Star Trek 2009 movie Catch-All (Now on DVD/Blu-Ray and sequel rumors)

I love that the "best" of the Star Trek movies had more than twice the errors, and the fewest of all the movies.

But the Star Wars films were absolutely brutalized.

There is some justice in the world after all.

Well, the film's now out on DVD and Blu-Ray everywhere and now we get our first big rumor about the sequel: Batmanuel as Khaaaaaaaaaaan?!

I hope they don't do that. What would they do - redo the TV episode? Kirk and Khan haven't met in this new time line and Kirk hasn't marooned Khan on Seti Apha 6 so the only way to bring him into the next movie would be for Kirk to find his frozen body like the episode.

Mostly though I just shake my head and wonder why with all that material do they feel the need to redo certain villians? I know the answer - to make money. People fondly remember ST:WoK so they will go see another movie with him but couldn't they just try to be original?

Yeah, the first feeling was "oh cool!" then I thought ....what does this Kirk have to do with Khan?

On the bright side, maybe we'll finally get an explanation as to how Khan knew Chekov.

Which is exactly why they'd consider doing it.

I still can't believe they changed the timeline of all trek...

They didn't. It's an alternate universe.

Believe it.

Which is great, because the old one sucks

I've long ago given up trying to read behind the lines in their twisted little brains, but the only way I can see this working is if they do just "meet" him again and go on from there. But it doesn't have to be exactly like the episode. It can't be.

Thing is, remember Khan is from Earth a couple hundred years before the time split and the Botany Bay has basically been out in a Heisenburg Cat sort of state out in the tractless depths all this time. Nothing would have changed for them. So somehow they're going to have to take the basic history of how he got there and who he was and then only branch it from when the newEnterprise finds the sleeper ship and he meets newKirk and newWife. There is no "newKhan" because he's the same guy - no timechange or alter ego for him. If it doesn't work that way, then oldSpock doesn't either.

Question in my mind is, how will the newWife see Khan? Heck, is it even the same gal? Maybe we have a different wife. Or maybe someone else goes over the side for him for different reasons. Who knows?

I recommend just holding on to your butts and seeing what they come up with. Never underestimate the power of stupid Hollywood B.S. to come up with something that you didn't expect.

Nerd Fight!

Since I've been under the weather, I sat down and watched the stuff on disc 2 of the Blu-Ray today...all three hours of it. The most interesting one I think is the profile of Ben Burtt, sound FX designer for this film, WALL-E, and most famously for the Star Wars and Indiana Jones films. I found it fascinating to watch the guy who came up with the sound of a lightsaber turning on, Darth Vader breathing, and Chewbacca growling speak with such awe and reverence for Star Trek. That one's well worth your time.

This might give you something to do... title says it all...

Oh brilliant! I've been itching for a new rifftrax of something.

Do we have a topic for the next Trek movie anywhere? Couldn't find it, and Yahoo posted some interesting pictures today from on set.

Or is this it, since sequel rumors is in the title?

I guess I'll answer my own question, since someone started a trailer discussion thread.
