From another forum I post on:
Looks like Gary Mitchell and Doctor Dehner are the big characters in the Star Trek sequel!
In a press junket for Judge Dredd, Karl Urban was asked how it was working with Benedict Cumberbatch.
His response: He?s awesome, he?s a great addition, and I think his Gary Mitchell is going to be exemplary.

either Dehner was not mentioned so we cant be sure on her.
Alice Eve is playing an unnamed female lead. I'd be shocked if it's not her.
well she looks like her anyway.
Also: I suspect it's a coyly planned leak, sure.
But it's probably pretty smart to drop a bomb between Spider-man and Dark Knight Rises to remind the geeks about next year's Star Trek movie.
Plus, if I were in marketing, I'd recognize that a formal announcement about Gary Mitchell carries no clout OUTSIDE the geek community so it would make sense to leak this (geeks like leaks) and then try to snag the general audience with the awesome trailer of the angry guy with god powers swearing revenge on Kirk.
sequels of remakes usually do
Sequels of remakes usually bomb? Like an example would be....?
Remakes seem to be doing just fine in the geek market. The new version of Spiderman, just five years after the last version, made $140 million bucks in six days.
Lost in space (gods what a turkey)
Psycho
those are good examples
actually the best way to make this film a success would be to KILL the whole cast and have a REAL enterprise crew from the 25th century turn up and Revert the reboot
I don't much like JJ Trek, but I think you are underestimating the Trek-nerd propensity to spend money on bad movies just because its Trek. As bad as TOS movie #5 was, it still made enough to justify TOS movie #6.
it was rubbish
in defiance of normal physical laws it both sucked and blew at the same time
It made me want to SHOOT scotty as a kindness
It made me hate Sulu
It made me think Spock had turned Human AND effeminate
further it was racist (against orions) Sexist (against women) and offensive to EVERYONE who respected canon
If I met JJ in person I would very likely swear at him (I NEVER swear normally)

Yeah, ok. All of that seems like the reaction a really normal and well-adjusted person would have over not liking a movie.
Oh, wait.....
Was that before or after it made 385million worldwide?
Yeah, was about to ask him that, too.
"Star Trek ended its United States theatrical run on October 1, 2009, with a box office total of $257,730,019, which currently places it as the seventh highest-grossing film for 2009 behind The Hangover. The film grossed $127,764,536 in international markets, for a total worldwide gross of $385,494,555"
From Wikipedia, but the numbers look right compared to other sites.
and a new REAL trek film could make 20 times that and you know it
oh and as for "well rounded humans" many of them want to feed him his own clip board for making kirk TRIBBLE
(and no I did not see him in that context but a LOT of people claim he came out that way)
The 2009 Star Trek movie didn't "BOMB". It was actually the most financially successful of the entire Star Trek franchise. Leaps and bonds above the travesty that was 2002's "Star Trek Nemesis".
The fact that YOU think the sequel will bomb, speaks volumes about your opinion on the 2009 movie.
No, I don't know that a "REAL" trek film could make 20 times that...since that would be $7.7 billion, a sum no movie in the history of movies has ever made.
and I don't know who your LOT of people are, but I think maybe you and I don't see a LOT as the same number.
Look, you don't like JJ Trek. I don't either. Hyperbole doesn't help your argument thou.
Note the word - worldwide. what does it matter what the distribution of people who watch it is? it made 385million. that all the matters, not where and when that money was made. who cares if someone in america watched it over someone in france?
who are you to say what a real star trek film is anyway? getting a little above yourself there if you can dictate what a real trek movie is or is not.
and a real star trek film would make 20 times more? really? not only would that make it the highest grossing film ever by some considerable distance, the previous 10, even when adjusted for inflation, made less. were those not real trek films either?
The last "REAL" trek film was in 2002, with Star Trek Nemesis, and it BOMBED at the box-office. According to every list in terms of income, Nemesis ranks DEAD LAST among all 11 movies so far. Guess which one made the most?

Pretty much EVERYONE agrees that Star Trek 5's "The Final Frontier" was the worst of the 10 movies that came before JJ Abrams reboot. And YET it still made more money than Star Trek Nemesis.
Wrath of Khan I think
remember you have to make 30 times as much this year as you did in 2002 to score the same due to inflation of films
If you mean "adjusted for inflation", then check the link I provided above.
XI is still the highest even after inflation. even adjusted for inflation khan only comes in at about the 4th highest.
30 times more between 2002 and 2012!!!! how much do you think ticket prices have gone up by in 10 years?
Maybe you didn't see my post where I mention that hyperbole doesn't help your argument? Trust me....it really doesn't.
1. Star Trek (2009): $257,730,019
5. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982): $78,912,963
11. Star Trek: Nemesis (2002): $43,254,409
Adjusted for inflation:
1. Star Trek (2009): $273,620,300
4. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982): $212,581,900
11. Star Trek: Nemesis (2002): $58,293,500
Sollvax, may we have some clarification, what exactly is in your cool aid? I'd love to have some of that. None of the evidence supports your claim that a "REAL" Star Trek film could bring in 20 times more than the 2009 movie.
maybe he means 30%.
Maybe.
Or maybe he just hates JJ Trek so much that he has come slightly unhinged.
I don't like JJ Trek myself, but facts are facts.
actors wages are now HUGE
so a film Expects to make more with a global release etc etc etc
but hey you think its a great film
great for you
bad for the rest of the world
I still say the second one will BOMB
