Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman are back to write Star Trek 2 with Damon Lindeloff. J.J. Abrams says;
"We know the direction, but it's very early. We're working on a script right now still. I can tell you it's cool. We have some really cool ideas, but it's too early."
LA Times spoke to J.J. Abrams and Roberto Orci about the sequel;
'Star Trek' team hints that the next film will reflect contemporary war issues
So we might see Starfleet grappling with the ethics of torture or dealing with a rising terrorist threat or perhaps a painful, politicized war with the Klingons.
"The ambition for a sequel to 'Star Trek' is to make a movie that's worthy of the audience and not just another movie, you know, just a second movie that feels tacked on. The first movie was so concerned with just setting up the characters -- their meeting each and galvanizing that family -- that in many ways a sequel will have a very different mission. it needs to do what [the late 'Trek' creator Gene] Roddenberry did so well, which is allegory. It needs to tell a story that has connection to what is familiar and what is relevant. It also needs to tell it in a spectacular way that hides the machinery and in a primarily entertaining and hopefully moving story. There needs to be relevance, yes, and that doesn't mean it should be pretentious. If there are simple truths -- truths connected to what we live -- that elevates any story -- that's true with any story."
Roberto Orci says:
"Weve literally had two meetings now. We havent decided anything but were starting to circle around some ideas. We got a lot of fan response from the first one and a considerable amount of critical response and one of the things we heard was, Make sure the next one deals with modern-day issues. Were trying to keep it as up-to-date and as reflective of whats going on today as possible. So thats one thing, to make it reflect the things that we are all dealing with today.
