Last week , thenews brokethat Roberto Orci wo n’t be directing the next Star Trek motion-picture show after all . The question now is why he ’s being replaced , even if he is remain on as a producer . Badass Digest ’s source say that the reason may be Orci ’s ( and Patrick McKay and J.D. Payne ’s ) handwriting . The story reportedly had the Enterprise , the Vulcans , and another set of aliens run to get their hands on a time travel gadget , with the Vulcans wanting to unwrap the devastation of their planet . This time travelling plot is what would have justified Shatner ’s cameo as Future Kirk .
And Badass Digest ’s source say the script was definitely one of the job factors — and that the production was shut down last month while Paramount contend with Orci over whether to go back to time travel so soon after the 2009 film . Writer Devin Faraci also tweet that he ’s hearing this storyline is out the window , and they ’re possibly starting from scratch with a new script . [ Badass DigestviaScreenrant ]

In an audience with IGN , Oscar Isaac talked a little scrap about the prep he did before getting into an 10 - Wing :
I did a lilliputian bit on a simulator , just for a day , but ultimately it was more about my imagination . I remember some of my prep was contract a short ship and just play in my room with it and thinking about the thing I used to say when I was doing that .
… It ’s funny , because I spoke to Harrison before [ fool away ] . He was just like , ‘ Whenever you wanna go up , we ’ll wing . ’ I was like , ‘ That ’s amazing ! ’ Then , scheduling - wise , we could n’t find the fourth dimension to do that . finally , he was like , ‘ Well , you live , it ’s space . So it ’s a little dissimilar when you ’re flying in atmosphere . ’ At the time , I do n’t think he ’d done much flying , right smart back when he was first Han Solo .
He also commented on one the things that has been a major factor in throw what little we ’ve seen of the film look so ripe : the virtual core . articulate Isaac :
There was just so much love poured into it and so much aid . The thing is , when you rely on the latest technology to tell your report — and that ’s it — that go steady . It can date badly . Whereas , when you actually make the stuff , I think there ’s something about that that is a little bit more ageless .
Issac also said that , as in the original trilogy , there was a footling room for the actors to putter with the words :
If you watch over Harrison Ford in [ the master ] , he does n’t give a f * * * , you know ? [ Laughs ] He ’s just being a real soul . He ’s funny . you may even discover small ad - libs and things like that … [ It ’s similar on this film ] . There ’s less of a formality , I recollect .
I think the biggest affair , the most important part of the tale , is the emotional aspect of it . I think that ’s what most of us were key into : ‘ What is the emotion of the thing ? ’ The spectacle is lowly to that .

“ Thanos amount along because of my unspoiled acquaintance Louis D’Esposito , ” Brolin continues . “ … He and I used to coach together . We did ‘ Hollow Man ’ together . He called me up and commence spill the beans about this thing . It was dainty because I could intimately tattle to him about it . What I liked . What I did n’t like about the whole theme of it … It was really exciting because of the possibleness that it could be come . Not as an mind or as a blockbuster , but just as something dissimilar . It ’s a character learning ability . ”

In the early conversations we talked a flock about that [ Apocalypse ’s trenchant breaker point of opinion and agenda ] , ” he said . “ Of course , you register the comic book , and [ Revelation is ] not so shaded with grizzly — except his brass . [ Laughs ] That ’s the only affair grey about him .
… Just as Bryan ’s done with the other films , I think he seek to find something a little more interesting than the prototypic aspects of the fictional character , which solve really well in mark , but for a film I think you desire to see a bit more of the — for deficiency of a better countersign — humanity in [ Apocalypse ] ; because ultimately this is a history about man .
He then talked about what he ’d love to see from the Age of Apocalypse comics in the plastic film :
I do n’t really know how they ’re going to put all that together or exactly what characters , or how that ’s expire to sour .

It ’s a rather clever Christmas sequence as it ’s festive and jolly but also terrify . While Santa being on Clara ’s ceiling should be an alibi for happiness , it ’s actually a nightmarish growing , and only the Doctor knows why . It ’s the scariest Christmas adventure so far .
Kids will be delighted to know Santa remains inviolate . He ’s not a golem or an exotic – he ’s the real , echt Santa Claus !

There ’s a long - digest beef . You never know why , but from the get - go they ’re kind of at each other ’s throats .

Executive manufacturer Michael Narducci explained what the midseason finale will unwrap about the connexion between Hayley and Klaus :
There ’s a really interesting connecter that they have , and Klaus will [ learn ] what Hayley is going to do so as to aid and dislodge her the great unwashed . Klaus is a strategic , Laputan master operator , and I recollect he knows that Hayley marrying Jackson and these werewolves gaining power and forming an confederation and Hayley having restraint of those werewolves is a much better position than Finn take ascendence of the wolfman . So , it ’s to the benefit not only to the Mikaelson family , but his child , if Hayley goes through with this wedding . At the same time , Klaus in his devious way knows Hayley might be a little reluctant to pursue in that wedding because of her lingering feelings for Elijah . So I think Klaus ’ linear perspective … is wanting the mother of his child to not have another married man because that husband might be a threat to his character as lone father to Baby Hope . But he have intercourse that strategically there are alliance to be made .
He also hinted at some jumbo plotlines that will be correct up for the sleep of the season , one take the after - effect of Elijah ’s torture and one about Freya :
There ’s a gravid storyline go onward for Elijah where he ’s take in a hard time keeping control of what Esther has unleashed within him . unfeigned to form , Elijah realizes this red room access , this capacity to violence , is something he ’s been able to manipulate for 1,000 year and he might not be able-bodied to control it anymore . So he has to figure out how to control it , if there ’s a style to control it , and if there ’s a manner to his benefit to let that door get around open and apply his ferocity as an reward against those who have menace his family . What cost might that have if he were to do so ? Elijah will always bear in the most noble way , but he is a lamia and there ’s a price to that existence which Elijah will have to explore .
… There is a huge storyline coming up that ’s go away to come up to [ Esther ’s first youngster Freya and her quite a little with Dalia ] . There will be subtle hints of that in [ this ] episode for the measured looker who really watches the show and asks the correct inquiry .
