Calling it.
Sunday, October 19, 2008
Just in case you're not a nerd - there's a new Trek film coming out. Paramount are trying to re-invigorate the franchise that has rather lost its way in recent years with a whole new 're-imagining' (stupid, stupid Hollywood term) packaged up as a sort of prequel/how-it-all-began story (this is apparently still fashionable - damn you Lucas).
Anyway they have J.J.Abrams on board, who apart from sharing a name with a main battle tank and the progenitor of the Israelites, is hot stuff in the movie biz these days. The point is, I think we can expect a fairly large facelift as evinced by this picture:
Why is Joey on the Enterprise?
and this quote from the linked article:
OK, that's fine. As long as he realises that people who liked Transformers are not fans of movies.
So this is what I'm calling. It's very mundane but I'm so certain of it I'm going to put it out there. When the new film comes out there will be at least one review with the following headline:
guaranteed. Or your money back.

It's Star Trek (Jim), but not as we know it
guaranteed. Or your money back.
