It’s really sad that Roberto Orci has dropped out of writing Star Trek 3. And by really sad I mean pretty awesome.
I really liked the Star Trek reboot but it had its problems. The sequel was a joke and I blame all on the weak writing. So to hear that Orci was walking away, I figure it can only get better. Then they announced who was hopping on board to co-write. Simon Pegg!
ComingSoon says:
Pegg has been set to co-write Star Trek 3, which will be directed by “Fast & Furious” helmer Justin Lin. Pegg is co-writing the script with Doug Jung
Simon Pegg had a hand in writing many of the films he has been involved with such as Three_Flavours_Cornetto_Trilogy, Paul, Spaced and Run Fatboy Run. Furthermore, he is a genuine sci-fi geek so I have hopes that he will keep the third Star Trek film free of gaping plot holes and leaps of logic like assigning the most disobedient and manipulative immature cadet in the academy a Captain rank because he made one good decision.
It’s looking better already!
What do you think? Will Pegg’s pen fix the trilogy or will they have to reboot this faster than a Spider-Man franchise?
