RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES Director Rupert Wyatt Is The Actual STAR TREK 3 Frontrunner?

Nolan is taking over actually.

Who reported it was Chu? Oh, El Mayimbe. Yeah, well we all know how that goes...

YAY!!!!!!!! Lets get his ass on board now!!!!!!!

Jon Chu can go make G.I Joe 3 which no one will like while someone smarter and who actually can direct a good movie shall do this! Lets Do This Rupert!!!!!

I couldn't resist...

RotPotA was a good drama that built up the an action climax.


If they decide to go with the 5-year-mission, explorer-based story this time, I think this guy would be good at helping build that narrative.

I can live with this.

@Smallvillefan21 Retaliation was rad. The extended cut was even better. So, I'll definitely be seeing Joe 3. Especially with The Rock coming back.

@SuspenseSmith

You forgot Transformers: Dark of the Moon

Clearly a complete ripoff title from the Pink Floyd album "Dark Side of the Moon"

Way to go Michael Bay, your an idiot!

I don't see the problem with John Chu. He's only the director of a shitty movie, not the writer.
Some of you really need to stop being so childish.

I thought Rise of the Planet of the Apes was one of the best movies of 2011. It caught me completely by surprise at how good it was. This guy is not a bad choice for the next Star Trek movie.

If a director can get you to sympathize with a CGI ape and then wish that all the humans died at the end that director is doing something right.

If history has tod us something is that changing director at the third movie of a succesful franchise is not a great idea...

@BadJoke - I agree. Iron Man 3 and X-Men 3 are good examples of that.

lol getting M.Chu's to replac J.J.Abrams would b very stupid move from the producers. The same thing that happened to X-Men would certainly repeatwith StarTrek. First 2 movies from both series were good and directed by two good directors(Brian Singer and J.J.Abramsthen third time comes andthe directors leavebut unstead f bringing somebody good they get Brett Ratner or in this new case M.Chu.

Bt the way I heard Singer loves Star Trek and hewould like to direct a Star Trek movie someday. 2016 would probably be possible for him because he would be done by md 2014 after Days OF fFuture Past. However I thiknk Rupert Whyat seems a betterchoice for right now because he wont be as exhausted as Singr would be after directing a super big time travel movie with Xmen movie besies that Whyat did a really good job with PLanet of the Apes and I think he could nail Star Trek.
j.Chu s good for G.I.Joe because he does action with no substance and Whyat is a good fit for the usual character driven with action for Star Trek.

Wait! Did i miss something? Didn't Leonard Nimoy direct Star Trek 3?

And I must say, that i've found that the only people who found this year's Star Trek movie to be great, are people who never seen Star Trek 2, The Wrath of Khan, which is still the best Star Trek movie ever. Followed by Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Country & Star Trek 8: First Contact.

Last but not least....

Star Trek: The Wrath of Tribbles.

Abrams need to finish the trilogy.

Just finish this bullshit so you can get another team on Star Trek to get back to some good shit story telling about what it means to be human. This Star Trek is a parody, all the characters are portrayed as over-exaggerated donkeys. The original writers of Star Trek were well versed in classic and great literature and were referencing them in Trek all the time. These writers are well versed on the Saturday morning funny papers - nothing wrong with that, just not right for Star Trek.

Hopefully Rupert Wyatt can wrap this up in a nice and respectful way. Really enjoyed Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

@TheHegemon Yeah, because it's SCIENCE that there are extraterrestrial as an everyday occurence. Teleporters are SCIENCE. Instantaneous space travel is SCIENCE. Genetic superbeings are SCIENCE.
