Commissar SFLUFAN Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Chris Pine and Chris Hemsworth are no longer boldly going where no person has gone before. The two actors were in negotiations to star in Star Trek 4, but sources say that talks between the two actors and the companies making the new installment, Paramount Pictures and Skydance Media, have fallen apart, with both sides walking away from the table.

Remarkableriots Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Time for another reboot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number305 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 How about tell new stories. They don't need another reboot. There are a million science fiction stories that aren't star wars or star trek. Lets put some of those on the big screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trek has a built in audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 The problem that Star Trek is having is that it's not growing it's foreign box office. Look at the recent Mission Impossible entries: domestic openings in 50s and 60s, with totals ~200M. Overseas grosses though are approaching ~$500M. (Fallout is currently running behind, but a strong opening in China is likely to change that). Compare those to the Star Trek reboots. Openings between $60-70M, domestic totals ~$200M, but the overseas grosses are only ~$200M. It doesn't help that Beyond underperformed (largely thanks to Into Darkness being poor). It also probably doesn't help that Trek is so much of an ensemble, and the least profitable series that some of it's stars are involved in. I liked Beyond quite a bit, but I wouldn't be sad to see Trek to go back to just being on TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spawn_of_Apathy Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Then I am ok with him being out. Sucks about Pine though. I liked this cast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatoneshere Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Please - they are just pushing for higher pay - and they'll get it. Pine and Hemsworth were nothing (particularly Hemsworth) when Star Trek '09 came out. Paramount probably approached them both recently for this father/son storyline with Star Trek '09 salaries offered to them and they were like: "guys, 9 years have passed, we're big shit now, pay us more". This isn't news . . . yet. We'll see if they really stand their ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
