A Fourth “Star Trek” Movie Is On the Way

“I think he thinks that Sulu may be coming out of the closet and I think the implication is that he was never in the closet which I think is maybe a better revelation than what he assumes”. So I just feel like I have friends wherever I go.

“I remember there was a lot of discussion about should we do [this scene] or should we not”.

Given that, how do you interact with the deeply passionate fans? There’s a level of truth to that. “It’s kind of inside baseball, but that was important to me”.

Chronicling the adventures of Captain Kirk and his iconic crew, a danger unlike anything the Federation has faced before threatens our heroes as they explore new worlds and encounter new species. But it’s deep, it’s multi-generational.

As is often the case, the marketing department and the people who actually made the film are not seeing eye-to-eye on how to sell this movie. “Thanks to our world-class partners at Netflix, the new Star Trek will definitely be “hailing on all frequencies” throughout the planet”. The latter is what originally gave Jung pause.

Tell us, how do you think this delicate situation should be handled? That’s an irresistible message, particularly right now. “It’s been very hard to process for us all”. We don’t speak much to one another. It’s useful to be reminded of our similarities as opposed to our differences. They refuse to accept Star Trek is Star Trek and they don’t have to keep fashioning it into other things, be it Star Wars-ian action, plumped with Hollywood A-listers, or endorsed by a bloody Rihanna track draped all over the trailer! But I was actually concerned that he wouldn’t like it for a different reason.

“Ultimately, Beyond is a movie about characters – and character”. John Cho agreed with him. So, you know, proceed with caution. In the same breath that I will admit there has been progress, I’ll say it’s not almost what it’s supposed to be. If you’ve been paying Netflix in greenbacks then you might find that it’s cheaper to switch to an Australian account, from my testing your geo-dodging service should still let you into the USA library regardless of where you pay the bill (some services can still beat the Netflix blockade). There are markers of progress but also disturbing signs of recidivism.
