you needed flares when you typed that...

just in my opinion, I like the revised Khan idea. It's not nessecary..but cool nonetheless

It'd suck if they skipped ahead the 10-15 years from where then ended the first movie just so they could slot Khan into that. Remember folks, the new movie ended chronologically before even the pilot episode of the original series. There's still all the stuff that happened in those eps plus another five year gap between them and Star Trek:The Motionless Picture, then however long it took until TWOK.

He can't be all wrathy, anyhow, until he has his first encounter the Botany Bay. Botany Bay? Botany Bay! BOTANY BAY!

Actually was referring more to Space Seed than TWOK. Khan did appear in the first season of Trek. Plus, we'er looking at a new timeline, so they could run into Botany bay earlier....later.....or not at all.

Again..not saying there HAS to be Khan. Just saying, not opposed to it and personally think it would be cool.

Plus, thanks to Spock Prime, Starfleet Command knows where Khan is right now.

You just made their whole campaign.

"This is Khan before WoK. He is more driven and focused. We wanted a villian that could match wits with James T Kirk and not blinded by vengence. It's gonna be cool. Cuz I'm JJ. I'm cool."

Yeah. It's gonna happen.

I don't ask much. I'm pleading here, anything else. Space hippies. Spock's Brain. Vaal. Anything. Just leave Khan alone.

Why, 'talos? Why are you being like this?

Because it's been done. It's one of the most popular things about Star Trek. And IMO, it's lazy. I want JJ and crew to succeed. I do. I love Star Trek. I want them to amaze us. I want them to take us on an adventure. I want to boldly go where no one has gone before. I want to explore and break down cultural barriers. Expand the already incredible Star Trek universe.

Khan is an easy sell to the suits. Take the challenge, JJ. Take a risk.

Yeah. He's not reading this. I know.

Here's the latest -

Addressing the rumors that the next film will be a remake of The Wrath of Khan, Orci nipped the idea in the butt:

"We would never do a remake… it will be some time in the five-year mission. But that is a question. Should we pick them up immediately the next day or should it be later? We are still discussing that."

Kurtzman adds that the villain will be the most important part of the sequel:

I think our idea on this is that the first of any series is about them coming together or the formation. I couldn't really tell you what Jeff Bridges was doing in Iron Man, but it doesn't matter at all because it is all about Iron Man becoming Iron Man. Whereas I think sequels are very much about the villain. Because while [in the first film] the villain serves to bring the crew together, the second one I think has to be a true challenging of what that family is about. That is why Wrath of Khan was so amazing. Khan tested each one of them and ultimately asked for the [ultimate] sacrifice, and that is why that movie held up so well.



..so we'll see...
