Paramount Reportedly Eyeing Will Smith For Big Star Trek Role
Will Smith in Trek? What the ****ing **** is Paramount thinking here?!?!?!
https://wegotthiscovered.com/movies/...tar-trek-role/ /Ok, I know that I talked shit on DC for their casting for Batman and it seems I'm gonna probably eat crow on that. So... I'm doubling down and hopefully I am equally as surprised by the trailers if it actually happens. |

Not sure why the feel they need to bring in Will Smith?
Outside of bad boys he’s not really a huge draw anymore. |

Nobody gives a shit about Star Trek. Too old. For some reason people care about Star Wars still, which Ill never understand but how about someone start a new intergalactic opera movie.
Id rather see the 5th Element 2. |

Star Trek is dead, the current crop of people in charge have no clue what the show is really about.

Meh. I'll give it a look. I'm a sucker for Trek.
I HATED the Chris Pine casting, but in the end (IMO) he played it great. Zachary Quintino to a lesser extent. I didn't figure he could hang, but dug him as Spock. I'm sure everyone hates that iteration of Trek, but it worked for me. |

While Pegg gets criticized by the fervent Trekkers for his portrayal of Scotty (his Scot accent is different, apparently). He is beloved for the screenwriting he did to turn a Kurtzman actionfest into a ponderous/introspective movie in Beyond (love the character pairings/foils in that movie).
The Khan reboot gets rightfully **** on for Into Dumbass, but it was a perfectly fine reboot otherwise with some real high moments. I vastly prefer it to the SW reboot, for instance. |

I just posted this in a Star Trek related thread but thought it fit here as well
----------- Unfortunately, there's been a lot of discussion over at Paramount about dropping Star Trek movies altogether because they don't make the studio any money, while taking up a substantial amount of their yearly budget and stage time. The TV series aren't doing well, either, and just barely enough to justify their existence. There's been an internal debate as to whether or not Star Trek should exist in any new format moving forward because it just doesn't have enough appeal (i.e., viewership) to justify the continuation of the IP. CBS is now airing the first season of Discovery on the CBS TV network, which will also help to determine its fate on the small screen and so far, it's not looking good. It had 1.7 million viewers and a .2 rating Thursday night and was beat by reruns airing on NBC and ABC. The ratings were also lower than a Bull repeat that aired two weeks prior in the same time slot. Freaking Press Your Luck had 3.5 million viewers, followed by Match Game with 2.9 million viewers, both of which easily beat Discovery. Big Brother scored 4.5 million viewers a few days later and costs a fraction to produce as Discovery or any Star Trek series. |
