4815162342 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Speaking of Lost what are you guys theory of that ending for the show?We don't need theories, the writers have said more than once what the ending was. This was not a Sopranos scenario. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Orci? Seriously? There's so many great director options who haven't done a franchise like Star Trek and would be open to it; I don't see the point of going with an average writer at best (and that's at BEST) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfirebird2008 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Well I guess we can get ready for another trilogy to go down the tubes. The gap between Abrams and Orci is similar to the gap between Singer and Ratner or Burton and Schumacher. Dammit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfirebird2008 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 You could be right but we haven't seen what he can do as a director. Isn't that kind of scary to have a writer who has never directed anything suddenly direct a big budget, big scale action movie? Last time this happened we got David Goyer's Blade 3, which was a disaster. Goyer and Orci are similar writers. They have some good ideas but they kind of suck with the details. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plain Old Tele Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Talent (or lack of talent) as a writer doesn't translate to skills as a director. That being said, this seems like a terrible idea to me. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilmac Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) Isn't that kind of scary to have a writer who has never directed anything suddenly direct a big budget, big scale action movie? Last time this happened we got David Goyer's Blade 3, which was a disaster. Goyer and Orci are similar writers. They have some good ideas but they kind of suck with the details. I see your point. If it was Disney Marvel movie and we heard about a first time director getting hired then I wouldn't worry too much. They have a track record of making unconventional decisions pay off. With Orci, I have no idea what to expect. However, I don't think the issues we saw with Pfister's debut apply here because the reported mistakes with Transcendence are things I think a writer will be on top of (pacing, etc).

Plain Old Tele Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 This is interesting: But numerous insiders have told me the same story, time and again: Orci and Kurtzman are stenographers, taking down every bad idea that the director and producers give them and somehow fitting them all into the scripts. This is why they keep getting high profile work - they make the executives feel listened to, and this is the single most important skill a Hollywood screenwriter can have. One example is that Orci and Kurtzman didn't want to have Khan in Star Trek Into Darkness. They were going to do Gary Mitchell, but JJ Abrams demanded Khan. Another is that in the original script for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 the Richard Parker stuff actually paid off because he shows up at the end and gives Peter the 'With great power" speech that's been missing from the series. Maybe - just maybe - these guys have good ideas... http://badassdigest.com/2014/05/09/can-roberto-orci-make-the-best-star-trek-reboot-film/ 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Craig Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 You don't let a guy crack his directorial teeth on your most prestigious franchise as it's marking 50yrs. YOU JUST DON'T. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 This is interesting: Very. Gary Mitchell was the big suspicion lots (including me) had, especially after they cast pasty-white Cumberbatch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulder Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 You mean Abrams didn't go with Gary Mitchell? That would've been a far better idea because it actually fit the actor and story far better. That Richard Parker stuff is awful though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
