Thought: The new “Star Trek” movie, how will it do in box office? Will it be the most successful Star Trek film ever?

Leave a comment

The most successful Star Trek movie out of them all, the one that made the most was “Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home”, the Star Trek movie that bombed was “Star Trek – Nemesis”. I’m reffering to the overall amount of money the films grossed, not talking about the opening weekends.

As you can see…

Most of the Star Trek movies are pretty successful.

What do you think? Do you think the new “Star Trek” movie with JJ Abrams will top “Star Trek IV”?

I predict yes, definitely. As you see in the link all the Star Trek movies didn’t do well in it’s first opening weekend, but I am predicting the new Star Trek movie will be a huge money maker in it’s opening weekend. We all know that JJ Abrams “Star Trek” will make more than 70 million in it’s opening weekend or way more. That’s exactly how it’s going to top “Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home” gross wise.

JJ Abrams just saved Star Trek. He’s going to revive the series totally. Bring the series to a positive note. JJ Abrams is attracting a lot of people who aren’t even Star Trek fans at all to see the film anyways. So this new film is obviously going to be HUGE!!!!

The new film will do fine without William Shatner in it. It won’t bomb without Shatner, trust me on this. This movie help made Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and Zoe Saldana huge stars, these young actors weren’t too well known before and they are getting well known quick!!!

While I do love most Star Trek films, there is one out of the 10 that I don’t like. The only one I thought that sucked was “Star Trek: Insurrection” but the rest of ’em are great in my opinion. Yes, I even liked “Star Trek V: The Final Frontier” although many people said that was the worst Trek film.

The Star Trek franchise is great. I’ve always loved it! The series deserve to get successful and huge for once and JJ Abrams will make that happen. Watch out George Lucas!!!

Another alien invasion movie, oh yay. Glad Eckhart has finally got a leading role though, this man is a talented actor.

Report: First look at “Prince of Persia” live action film starring Jake Gyllenhaal…

Leave a comment

So you’ve seen photos online of Jake Gyllenhaal, shirtless, long haired, not so clean shaven, also looking bulked up, fit and muscular. Gyllenhaal himself speaks on his new look for the film, like the film makers want Gyllenhaal to look exactly like the character from the video game. He says he had to do a lot of acrobatics, working out and training because the character he plays requires a lot of that.

Click here for a Behind the Scenes video of “Prince of Persia” live action movie, and interview with Gyllenhaal himself, taken from Entertainment Tonight:

Film is looking real good so far. Jake is looking good too since this is the first time we’ve seen him publicily since Heath Ledger’s death. Looking forward to this new film!

Thought: WTF??? Was Captain Kirk and Uhura ever in love?

Leave a comment

So you’ve seen the “Star Trek” trailer I posted here in the blog. And you see a young Captain Kirk getting it on with a young Uhura. I’m sure those of you who are not much of a Star Trek fan and you’re thinking to yourselves, “WTF? Was Captain Kirk and Uhura ever in love?”

In answer to your question…yes, they were at one point…since JJ Abrams goal with the new “Star Trek” movie to be a complete homage to the original series…that is why he had to throw the Kirk and Uhura relationship in there.

Captain James T. Kirk had always been known to be a womanizer in the series and the films. In the earlier episodes of the original Star Trek series, there is one episode where Kirk and Uhura were intimate.

Don’t worry folks. “Twilight” will make a lot more than James Bond.

With “Twilight” coming out next weekend on Nov. 21st, mark my words, it’ll make at least $80-$100 million or even more.

Report: The rest of the “Twilight” novels to be made into films as well…

Leave a comment

With “Twilight” hitting theaters next Friday, the film makers are already moving forward to the rest of the sequels that will be adapted from the novels as well. The novels written by Stephenie Meyer, Summit Entertainment has acquired the rights to adapt “New Moon”, “Eclipse” and “Breaking Dawn” into major motion pictures. Screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg who wrote the first “Twilight” movie has been signed to write “New Moon” and “Eclipse”. A writer for “Breaking Dawn” has not been found yet.

While Summit Entertainment knows that the first “Twilight” movie will be an audience full of pre-teens and twenty somethings, the film company hopes to attract the series to older audiences too from 30’s – 50’s and up. Basically, their goal is they want these films to be for people of all ages, not just for teens.

I’m glad the sequels to the books are being made into films too. Good to hear. Although, I’m still in the middle reading “Eclipse”, I haven’t gotten around to get back into reading it, I’ve been busy. I’m glad I’m reading the books before the sequels of the films come out though.

I really am looking forward to seeing “Twilight” in theater next weekend and I probably will end up liking it a lot. We get too many fantasy and children stuff for all ages like “Chronicles of Narnia”, “Lord of the Rings”, “Star Wars”, “Harry Potter”, etc. But there’s never anything dark and never has anything to do with the horror genre, Stephenie Meyer finally brought that to us, a horror genre for people of all ages!!! Thank you Stephenie! That is why I love her for this!
