New Writers Set to Save/Fuck Up Star Trek 3

J.J. Abrams quit for another galaxy (reportedly far, far away...) and Star Trek Into Darkness underperformed. Those facts suggested whatever happened on Star Trek 3, it would not bare the imprints of writers Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Damon Lindelof let alone anyone else associated with Bad Robot. Someone had to be sacrificed to "pay" for the insubordination of J.J.

That's half right, according to Badass Digest. Yes, new writers are boldly going to pen the next Kirk/Spock bromance. But they have links to Abrams and were handpicked by K&O; Ashley Edward Miller and Zack Stentz who wrote for Fringe and authored Thor and X-Men: First Class.

I buy new writers. I don't buy Bad Robot having a say. That would be like Fox letting Bad Hat Harry hire one of Bryan Singer's go-to writers after he quit X-Men 3. That does not compute, unless it is part of their overall deal.

Paramount wants the third installment for 2016 to commemorate the 50^th anniversary. Again, that makes sense. They did the same thing to honor the 25^th and 30^th anniversaries too; following a pattern. That and utilize the Abramsverse cast before their contracts expire.
