Wow , what a looker … I guess it would take a HUGE name to win over Paramount to reviveStar Trekfrom the dead . This is really out of the down in the mouth , but obviously Peter Jackson is a cupboard Trek fan and has been wanting to go in a different direction .
He ’s been working strictly in the past with the incredibleLord of the Ringstrilogy and most lately with his version ofKing Kong . Having tackled those projects and convincingly bringing the past times to life , it seems that he ’s seem for something fresh and futuristic .
You may have already heard that he ’s executive manufacturer on the approaching video - secret plan - based filmHalo . Executive Producer is really more of a gift - title than an real job on a pic . The Producer ( non - executive ) is the one that does all the heavy lifting , so to verbalize . So it stands to reason that Jackson wants more of a hands - on experience with his futuristic flip-flop .
I know someone over at Weta Workshop ( they did the special effects work for bothLord of the RingsandKing Kong , as well asThe Chronicles of Narnia : The Lion , the Witch , and the Wardrobe ) . It seems that they too are itching to tackle the time to come . I estimate they ’re tired of linking one million plastic ringing together to create chain mail for an regular army . :-)
Anyway , Neon Genesis Evangelionwas a project they were due to work on , but it seems to be on hold , freeing up a bunch of their resource . This acquaintance enjoin that they ’re start to work up a task schedule for the issue function they ’ll be doing forStar Trek 11 .
The Logos is that Jackson has a rough draught of a script and that Weta is work up some rough storyboards based on that . It ’s still very early and everything is fluid . I was severalize that they ’re depend at ship designs that are from the original series AND " Next Generation " , and that they ’re looking at someseriouslifelike CGI study for some of the fictional character .
Now I do n’t have intercourse what the heck that means … I do n’t have sex if they ’re looking at the honest-to-god Starfleet Academy musical theme of having Kirk , Spock and McCoy in their pre - Enterprise sidereal day . Does Jackson have in head some sorting of fourth dimension - travel tale between Next Generation era and the Academy ? I do n’t know , but I would hazard that it would be passably cursedly unmanageable to get the remaining original hurl members together unless this was cash in one’s chips to be something truly amazing .
They ’re looking at a possible release date of winter of 2007 , and of course as you read this it would be best to keep in mind the escort of this post .
