Movie about Eugenic Wars (Star Trek)

Post Reply New Topic

I wonder why any Hollywood doesn't make movie about Eugenic Wars, it would be great movie script for post appo Film, like Terminator etc.

It would be Star Trek without Star Trek

I could honestly see them do that. Kind of like what Prometheus did for the Alien franchise. You'd have to cast a pretty strong actor for Khan though.

I think it would work as a TV series as there was so much that went on in the Eugenics Wars it also last a few years according to Trek canon

Exactly, i have the same thought it would be kinda like Prometheus, prequel to series, in mean time we would have new star trek in June, and remake of "Wrath of Khan" I wonder does we would have Kirk yelling KHAN KHAN KHAN, again

While Abrams is allergic to talking about his movies before release date, Benedict Cumberbatch, who plays John Harrison, the movie's bad guy, has denied that this film is in any way related to "Wrath of Khan". For one thing, it wouldn't even make any sense - nobody's found the Botany Bay and likely never will (since it's one tiny ship somewhere in a sphere about 200 lightyears across, centered on Earth - makes a needle in a haystack seem like something really obvious). For another, for this to be a remake of TWoK, there would have to have been a "Space Seed" to lay the groundwork, and there wasn't.

I'm wagering that this is an exploration of what would have happened if another ship than Kirk's Enterprise had hit the galactic barrier - the one that gave Gary Mitchell godlike psychic powers in "Where No Man". Only this time, the ship's captain didn't have a Spock there to tell him to kill Harrison before it was too late...

There the problem.

Yeah, there'd be no room for any of Star Trek's characteristic exploration, futurism, or speculation of social potential, it'd just be an action film with Star Trek characters and ships slapped on (like Abrams' 2009 movie was).

It would be post apo like "Terminator Salvation", and i liked terminator
