Straight from Cinema Blend's fiercely independent entertainment reporters. J.J. Abrams Promises To 'Honor But Not Revere' Star Wars History Star Trek Into Darkness recently inched past the $200 million mark at the American box office, making it the fourth-biggest film of the year and, counting in international box office, already bigger than the first Star Trek filed under: star trek
Star Trek Into Darkness: Will There Be A Sequel, And Who Should Make It? Star Trek Into Darkness is a hit. Not a giant hit, and not the kind of thing that has studios calling all of their rivals and screaming "Suck it!" while guzzling champagne at 8 a.m. (at least , that's how we picture it), but a big enough hit all the same. Especially when you account for its huge improvement with global audiences, Star Trek Into Darkness has done well enough to keep the franchise alive… which means, inevitably, it's time to start talking about sequels filed under: star trek
Star Trek Merchandise Fights Stopped J.J. Abrams From Building A Massive Trek World Licensing and merchandising rights debates mired Bad Robot and Paramount in legal battles with CBS about what elements from Star Trek canon could be used … and which couldn’t. In fact, these hostile negotiations blocked Abrams from turning his 2009 reboot of the series into a multi-platform entertainment experience. filed under: star trek
The Star Trek Experiment: Can J.J. Abrams Convert A Sci-Fi Hater? this week it was clearly time for the student to become the master, so Katey forced Mack into a sit-down anyway. Mack agreed to watch the first Abrams Star Trek and test a theory the rest of us had that the movie's energy and openness to non-Trekkies would persuade him to get on board. After all, Abrams is going to have the exact same challenge when he takes over the reins of Star Wars. filed under: star trek
Star Trek Into Darkness 'Spoiled' By Conan O'Brien The Enterprise crashes on Tattooine? Spock dies?? Kirk is gay?!? These are Earth-shattering revelations … and they are all bogus. Not as bogus as the blatant reveal dropped on CBS Sunday Morning (and do avoid Google searching for the clip if you don’t want to peek in J.J. Abrams’ vaunted “Mystery Box” before seeing Into Darkness later this week). filed under: star trek
Spock Races Spock In Funny New Commercial The Star Trek spirit is starting to rev up again. Fans have patiently waited four full years for a sequel to J.J. Abrams' 2009 reboot, but now the time has almost come. Star Trek Into Darkness arrives in theaters on May 17, and we can probably expect a full on-slaught of marketing tie-ins and promotions... filed under: star trek
J.J. Abrams Says He Could Still Make Star Trek 3 And Talks Star Wars Plans While responding with simply a smile when asked about details for Star Wars Episode VII, and insisting over and over again that there's no way he can share details about a movie that doesn't exist yet, he did talk about the relief of having George Lucas around as a consultant-- especially after making Star Trek years after creator Gene Roddenberry's death filed under: star trek
New Star Trek Into Darkness Spot Premieres At MTV Movie Awards Featuring plenty of quick cuts and brief glances at each of the characters, the footage focuses quite a bit on the Enterprise crash we already know is coming. That being said, it should still offer fans an extra little kernel of excitement ahead of Star Trek’s May 17 release date, as well as a frank reminder of how incredible the visual effects will no doubt be. filed under: star trek
The IRS Parodies Star Trek, Then Apologizes For It The statement went on to add, "A video of this type would not be made today," which seems to miss the point. Parody whatever you want! Just don't spend $60k to do it! Hell, they could have go the guys from Journey to Planet X and had it done for a fraction of that cost. And I bet theirs would have been way more fun to watch. filed under: star trek
President Obama Mixes Up Star Trek And Star Wars, The Internet Explodes For a month now we've been excitedly talking over all the possibilities brought up by J.J. Abrams directing Star Wars Episode VII, jumping over from rebooting the Star Trek universe and potentially finally uniting the warring sci-fi factions. But as it turns out, we don't have to wait for Abrams to unite the worlds of Trek and Wars. President Obama has already done it-- and completely by accident filed under: star trek
J.J. Abrams Asked Mark Wahlberg To Play Captain Kirk's Father In Star Trek With the May 17 release of Star Trek Into Darkness seemingly taking an eternity to get here, a lot of its initial buzz is getting Dagobah swamped by news of J.J. Abrams' next project, Star Wars Episode VII. It wasn’t as if the two fictional properties weren’t oft mentioned in the same breath before, but now it’s become mandatory. filed under: star trek
What Would It Look Like If Pixar Made A Star Trek Movie? The world was shocked late last year when The Walt Disney Company acquired LucasFilm for $4.05 billion and announced that they would be making a new trilogy of Star Wars films. But what if the studio also purchased Star Trek, and, what's more, handed it over to the geniuses at Pixar? Well, then we might get something like this. filed under: star trek
