the year, with Paramount keen to get properly underway as soon as possible.
f they were going to do an war story in the second trek movie it would most likely be the romulans not the klingons, because romulus still existed then. ... Read More

i think that the dour response towards Pegg's Scotty from Trekkies is proof, if proof were needed that many of them take it far too seriously.

Sorry man, show me a pile of shite, and I will point at it and say "That's a pile of shite." That's not dour, that's just honest criticism. I enjoyed most of the humour in Trek, but there seems to be a mindset that everything Pegg touches turns to gold, and that is not the case. He was the one major flaw in an othe... Read More
I wouldn't want to see Pegg dropped, but they could maybe tone down the "comic relief" thing a little in the next outing. And actually give him something worthwhile to do, That said though I did enjoy his performance in the film, but then as a Trek fan and a Pegg fan I was probably bound to anyway ... Read More

I'm not a Trekkie, in fact very far removed from being one.
I just thought Pegg was shit in that role! ... Read More

Scotty isn't supposed to be comic reliefes he is.
No he isn't. He has his humourous bits, same as any other character, but he's not supposed to be a walking joke ("Oh no, I'm stuck in a tube, how hilarious!").

I liked Star Trek... Easily a 4* film but I have to agree, Pegg was the weakest thing in it and really should be ditched for any possible sequels. ... Read More

Assuming they're still enemies in the new timeline. A kickass starship battle with the Klingons has been a long time coming. They come close in First Contact but that was the federation fleet vs 1 Borg cube. The tactical manouvering with the opposing forces would be like some great naval battle. ... Read More
