De laatste keer dat we iets hoorden over het geplande vervolg op JJ Abrams' Star Trek was het producer Bryan Burk die Christopher Nolans Batman films als voorbeeld stelde voor een toekomstige sequel.
...our aspirations are for the movie to be even bigger and better than the first one. I don't mean that just in scope, I mean content and characters and emotionally. We had a lot of conversations about Batman Begins and how that movie kind of re-invented that franchise, and we looked at what The Dark Knight did and how that really ramped it up and they went to a different place with that film, and how those two films keep re-inventing themselves and are not the same thing every time. So we have strong ideas of what we want to do and we are hoping that this one is an even bigger film than the last one.
We're looking at a movie like The Dark Knight, which went one step beyond Batman Begins. It was really about something, and at the same time it was a superhero movie. We don't want to abandon all the things that made the first movie work and have it be fun and emotional, but we also really want the movie to thematically resonate.
Hieronder is het interview met Lindelof te zien. Star Trek 2 moet ergens uitkomen in 2012.
