Director, J.J. Abrams explains why Star Trek skipped Comic Con.
IGN Movies caught up with director J.J. Abrams at this past weekend’s San Diego Comic-Con where the Star Trek filmmaker explained to us why there was a distinct lack of Trek evident at this year’s show.
Abrams explains that Paramount decided not to promote the movie, along with Transformers 2 and G.I. Joe, at this year’s Comic-Con as part of a larger marketing strategy.
Watch the embedded video interview with Abrams below to hear it from the man himself:
George Lucas says that he will consider making Indy 5, if he can come with an idea that the actors will like.
In spite of the critical mauling Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull received, George Lucas has been discussing the possibility of a fifth film in the franchise, stating, “If I can come up with another idea that they like, we’ll do another.”
Speaking to The Sunday Times, Lucas said that putting together the recently released sequel was a challenge. “Indiana Jones only becomes complicated when you have another two people saying ‘I want it this way’ and ‘I want it that way’, whereas when I first did Jones, I just said ‘We’ll do it this way’ – and that was much easier.
“But now”, he went on, “I have to accommodate everybody, because they are all big, successful guys too, so it’s a little hard on a practical level.”
Lucas also elaborated on the creative differences he and Spielberg have recently been experiencing. “We still have the issues about the direction we’d like to take.” he explained.
“I’m in the future, Steven’s in the past. He’s trying to drag it back to the way they were, I’m trying to push it to a whole different place. So still we have a sort of tension. This recent one came out of that. It’s kind of a hybrid of our own two ideas, so we’ll see where we are able to take the next one.”
With Crystal Skull taking more than $750m worldwide, a fifth film seems more than likely, so what direction would you like to see the franchise take?

Synopsis Based on an incredible true story, The Express follows the inspirational life of college football hero Ernie Davis (Rob Brown), the first African-American to win the Heisman Trophy. Following his draft by the NFL, tragedy struck the star athlete and he was never able to take the professional field. But his tale would forever change the face of professional sports.
Raised in poverty in Pennsylvania coal-mining country, Davis overcame seemingly insurmountable obstacles to become an unstoppable running back for the Syracuse Orangemen. Under the guidance of coach Ben Schwartzwalder (Dennis Quaid)—a hard-nosed surrogate father with an obsession for winning a national championship–Davis would develop from an impressive high-school athlete into a legend.
While everyone agreed Ernie Davis was a miracle player, few thought this quiet young man would become an icon for the burgeoning civil rights movement dividing America in the early 1960s. Refusing to play by the unspoken racist rules of the day, Davis broke through one barrier after another to alter the way fans looked at men of his color.
Though leukemia struck the player a terrible blow in the prime of his life, his spirit soared when most would crumble. Forcing his bull-headed coach to re-examine a life lived in color-based privilege, Davis would join the ranks of black pioneers who inspired a movement that smashed barriers on and off the playing field.
