Miscellaneous Movie Musings the Sequel

[Ghoulish Delight]

So apparently JJ Abrams have tapped a writing team from within the unwashed ranks of Bad Robot writers to write the script for the next Star Trek movie. They have no produced credits to their name (though apparently they've also been asked to write an upcoming new Flash Gordon movie being produced by Fox).

Briefly met one of them at a party this weekend. Unfortunately didn't have much of a chance to talk to him (and he was a little embarrassed that the host made a point of announcing those two facts to those within earshot). But I had 2 observations. 1) Dude appeared younger than me. Weird. 2) I overheard him talking positively about the influence of Bob Odenkirk on his sensibilities, so I have some faith that I like this guy's style.
