Here’s extra proof that Hollywood continues to be run by loads of silly Hollywood executives. Fargo and Legion creator Noah Hawley was growing a Star Trek film for Paramount Pictures at one level and it ended up being scrapped. Just wait till you hear how the undertaking fell aside. It’s so disappointing that Hollywood continues to be on this insane mindset. He shared the next particulars throughout an interview with THR:
“What I found with Star Trek was I got onto the runway and then there was a managerial changeover. In retrospect, it’s not that they killed the movie. It’s that I got as far as I did with a wholly original idea, until someone said, ‘Well, wait a minute, what are we even doing with this valuable IP? Just giving it to him to make up a story? That’s not how corporate filmmaking works.’ So, if the call came in to do a big franchise film again, it would have to come with a sense of, ‘We want you to do your version of it.’“
No wonder Paramount Pictures can’t get a new Star Trek movie off the ground! They’ve got people like this guy running things over there. What a shame. Hawley is a proven great storyteller, and I have no doubt he would have delivered a great, original Star Trek story!
It was previously explained that the story for his film would have centered around “a virus that wipes out vast parts of the known universe.” He additionally revealed that he was additionally wanting to solid Cate Blanchett within the film.
Hawley beforehand opened up in regards to the undertaking and shared some particulars on what his imaginative and prescient for Star Trek was, and the way he was wanting to deliver again the good facet of the franchise. He explains that his story was much less about motion and extra about exploration and inventive downside fixing:
“What I love about Star Trek is that it’s not a war story. It’s not a story in which might makes right. It’s a story about exploration. It’s a story about creative problem solving. My favorite moment in all of Star Trek is in Wrath of Khan when Kirk puts on his reading glasses to lower Khan’s shields. It’s a brief moment that is so exhilarating because he’s using the best tool he has, which is his mind. As much as I like the Chris Pine movies they were mostly about running from one end of the ship to the other to put out a fire, to stop a thing, and then before he could catch his breath he had to do something else. They’re much more action movies and what I wanted to get back to was this idea of humanity justifying existence in the universe by showing its best qualities.”
Hawley additionally mentioned that the movie would join to franchise historical past, drawing a comparability to how his Fargo collection is tied to the 1996 movie. He defined:
“We’re not doing Kirk and we’re not doing Picard. It’s a start from scratch that then allows us to do what we did with Fargo, where for the first three hours you go, ‘Oh, it really has nothing to do with the movie,’ and then you find the money. So you reward the audience with a thing that they love.”
It sucks that Paramount didn’t see that they’d an ideal idea for Star Trek in entrance of them and didn’t transfer ahead with it. I suppose the idea was too good for them, over their heads. My religion in Hollywood will proceed to dwindle as a result of, for some purpose, some individuals with no artistic imaginative and prescient are working issues.
