Will a familiar character from two original series episodes make an appearance in Star Trek XII?<\/p>\n
As reported by Sci Fi Wire<\/a> and Comic Book Movie<\/a>, the writers are being meticulous when it comes to planning for the sequel to the successful Star Trek XI<\/i>. “We have to comb through everything and make sure that we leave no stone unturned because that was the approach that I think we were looking for on the first movie,” said Alex Kurtzman<\/b>. “We take nothing for granted at this point,” said Kurtzman. “We’re only going to do it when it’s really right.” <\/p>\n It is not guaranteed that the second and third Star Trek<\/i> reboot movies will be tied together either, as has been rumored. “”There’s been forty-three years of material, so that’s all that we meant by that,” said Orci. “It has to cross your mind. But we’re not leaning one way or the other yet.”<\/p>\n Heroes<\/i> star Greg Grunberg<\/b>, friend of J.J. Abrams<\/b>, is keen to play Harry Mudd in a Star Trek<\/i> film and has mentioned the idea to reporters. “It’s a good idea,” said Orci. Another original series character, Khan, has also been mentioned as a possibility in earlier discussions.<\/p>\n One thing that will probably make it into the next Star Trek <\/i>movie is a famous Dr. McCoy catchphrase. “I was watching cable the other night, watching Star Trek<\/i>,” said Orci. “It’s been on rotation, the original series.

There have been meetings and discussions about the movie, but the script is not as far along as Zoe Saldana<\/b> (Uhura) reported recently. “She’s so generous,” said Roberto Orci<\/b>. “She thinks so much and so highly of us. We had about a fifteen, thirty-minute discussion with the whole gang and went our separate ways. We’re still in the re-reading and taking-it-all-in phase before we actually sit down and start designing it.”<\/p>\n
