Why dont they just remake the orginal 10 movies while they are at it. Ben Kingsley for Captian Picard!

First of all I like the concept of Bardem as Khan.

But I think the new strength of the JJ Trekverse is the freshness and the ability to come up with new stories. I also think this appeal will show in the box office results.

The tweens will now have their own Kirk, Spock and Bones.

I still remember the podcast where John talked about wanting to suck Bardem’s cock.

Anyway, being a non-fan of Star Trek, I don’t know anything about that character. But Bardem is a great actor. He was fantastic in the completely overrated No Country

I saw an awesome fan-made poster for that on a Star Trek forum. I have to agree with John here. A Space Seed movie would rock!

In reply to Rodney. I happen to side with Rodney here; I would also like to see a new adventure and without Khan (or even Mudd and his harem!) - although.... Let's say it is so. This would then: 1) Tie in to Star Trek Enterprise and the Eugenics/Doctor Soong arc story line; 2) Help with the retcon suggested in Deep Space Nine as they said Khan was from the 21st century, not the 20th. *****

Oh, please. Give us something original. My biggest grip with Hollywood is that they keep redoing old stuff. Space Seed was a great Star Trek episode. The Wrath of Khan was a great movie. So give us something original. Leave Khan alone.

In reply to Jmarps. And he has to ask the Enterprise what time do they close.

In reply to Rodney.

John,

The past is being changed, but it seems only the 23rd century forward, not Khan’s origin in the Eugenics war ten years ago.

Rodney,

Since this timeline’s crew hasn’t found Khan yet, it would be more a remake of the original episode from the old series than the movie of his revenge for the events in that episode.

In reply to Rodney.

It wouldn’t be a remake of ‘Wrath of Khan’ don’t forget Rodney. If anything, it would be a big screen remake of the episode ‘Space Seed’ but on a much larger scale.

Imagine Khan and his army of super beings being awoken from cryo-sleep and let loose on Earth to start the Eugenics Wars all over again with Javeri fuckin’ Bardem as Khan.

I’m booking my ticket right now.

So basically, it would be a film re-do version of the classic episode where they find Khan floating on the Botany Bay? Coolness. I can dig it.
