At Comic Con, website io9 sat down with screenwriters Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman (Star Trek, Transformers) and asked them about the future of the rejuvenated J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek film series.
Q: I know there was a meeting about Star Trek a little while a go, have there been any more additional meetings at all? Any little update you can give us about the next film?
A: Roberto Orci: “Nothing was decided [at the last meeting]. It was really about, hmmm. You know what, I’ll give you a tidbit. [They said to us] ‘We thought maybe you could do that as like 2 and 3.”
Hmm, this is interesting. Something can be taken from this rather vague answer. Will the sequel to the new Star Trek end on a major cliffhanger that will bleed into the third Trek film? If so, will the third Trek be released soon after the sequel in order to keep the plot alive and relevant? While Orci’s response raises only more questions and no concrete answers, it is more fuel being added to the fire that is the new Star Trek film series! Abrams, Orci, Kurtzman, bring it on.
