Star Trek: The Wrath Of Khan Director Shares His Feelings On Into Darkness
x 2013’s Star Trek Into Darkness was received very positively by critics, but substantially less well by committed Star Trek fans. Much of this criticism was rooted in the way the film turned out to be a stealth reworking of 1982’s The Wrath of Khan, which annoyed those who considered that J.J. Abrams’ remixing of the story didn’t make a great deal of sense. Not to mention that in the run up to the film’s release, he outright lied about Benedict Cumberbatch’s John Harrison being Khan Noonien Singh. While the film doesn’t exactly remake The Wrath of Khan, it certainly references it pretty heavily, albeit with Spock and Kirk’s roles reversed. If you’ll recall, in the original, Spock sacrificed himself to save the Enterprise while Kirk watched on. In the 2013 effort, however, it was the other way around, leading to Spock recreating that famous moment where Kirk yells “KHAAAAAAAAAAN!!!” Now, in an … [Read more...] about Star Trek: The Wrath Of Khan Director Shares His Feelings On Into Darkness

William Shatner Says Directing Star Trek V Was A Big Mistake
x They say hindsight is 20/20, and for William Shatner, there’s only one feeling he experiences while looking back on Star Trek V: The Final Frontier – regret. The Star Trek mainstay and all-around industry legend has been opening up about his time as Captain James T. Kirk, not to mention that ill-fated voyage behind the lens, as part of his newly-released book, Live Long and… What I Might Have Learned Along The Way. And the good folk at TrekMovie have relayed one or two fascinating tidbits for us to peruse, including the fact that Shatner actually felt unwelcome at Leonard Nimoy’s funeral. When it comes to the Final Frontier, though, William Shatner is the first to admit that he made a mistake in choosing to direct a film that was so deeply embedded in the Star Trek franchise. I had a choice. I could accept the compromise or refuse to direct the movie. I made a mistake; I accepted the compromise, which doomed the picture from the beginning. New Star … [Read more...] about William Shatner Says Directing Star Trek V Was A Big Mistake
