The New Trek Movie

It had been announced that some bigwig director has been given the go ahead to make another Star Trek movie. While this is definitely a good thing, I have my reservations. The last time they hired a director who was not steeped in the lore of Star Trek and had no respect for it, he changed so many things that the movie tanked. While this director seems to have more respect for the franchise, I still worry that without the former cast of people working behind the scenes, the result will be something so different from what we have come to know as Star Trek that it will be hardly recognizable. So while I do hope that this movie does indeed get made, I also hope that the result is something that is recognizably ‘Trek.’
