Jokergrin · (09-14-2011, 01:03 AM)

I always assumed he was.

Ketchup Boy · (09-14-2011, 01:04 AM)

Yes! And why wouldn't he?!?! Loved the first.

I think most people did, but he teased a lot and for a long time about maybe or maybe not doing it.

Salvor.Hardin · (09-14-2011, 01:05 AM)

My body is ready. Here's hoping he can match the opening scene of Star Trek 2009.

IIRC, last time he was on The Howard Stern Show (week of Super 8) he talked about how Super 8 pushed back him directing ST2 by 6 months ish.

PSFan · (09-14-2011, 01:11 AM)

Only ~6 months of shooting? Will that be enough time?

genericsuperhero · (09-14-2011, 01:11 AM)

Punch it.

Trojita · (09-14-2011, 01:12 AM)

Lens Flare EVERYWHERE

EVERYWHERE

EVERYWHERE

EVERYWHERE

IamMattFox · (09-14-2011, 01:12 AM)

Four years between the films. Crazy.

He failed to do that last time, but here's hoping.

WillyFive · (09-14-2011, 01:16 AM)

Great news.

cory. · (09-14-2011, 01:17 AM)

Awesome

FairyD · (09-14-2011, 01:17 AM)

Do we know anything about the story?

Super 8 was a mistake. He has the potential to move above the summer blockbuster material that he seems to have sworn himself to.

Donthizz# · (09-14-2011, 01:28 AM)

im ready!

Dax01 · (09-14-2011, 01:29 AM)

Captain, I am detecting massive amounts of lens flare in this sector.

ruuk · (09-14-2011, 01:29 AM)

Looking forward to seeing some Klingon warriors ripping the ship apart with their teeth.

smokeymicpot · (09-14-2011, 01:31 AM)

I was already hyped and was sure he was directing.

GavinGT · (09-14-2011, 01:32 AM)

And the even-numbered Star Trek movies are always the best, everyone knows that.

I hope you're joking.

Anyway, HYPE!

kittens · (09-14-2011, 01:36 AM)

This can't come out soon enough. Love the first film.

Beowulf28 · (09-14-2011, 01:36 AM)

If they have Klingons I wonder if they'll have head ridges.

OneEightZero · (09-14-2011, 01:36 AM)

Bring it, JJ. Sooner the better. ^_^

Shepard · (09-14-2011, 01:38 AM)

Wouldn't change a thing in the first one, so this is good news to me =]

Medalion · (09-14-2011, 01:44 AM)

The plot of the new movie is that a rogue lense flare is not shining bright enough because incidentally there are some people standing in its way

Veidt · (09-14-2011, 01:45 AM)

the more lens flare, the brighter the future, motherfuckers!

Big Baybee · (09-14-2011, 01:47 AM)

Praise Jesus!

Insane Metal · (09-14-2011, 01:47 AM)

Awesome, I really loved the first one!

Oh, I wasn't talking about that gilded turd. I was talking about the his first Trek flick.

Snaku · (09-14-2011, 01:48 AM)

I'm the captain!

Now you're the captain!

You're not the captain anymore! NOW I'M THE CAPTAIN!

I hope Chekov gets command in Trek 2.

Not even the woeful villain? If there's one thing I hope the sequel has is a memorable rogue. And if we're lucky, one with coherent motives as well.

You know, I love JJ, but I'm not convinced yet that he does have the chops to move beyond summer blockbusters. Make no mistake, as much as people over the past year have tried to liken him to Spielberg, he is no Spielberg.

Vandiger · (09-14-2011, 01:50 AM)

More dumbed down trek for the masses, eh. Pass.

Measley · (09-14-2011, 01:53 AM)

Lens flare or not, Star Trek 2009 it was better than 90% of the OST and all of the TNG movies.

Can't wait for the sequel.

Atramental · (09-14-2011, 01:54 AM)

This time tone down the lens flare, JJ.

I loved 2009 Trek but First Contact is still my favorite Trek Movie.

Replicant · (09-14-2011, 01:57 AM)

The only film where lens flare is actually appropriate.

He's nothing like Spielberg and if not for Super 8, it would be a pointless comparison to draw, not only on the basis of quality as I assume you're arguing, but also on the basis of their respective work thusfar.

I think he's a good director and needs to work with better editors. But more importantly, he needs to try new and less frantic material. He's unique in today's world of summer directors because he composes spaces in his shots that breathe. Not to say that he clutters the frame, which he really doesn't, but the worlds his movies take place in seem lived-in. They seem believable. And I think he needs to take such directorial strengths and apply them to better scripts.

Yes, only if we could go back to the intelligent and thought provoking writing of Voyager, Enterprise, Nemesis, and Insurrection.

Meh. Can't get past the sheer destruction of Picard's character to enjoy that movie.

salva · (09-14-2011, 02:06 AM)

Awesome to hear. I absolutely loved the first one.

Mr. Serious Business · (09-14-2011, 02:08 AM)

The last film was fantastic, and the lens flare is pretty much the most minor complaint you could make about it. Hopefully Bones takes a more prominent role in the sequel.
