Where do they go from here?  Maybe (even probably) they can do another couple of movies based on this new cast.  But then what?  Where do they go from there?

With the entire original series - tv and movies - to mine for (hopefully slightly skewed) plots, they should be able to do another 10 movies easy.

How many movie series these days run that long?  The only one I can think of is Harry Potter, which is somewhat of an exception.  But beyond that - what 4 X-Men movies?

Difference is, I'm still up and at work. 1 hour to go.  :yawn:

Well, I usually leave home at 6:30 am to be at the office around 7ish.

Work's either from 6:30, 1:18 or 9pm. That also means my saviours will soon arrive.  :)

Exception - movies than play with significantly the same actors.

Fanboys. A good friend of mine and I were fanatics at school (though never so hardcore), so it invoked plenty memories. He now runs a small wrestling promotion back home in his free time, another passion of ours from that time.  :blush:

The Bourne movies have potential.  Lots of the comic films could do it I suppose, for example Iron Man and Spiderman (as well as X-Men).

James Bond is over 20 and  will soldier on with better and worse Bonds until the end of time. I see Star Trek & Star Wars for that matter also doing so. 10-15 years from now Batman will start over, etc.

You guys need to lighten up. I liked some aspects (and hated other aspects) of all the Trek Series, movies. IMO after two viewings it's the second best thing in the Movie side after Khan which is the Citizen Khan of Star Trek movies.

Sheesh.
:p

Star Trek VI is the best Star Trek movie. :angry:

watched "Memories Of Murder" last time. I don't know how I missed this one so long. Clever cheeky and deeply weird like all of Bong's flicks. There's a killer of cute Korean girls walking in the rain in some hick part of Korea. A big city cop comes to town and gets the full on hillbilly cop experience.

Excellent unpredictable movie.

You'd never be able to secure that cast for ten features.  That's fifteen years, and some of these people have prospects.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.
