don't you know you can't say that in today's climate without having 20 people jump down on you?

Per the video, Netflix basically has paid for the whole thing and has the rights to all countries but the US.
Ha. You hear that writers? Your work and creations aren't worth jack unless an actor makes it great. And when they don't do the role anymore or pass away, your character is done. Finished. You have no say in anything anymore.
This is why we've never seen another Joker since Heath Ledger, another Superman after Christopher Reeve, why we haven't seen another Star Trek production with the original Enterprise crew and why we will never, ever see another Spider-Man after the passing of Tobey Maguire's career.
Oh, that was fun.
Seriously writers, showrunners and directors. Do whatever you want with whatever you want. Whether it's copying someone else or doing your own thing, lets have fun. Nicholas Meyer defied the fans when he killed Spock, and despite their protests, the fans loved it. Let this series soar!
To be honest killing Spock actually let them take the character new places as it gave them breathing room for him to relearn everything and somehow gain a better understanding of his humanity. I'd gladly welcome someone as Superman if the script is good, the guy from Returns wasn't bad it was just a bad movie. You saw this with Her Majesty's Secret Service, he could have been a really good bond given more time. It's all about the actors, you could have an amazing movie but if the actors are bad.
This is why you see people working on Soap Operas for entire 60 year careers: it's not the writing it's the actors making the characters realistic no matter how silly things get.
It's why they say comedy is hard, if the actor has no timing or even a sense of humor it's not going to work. Naked Gun and Police Squad wouldn't have been the same without Leslie as Frank.

Nicky got shafted by Lennie and Harve and still bitches about it today. :lol
I can tell you now at the time most Fans wanted his head on a platter and probably somebody might have done it if somebody did'nt "Remember"
The only thing this Series is gonna do is Soar into Oblivion if they don't start getting their act together...:unsure

Brandon Routh. Easily the best Superman after Chris Reeve.

I wouldn't say that he still holds a grudge about it. I read his book "The View From The Bridge" and he seems to have let that decision by Harve go. After all, Nick did come back to write the Earth sequences in Star Trek IV and write and direct Star Trek VI. If he still hated the changes made to the ending, he would have removed it from his Director's Edition/Cut on DVD/Blu-Ray, but he didn't. He kept it all in because he still continued to work on Star Trek after that. And thank goodness to since he's always been involved with the even numbered original crew film and those are considered the best.
And I'm still excited that he's still a part of this series. I know he loves to brag about not giving fans what they want, but his involvement is certainly something I wanted regardless of what he does.
To be fair, we didn't see another fantastic Superman until Tyler Hoechlin took up the cape in Supergirl last year (no disrespect to Dean Cain intended) and we haven't had a good Joker since Ledger (Hamill doesn't count, as he came prior to Ledger).

Did'nt say he held a grudge but he does indeed bring it up occasionally and was not and still not happy about it .
He has now made peace with it though.
As far as working on the Treks, Nicks like any one else in the biz needs to make that money.
Funny thing about Nick is he is NOT a Sci-Fi fan and has stated such numerous times including a recent interview.
What drives him is the Family or human element in Trek.
Hopefully his ideas are not being ignored by the powers that be, and for anyone who has not read it his book is a fun little read!

Stella or kathy? lol. They hire kathy they'll have to slap an R rating on the show since she can't keep her trap shut.

George Reeves was the best Clark Kent, and the Superman I grew up with.

This is going to be less Star Trek and more new BSG.
I'm fairly sure one of the reasons they have it on their All Access is so that they don't have to worry about ratings and they can show and say pretty much whatever they want too.
