TrekMovie has in interesting and extended conversation with Damon Lindelof, in which PROMETHEUS is discussed at some length (HERE).
The chat naturally turned to the upcoming (and still not officially titled) J.J. Abrams directed TREK movie sequel. While Lindelof was expectedly cagy in revealing any substantive details about the picture, a few choice snippets are presented below for your consideration. The entirety of the piece, which is interesting and worth a look, can be found HERE.
We have not seen Kirk as the captain of the Enterprise yet. We will see him be the captain in this movie and that changes the dynamic.
[EDIT]
I feel that Trek is at its best when it is intimate and human and relatable. And when I say human, that can include aliens too. But all the things that we view as emotional touchstones: love, loss, and courage and all those themes that are the core of Trek.
[EDIT]
JJ’s decision to shoot a lot of the movie in IMAX, definitely makes the film seem a lot bigger and definitely the sequences he directed in IMAX I feel have tremendous scale and energy, without sacrificing any of things that I talked about on an emotional level.
[EDIT]
it does feel that three movies is the right responsibility for us to have the baton for before we then pass it off to the people who are take Trek to wherever they want to take it.
[EDIT]
we did talk a lot in the writing of this movie and during production about what the next movie might be and started getting excited about some of the ideas,we did talk a lot in the writing of this movie and during production about what the next movie might be and started getting excited about some of the ideas,
The next STAR TREK movie, whatever it may be called (at one point there were unconfirmed rumors it wouldn't even sport the STAR TREK moniker at all), is due in theaters May 2013.
