Lindelof Talks Trek Sequel

Damon Lindelof recently spoke with E Online about Star Trek sequel. He is one of the writers on the sequel along with Alex Kurtzman and Bob Orci. Nothing concrete was said other than The Dark Knight is a source of inspiration on what they hope to achieve with the next movie. Link via TrekMovie.
The bar is very very high for the sequel. We are looking at a movie like The Dark Knight which actually went one step beyond Batman Begins. It was really about something and at the same time was a superhero movie. We don’t want to abandon all the things that made the first movie work — have it be fun and emotional, but we also want the movie to thematically resonate, so we are putting on our highfalutin hats.

  1. I JUST HOPE IT'S GREAT FUN LIKE THE ORIGINAL. I CAN SEE IT GOING DARKER, AND WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE KLINGONS IN IT...BUT IF I WAS GOING TO REBOOT THE KLINGONS, I WOULD MAKE THEM LARGER, TALLER THAN HUMANS...ABOUT 9 FEET TALL...BRAWNY...MORE PIT-BULL LIKE. THEY WOULD BE MORE SAVAGE THAN THE KLINGONS WE ARE USED TO SEEING. I WOULD USE THE WHOLE AVATAR APPROACH TO BRING THE KLINGONS TO LIFE.
