stuff want to see in Trek 4

-set after the 5 year mission. Like the first film showed us the pre 5 years mission origin of the crew (at least the alternate universe version of it), this would show us post 5 year mission ‘Lost Years’ which is also untold onscreen and allowing it to be more a big budget updated version of the original movies (not so much the original series like ST09/STID/STB).

-open with the end of a mission like STID (maybe an TOS ep?)

-Throughout the opening credits (if they do them) or the end credits (instead of the usual CG planets and star fields) images (painted or CG photo or maybe 'Gold Key' style) or a 21 Jump Street thing of clips of the crews various TOS missions (classic scenes from classic eps redone with the new crew)....Arena, City, Doomsday, Amok, Spectre of the Gun, etc

-mushroom space dock with the massive blue lit interior housing all the ships (vaster than ever)

-TOS & movie music nods (Goldsmith & Horner rifts – not anything big – just a musical ‘cameos’ like Amok Time fight music in STID)

-lengthy phaser ‘beams’ not star wars ‘blasts’

-Enterprise A refit so more sleek like TOS movies (esp if set in the TMP era)

-getting more toward foreshadowing the TWOK style uniforms/field jackets/equipment/ship designs (again esp if set good few years later)

-more movie style to the sound FX/visual FX of the beaming/phasers etc (again if set years later)

-Pine sporting the dark curly Admiral Kirk Shatfro

-Klingons

-TMP style transporter malfunctions (with gory aftermath)

-TWOK style nebulas (hiding/battling in)

-more federation starship vs. federation starship carnage

-A Trek III style end fight between Kirk and a villain (klingon?) on an inhospitable Genesis/Avatar/Lost World jungle type planet - maybe one that's about to go boom (Ceti Alpha VI?)...like Trek III but with todays FX/tech - alien dinos, volcanoes, end of the world destruction, ripped shirts/KirkFu

-maybe change the classic ‘STAR TREK’ font to the movie font for promo stuff? (i always liked the movie font best)

-more Twilight Zone/Outer Limits/early TOS style eeriness/horror

-more references to the prime timeline/alternate future - maybe a 'Days of Futures Past/Yesterdays Ent' type story involving alternate realities, prime timeline links etc (maybe involving TNG and or Shat Kirk). (this might be happening with George Kirk)

-some BTTF2/TerminatorGenisys/Trials and Tribulations/All Good Things style revisiting familiar events somehow (this might be happening)

-the borg? (maybe something to do with them if above.)

-Nero (what happened to him and the remains of the Narada when they went through the black hole - did he end up back in the future? The past? The delta quadrant? - see borg above again. maybe Nero could be like the Ras Al Guld of the Trek movies? - haunting Kirk?)

-various Trek stuff cameoing/referenced/easter egging - e.g. Talosions, Doomsday machine, gorns, cloud killer, Guardian of Forever, corbomite, tholians, wild west, rand, No 1, Nurse Chapel (finally), Terrel, Kruge, Decker, Ilia, Savvik, Sybok, Daystrom, Admiral Archer, Botany Bay/Khan(again), Reliant/Excelsior, Patrick Stewart and the next gen, Vger (somehow linked to the borg? see points above)

-some big name supporting roles? e.g.:
Michael Fassbender as General Chang, Jason Moma as Captain Kruge, Kenneth Branagh as Chancellor Gorkon, Taylor Kitch as Joachim, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Captain Terrell, Bryan Cranston as Decker, Kate Beckinsale as No 1

-some big name cameos??
Arnold Schwarzenegger - Klingon Emperor, Harrison Ford - Head of Starfleet Admiral April, Scott Bakula – Jonathan Archer, Brent Spiner - Dr Soong, Michael Dorn – General Worf, Patrick Stewart - Picards ancestor, Leonard Nimoy – Old Spock (CG enhanced footage), Richardo Montalban - Khan (CG flashback footage)

-Shatner....id still like him there…if possible. maybe retro footage from some out-takes from previous Trek movies or little seen tv movies/TJ Hooker? or even Shatner as he is now - The lost ST09 Birthday scene? as Kirks grandpop? alternate reality future Kirk? ( fanpleasing end cameo as old Pine Kirk - not Prime Kirk - maybe with old Quinto Spock - something like Cloud Atlas end) or even aged up Pine Kirk Deadly Years style? (maybe the opening could be the end of The Deadly Years re-imagined with Shatner and CGI Nimoy opening the movie fighting off the Romulans before they get de-aged back to Pine/Quinto)

-more redshirt deaths - im talking 'Obsession' levels

There will be a transpecies character, a Vulcan who was born a human and undergoes species reassignment therapy to finally realize his dream of living life as a fabulous Vulcan. The only problem is Spock refuses to see him as a genuine Vulcan and refuses to let him use the Vulcan bathroom. Unfortunately, even in the 28th century, transpecies people are still discriminated against.

And audiences will walk away with a new found admiration and respect for those transpecies people that walk amongst us.

1. I love that it feels more like an ensemble cast now in STB with everyone having their own moments to shine in the movie, so I want more of that ensemble feel in the 4th movie, and not just mainly about Kirk & Spock.

2. Less Spock+Uhura romance and more focus on building up and fleshing out Uhura's character more on her own

3. More about exploration and adventure

4. whatever they do in the 4th movie, we can be sure that Chris Hemsworth would be back as George, so he would be involved somehow. I would love to see a lot of interaction between Kirk and his dad, that would be so interesting

these are all I can think of for now...

Some of these ideas are good, some not so much. Some i'd like to see them at least touch on and some shouldn't exist in this NEW universe.

Star Trek IV may have something to do with George Kirk, Captain Kirk's father... Helmsworth is signed for the 4th film. Probably something revolved around correcting the timeline (Nero). Probably be the last in the series. If a Star Trek V comes out i would like to see how the handle either the Doomsday Device or V'ger.

They can't correct the timeline, but the film probably will be about time travel. And there won't be any more borrowing from the original movies (Abrams learned that lesson in Star Trek: Into Darkness). Everything from Star Trek Beyond on will be original stories.

if they doing George Kirk then correcting the timeline is a possibility

since STB isn't doing the kind of box office that the other 2 did maybe they will go back to using popular stuff from the prev movies (borg?)

Please, no time travel. Bleh.

[–] randyw01 8 years ago

Fishburne as Daystrom sounds like good casting.
Arnie S as a Klingon sounds baaaad.

Guess what! I've got a fever, and the only prescription is MORE COWBELL! -Bruce Dickinson-

- Romulans be great again!!!!!! (and witty)
- the whole movie to be in space and have a grave somewhat depressing tone (like did Kirk's monologue/report in Beyond)
- the chick who played Kalara (Lydia Wilson) to play some other alien and this to be assigned to the Enterprise crew (she was better than Jaylah)
- no more romance between Spock and Uhura
- maybe some Borg too (if it isn't written by hacks), like Enterprise fights some Romulan ship and eventually they need to work together to defeat the Borg threat after the romulans realise the Borg are too much for them to manipulate or something
- never remake the engine room from 2009 and STID (it was cheap and svcked)
- don't do time travel cause time travel is stupid
- maybe some Klingons at the beginning that aren't STID defenceless pussies
