These have been an eventful couple of days. Star Wars:
The Force Awakens had its red carpet premiere last night, a new trailer for
Captain America: Civil War landed, as did the first trailers for Roland
Emmerich's Independence Day: Resurgence, David Yates' Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and Justin Lin's Star Trek Beyond. Busy few days.
Speaking to Collider in a group interview at the
Paramount Studios, Lin revealed that Star Trek Beyond takes place two and a
half years into the Enterprise's five-year deep space mission, and that the
crew will not spend an awful lot of time talking about the events of J.J.
Abrams' Star Trek Into Darkness, meaning we shouldn't expect to hear about
Khan, Carol Marcus, and other characters and moments.
"I wanted to hopefully create an opportunity or a
situation where we really see how they react to things and to each other. Those
are things that even in all the years of watching Trek we had hundreds of hours with
the movies of stuff with engagement, but in this timeline I wanted to hopefully
create something where we can be on the five-year mission, we can hopefully
explore and push, and introduce new species, and put them in situations where
hopefully it then mirrors back and reflects about the exploration of humanity."
As for the title, Lin revealed that it was all Simon
Pegg's idea. Pegg co-wrote Star Trek Beyond with Doug Jun.
"It came from my initial conversation with J.J.
He kinda tracked me down and we’re talking and I didn’t know what to expect. I
thought maybe he’s offering to go shoot a script that existed, and he said,
“No, it’s yours. Go and be bold, and just take it. Be bold and make it what you
think you would do to Star
Trek," and the more we talked about it the more we kept saying,
"Well, let’s keep pushing, let’s keep pushing," and that’s when Simon
kinda said, "Well, it should be Star
Trek Beyond,"
and it was his idea and it kinda came from all our conversations and then we
looked at each other and like, “Oh! That sounds like the title of this film.""
Star Trek Beyond has been scheduled to premiere on
July 22, 2016.
