Has it occurred to anyone that the proposed release date for the as yet untitled ST XIII (June 8th 2016) is only two months short of being FIFTY YEARS since the pilot 'The Cage' aired in the United States ! It's so strange to think Star Trek has managed to span almost half a century ..... Rumours are going around that the idea of making a new series of Star Trek following on from the original Five Year Mission of Kirk and crew, may well get the go ahead if XII manages to gross anything close to the $470 million dollars Into Darkness managed. The series could be loosely based on the second Five Year Mission that was to be called 'Phase II' and would have stared several of the original cast plus some notable additions. Both Will Decker and Ilia were to be regular cast members, alas, some of the original cast, notably Leonard Nimoy, had point blank refused to appear again, thankfully he changed his mind on that one. Personally I think they need to concentrate on getting ST-XIII done and dusted first, but it's great that the possibility of an actual 'New' series could be hitting our screens on day. Rumour has it that ST-XIII is to be released only a week after the premiers of Spielberg's BFG, and the new Tarzan movies. Hardly competition in my humble opinion, but we'll have to wait and see. Although the movie outline has yet to be released, I have a feeling it's not going to disappoint anyone, and who knows, we could be looking forward to the premier of ST-XIV in the not too distant future ......Don't forget ... If anyone has any news or just chit-chat about the new movie, please post it up here. I'm sure everyone will read with interest.

Oh yeah, I was meant to post this earlier but forget.....Roberto Orci didn't 'pull out'. He was fired.

Ahhh ! I did have a sneaky suspicion that it was more a 'push' than 'fall' kinda thing with his departure .... He'd disagreed with a large part of the original script, and even though minor changes were made, as they normally are. He'd apparently been overheard saying that it wasn't in the 'spirit' of Star Trek (whatever that's supposed to mean). Well, we'll just have to wait & see how Justin Lee fares ... I think with his pedigree on the Fast & Furious franchise, he'll not do too bad, and let's face it, if he can work with Vin Diesel then he's not going to crumble under any peer pressure. Just a wait n see thing I suppose.

Personally the Fast & Furious connection has me worried, but I'll be keeping an open mind. Would be great news if a new tv series gets the go ahead! My ideal situation would be a post-Voyager series; seeing as that's incredibly unlikely I'm all for a 2nd 5 year mission series, ideally more in line with the original universe which might be a possibility with Abrams leaving.

I'd like to see USS Titan or Captain Worf. I'm just now starting to watch TOS series, after being a fan of TNG, VOY and ENT. I can see how TOS is such a classic now; all the breakthroughs and firsts they had on their show, really set the bar for everything else. I had no idea.

Also, Orci will not be writing the film either....he is only remaining to produce, and nothing else.
