Robert Orci takes over Star Trek 3
Interesting choice. A ton of writing and producing credits, but never directed anything.
http://variety.com/2014/film/news/ro...-3-1201180140/ After weeks of rumblings that Roberto Orci was the frontrunner, sources have told Variety that Skydance and Paramount have indeed tapped Orci to direct Paramount and Skydance’s “Star Trek 3.” Orci is currently writing the story with J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay and had been campaigning to replace J.J. Abrams as director for some time. Abrams is busy with directing the next installment of the “Star Wars” franchise and will only be producing this pic. Par, Skydance and his reps had no comment. Plot details are unknown, but cast members including Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto are expected to return. Abrams will produce along with his producing partner Bryan Burke and Skydance’s David Ellison. The news comes after Orci and longtime writing partner Alex Kurtzman decided to go their separate ways on future filmmaking endeavors (although their TV production company is staying intact). Sources had told Variety that both were looking to direct more pics and that going solo would be in the best interest of both parties. |

Um.... Did you watch DS9? The show did a good job painting the Maquis' POV as they were being stamped out by the empirical Federation. If anything, DS9 exposed TNG's 'perfect' Federation's dark side.

That said, it's hard to envision a weekly Star Trek show due to the budget. They were at $4 million an episode back when it went off the air in the 90's and would like cost significantly more in 2015. They might be looking at $6 million an Epi, even with a new cast, which would put a 13 episode commitment at $78 million, which is more than Game of Thrones. Star Trek TV programs have never had a GOT type audience. It's a tough sell. |

Yeah, this doesn't bode well.

Closest thing we thing we've seen is the Judd Apatow / Chris Nolan reusing the same roster of actors for their flicker shows.

Orci's script was dumped.
I think Paramount is going to screw this up by forcing a film out by 2016. New director, new script, filming and post in the next 18 months spells disaster, IMO. |

What's the best case scenario for this film if they do force it out by 2016? Maybe I'm crazy, but I'm intrigued by Lin directing this thing.

This is going to be the worst Star Trek movie ever.
