Give the next Star Trek movie to Simon Pegg!
OMG, Simon Pegg & his group of friends & colleagues writing the next movie? We’d get Harvey Mudd for sure.
Give the franchise to Simon Pegg & Edgar Wright. Because they love and understand ST. Unlike some directors….
Oh, Bones, you have no idea.
This time they should go back and get Mozart or ivory-billed woodpeckers or something like that. Not that whales aren’t important, but Scotty would absolutely lose his shit if Jim filled his ship with salt water.
Also, can we talk about how many costume changes Bones had? It’s like every other hour he went to his quarters and thought to himself, “WHAT FABULOUS DAMN FROCK AM I GONNA WEAR NOW? JIM SAYS THIS ONE BRINGS OUT MY EYES, BUT JIM’S A MORON.”
I counted 4 different costumes.
Also, first time Bones has worn the medical badge (with the red cross)? y/n? I’ve only ever seen the science badge on his uniform, TOS/AOS.
Nurse Chapel is a beloved [Trek] character,” says Orci. “Even before the first movie came out, a lot of online chatter was, ‘Is Nurse Chapel gonna be there?!’”
Alas, although we hear Dr. McCoy (Karl Urban) say “Nurse Chapel” in 2009’s Star Trek, we never officially saw Christine Chapel — and she’s still MIA in Into Darkness. Instead, Carol Marcus tells Kirk that she learned of his reputation as a ladies man from her friend Christine Chapel, who has become a nurse since her romantic encounter with him — which he does not recall.
“We just figured that would be a great reference, and we loved that Kirk didn’t remember her,” says Orci. “It’s an in-joke that also speaks volumes about his character when it comes to women. That’s why we used it.”
So will Nurse Chapel ever actually make a flesh-and-blood appearance on the Enterprise? Orci just laughs. “That’s certainly possible!
“

Bob Orci talks to BuzzFeed about fan references in Star Trek Into Darkness. [x] All I have to say about this is:
(via numbtongue)
I’m going to punch you in the face, Bob Orci (via steamedporkbun) ** I am so DONE with Bob Orci. And he claims to be the Trek lover of the writers. Go watch the series again, Bob. This time, pay attention. JFC… |
