Jonwo Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 (edited) I doubt Paramount would let someone who has never directed before direct a tentpole like Star Trek 3 since the film will likely be the centrepiece of the franchise's 50th Anniversary.

4815162342 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Orci possibly directing? Devin Faraci melts down (in a hipstery sort of way): Please Jesus, Don't Let Roberto Orci Direct Star Trek 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kvikk Lunsj Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Orci/Kurtzman split up. One's directing Venom, the other's directing Star Trek 3. We all winHopefully Venom comes out in 2016. Then they can fight each other for box office crown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Yea but that other guy was a DP on his first directing gig, Orci is a writer which can become a more successful director than a DP IMO. How's that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Orci may very well have good directorial instincts, but I sure wouldn't want him to direct a film he wrote the script for 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainJackSparrow Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Orci may very well have good directorial instincts, but I sure wouldn't want him to direct a film he wrote the script forSo hopefully he will just direct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkelf Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 What are the odds of that? The same as the odds for Wally Pfister getting another $100M sci-fi flick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 Its really odd that they're thinking about letting someone with no experience direct one of these major movies. Did they not just see what happened with some other guy's directorial debut? Guess you don't about may directors first movies or first tentpoles.

DMan7 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 How's that? Aren't the writers closer to the directorial process than the DP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 the fact that there is still not official release date yet shows that STID definitely underperformed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichWS Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Aren't the writers closer to the directorial process than the DP? DP's are working on set with the director every day in pre-production and during shooting. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Craig Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 the fact that there is still not official release date yet shows that STID definitely underperformed Not hardly. The film did fine. It's performance can't be blamed on those who took crazy leaps of logic while flying over the canyon of the franchises history(including the studio). It's the franchises 50th year, bank on a film. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Wang Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I would rather a great writer direct than a DP personally. A great writer will still pay attention to things like character and plot and themes, etc. They can always become a better and stronger director.
