With Star Trek Into Darkness opening around the world, I recently landed an exclusive interview with Simon Pegg.  While we'd planned for an in-depth video interview in Los Angeles, his busy shooting schedule for his next movie turned our interview into an email exchange.  Since we covered so many different subjects, I'm breaking it up into two or three parts, and we're starting with Trek.

During our interview, Pegg talked about finally being able to speak openly about the sequel, if he felt any additional pressure playing Scotty in the sequel, his preparation process, what it was like working on the huge practical sets, filming the bridge scenes first, lens flares, what he took home from set, who broke character the most on camera, what he remembers most about making both films, voicing the video game, deleted scenes, Trek 3, and more.  Finally, Pegg sent over a video he made on set with Zoe Saldana and Anton Yelchin using the Bad Robot's Action Movie app.  You can watch it when he brings it up during the interview.  Hit the jump for what he had to say.



Before getting to the interview, if you'd like to watch my spoiler free video blog reaction after watching Into Darkness, click here.

Collider:  How nice is it to finally be answering questions about the sequel instead of when is it going to happen?

Pegg:  It's great and a relief but we're still remaining tight lipped about the plot. I don't care how many spoiler monsters plaster story details across their ...]]></description>

While everyone associates Bad Robot with J.J. Abrams, he actually has a producing partner that rarely does press and usually stays out of the limelight: Bryan Burk.  If you look over his IMDb profile, you'll see he's tremendously involved in all Bad Robot productions and was a key component in both Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness.

With the movie getting ready to premiere around the world, I recently landed an exclusive interview with the busy producer.  During our wide-ranging interview, we talked about making the sequel, the editing process, the secrecy, the title, if we'll get Star Trek 3 in less than four years, whether a new Star Trek TV show could happen in the near future, and more.  We also talked about other Bad Robot productions like Star Wars, Mission: Impossible 5, Infinitely Polar Bear,  Person of Interest, Revolution, Alfonso Cuaron's pilot Believe, Karl Urban's pilot Almost Human, and more.  Hit the jump for what he had to say.



Question: What the hell has this process been like?  Because I know how much you enjoy doing press.

BRYAN BURK: Well, you know, this is easier because in theory we’re just talking about Star Trek so it’s easier to talk about things that are out or coming out earlier because the fear is always that I will slip and talk about something prematurely.  So, that’s it.

I want to keep it spoiler free, what was the length of the first cut?

BURK: Good question, it wasn’t that long.  I want to say maybe ...]]></description>

If you're a fan of Bad Robot and live in Los Angeles area, it's time to head over to the new Gallery1988 location at 7308 Melrose.  That's because the gallery has teamed up with some great artists to create a new gallery show focused on the TV shows and movies produced by Bad Robot, like Fringe, Lost, Super 8, Person of Interest, Alias, Cloverfield, and Star Trek.  The show opens tonight and runs until May 18th, so you've got plenty of time to check it out.  However, since many of the items are very limited or original pieces of art, you probably want to head over soon if you want to buy anything.

Last night the gallery held a private reception for Bad Robot and I was able to stop by and take about 100 pictures of everything on display.  Hit the jump to see the pictures.

With Stephen King's Under the Dome set for its series debut on CBS this summer, the acclaimed author may be setting his sights on another TV show.  J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot is vying for the TV rights to King's time-traveling John F. Kennedy assassination novel, 11/22/63.  An adaptation of the book was previously attempted for a feature film, but there were creative disagreements over how to handle the unwieldy tome.  It looks like 11/22/63 may be bound for cable as a Warner Bros.-backed TV series instead of a full-length feature.  Hit the jump for more.

Deadline reports that Bad Robot is in negotiations for the rights to the King novel with an eye toward producing a cable TV series or mini-series.  Still no word on what the hell is going on with The Dark Tower.

Here's the book description for 11/22/63: A Novel (via Amazon):
Dallas, 11/22/63: Three shots ring out.

President John F. Kennedy is dead.

Life can turn on a dime—or stumble into the extraordinary, as it does for Jake Epping, a high school English teacher in a Maine town. While grading essays by his GED students, Jake reads a gruesome, enthralling piece penned by janitor Harry Dunning: fifty years ago, Harry somehow survived his father’s sledgehammer slaughter of his entire family. Jake is blown away . . . but an even more bizarre secret comes to light when Jake’s friend Al, owner of the local diner, enlists Jake to take over the mission that has become his obsession—to prevent the Kennedy assassination. ...]]></description>

Late last year I got to visit Bad Robot studios, a company founded in 1998 by J.J. Abrams, the prolific writer/director/producer that previously made Lost, Fringe, Alcatraz, Cloverfield, (named after a street near the studio), Mission: Impossible, Super 8 and, of course, Star Trek.  The reboot of the Star Trek series, which was able to respect the legacy and create room for a whole new generation, will keep telling its story in Star Trek Into Darkness---I went to Los Angeles to find out more about the movie.

My tour of the studio began at the department of special effects where we were shown some footage of an action scene that reminded me of the freefall from the first movie.  Without getting into too much detail, it's safe to say that Abrams has done it again: the tension of Into Darkness is intense, but leaves room for the sharp dialogue that is the trademark of the franchise.  Hit the jump for more on the special effects, costumes and props, the soundtrack, IMAX, the creatures, and so much more.



Star Trek - Beyond the Special Effects

After watching the exciting footage, Roger Guyett, who was responsible for visual effects and second unit directing, showed me some of the most challenging things of the new movie for his department---like the development of the water and fire effects on a large scale.  For Guyett, everything is very exciting:
"Now we're still on known ground, so we get to revisit the sets, which is super fun because we get to add some new characteristics and work with the available technology. And ...]]></description>

It appears as though spearheading both the Star Trek and Star Wars franchises just might not be enough for J.J. Abrams.  Though it's been clear that Abrams is keen on juggling multiple producorial projects at once by way of his Bad Robot banner, he might eventually have his hands on yet another couple of geek-friendly properties: Portal and Half-Life.  Speaking during a keynote conversation for DICE earlier today with Valve co-founder Gabe Newell, the prospect of feature film adaptations of the wildly popular video games Portal and Half-Life came up, and Newell expressed his desire to have Abrams involved with the films.  Hit the jump for more.

Here’s how the conversation went down at the 2013 DICE Summit (via Polygon):
"There's an idea we have for a game that we'd like to work with Valve on," said Abrams. Newell added, "We're super excited about that and we also want to talk about making movies, either a Portal movie or a Half-Life movie."
Obviously this is in the incredibly early stages of development and it sounds like Abrams isn’t even officially attached to anything yet, but it’s clear that Newell would be more than happy to have the filmmaker involved with either of these two franchises.  For those unaware, Portal is an excellent puzzle game in which the player is forced to use a portal gun in order to escape from a series of rooms within a complex.  There’s a larger story arc involved that keeps a sense of mystery going, and the game ...]]></description>

A Lance Armstrong movie is indeed moving forward, but it’s probably not the one that the famous cyclist had in mind.  A biopic of the seven-time Tour de France champion had been in development for a quite a while with Matt Damon and Jake Gyllenhaal involved in the project at different times, but now following Armstrong’s confession regarding doping charges, a feature film is in the works that focuses on the darker side of the cyclist’s life.  Deadline reports that J.J. Abrams and Bryan Burk have acquired the screen rights to the book proposal Cycle of Lies: The Fall of Lance Armstrong by author Juliet Macur.

It’s unclear in what capacity Abrams and Burk will be involved, but one assumes they’re solely onboard as producers.  Paramount Pictures and Abrams and Burke’s Bad Robot will produce the film, which is likely to draw a considerable amount of attention. ]]></description>

While director Ron Howard is currently knee-deep in post-production on his upcoming Formula 1 racing drama Rush, it appears that he may have found his next project.  Howard is now attached to direct an adaptation of the 2003 Israeli TV movie Kol Ma She’Yesh Li (translated to All I’ve Got).  The project has been in development at J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot for a couple of years, but it looks like Howard’s involvement will start moving this thing closer to production.  Hit the jump for more details on the film, which is described as a mix between The Notebook and Albert Brooks’ fantastic 1991 pic Defending Your Life.

News of Howard’s involvmenet with All I’ve Got comes via Vulture.  Written and directed by Margalit Keren (Be’Tipul), the story begins when a young couple who are very much in love get into a car accident, killing the young man.  The woman goes on to marry another man and have three children, but her death 50 years later brings her to the afterlife where she’s given the choice of forgetting the memory of her life post-accident and starting over as a young woman with her first love, or remaining as she is and waiting for her second husband’s death.  It’s an interesting premise, and if Howard sticks closer to Defending Your Life than The Lovely Bones, we could be in for something pretty cool.

The film would mark Howard’s first fantasy feature since 2000’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas, but not for lack of trying.  He’s ...]]></description>

While there are always many projects in development in the studio system, 1952 is near the top of my list.  That's because not only is Damon Lindelof writing the film, it's going to be directed by Brad Bird (The Incredibles, Ratatouille, The Iron Giant, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol), who only makes awesome movies.  While plot details are under wraps, everything points towards a large scale mystery film that may star George Clooney.  The last thing we heard about the plot was, "the picture is said to center on the journey of a middle-aged man and his contact with alien life," but this one liner could easily be wrong.

At a recent Bad Robot press event for the Star Trek sequel (more on that soon), I got to speak to Lindelof about 1952 and asked how it's going.  He revealed that he hopes to be in production in mid-2013, that Bird is now co-writing the film, and how he got Bird to direct the project.  He also says the film is not yet greenlit but when they figure out some casting elements and the budget, "we’ll be able to announce what this movie is."  Hit the jump for more.



As you can read below, the main reason 1952 came together is Bad Robot.  Lindelof explains:
"The writing of Trek was happening around the same time as the post production on Ghost Protocol so we were both in that a Bad Robot space at lot at that time and kind of became buds.  I ...]]></description>

Paramount Pictures and Bad Robot have found a director for the intriguing sci-fi pic God Particle.  Per Variety, the film “follows an American space station crew left abandoned after a problem with a Hadron accelerator causes Earth to vanish entirely.”  It sounds a bit like Danny Boyle's Sunshine, though seeing Earth completely disappear might be a bit more disturbing/terrifying for this space crew.  J.J. Abrams is set to produce, and newcomer Julius Onah has been hired to tackle directing duties with a script by Oren Uziel (Mortal Kombat: Rebirth).  Having helmed a number of critically lauded shorts, Onah recently made his feature directorial debut with the thriller The Girl Is in Trouble.  God Particle will be developed through Paramount’s Insurge arm, and thus will be made for a budget around $5-10 million.

As with every Abrams project, further plot details are being kept firmly under wraps.  The premise is highly intriguing, though, and is made all the more enticing by the fact that the film will be produced on a smaller budget. ]]></description>

The NBC drama series Revolution, premiering on September 17th, tells the story of a family that struggles to reunite in an American landscape where every single piece of technology — computers, planes, cars, phones and even lights — has mysteriously blacked out forever.  The show is centered around one strong-willed young woman, Charlie Matheson (Tracy Spiridakos), whose brother is kidnapped by militia leaders, forcing her to reconnect with her estranged uncle (Billy Burke), in order to rescue Danny (Graham Rogers), overthrow the militia and ultimately re-establish the United States of America, all while they explore the enduring mystery of why the power failed and if it will ever return.

During this recent exclusive interview with Collider, show creator/writer/executive producer Eric Kripke (Supernatural) talked about how the idea for the show started, how both J.J. Abrams (as executive producer) and Jon Favreau (as the pilot’s director) got involved, wanting to tell a character-driven adventure tale, how Revolution will have a slightly different and less snarky tone than Supernatural, his decision to immediately address the fact that the lack of electricity is not quite what it initially seems, the challenges of going from doing a show with two main characters to doing a show with a large ensemble cast, and how he already has a really solid idea about what Season 2 is, as well as possible notions for Season 3.  Check out what he had to say after the jump.

Paramount has teamed up director Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead) with screenwriter Mark Protosevich (I Am Legend) for Collider, which is easily the best title in the history of film.  The sci-fi film will be directed and co-written by Wright, who will also share producing credits along with J.J. Abrams and Nira Park of Bad Robot.  Any plot details are non-existent at the moment, but it could very well involve an intrepid group of web journalists who unite to save the world...or maybe the recent news surrounding the Large Hadron Collider at CERN; either way.  Hit the jump for more on Wright and Protosevich's upcoming projects to see where Collider might land.

Deadline reports that Paramount is teaming the talent of Wright and Protosevich for Collider, based on an original idea by Wright.  Protosevich is currently involved with the remake of Chan-wook Park's Oldboy, which is being directed by Spike Lee and stars Josh Brolin.  Protosevich's future works also include a feature adaptation of the hit video game Mass Effect and the reboot, Jurassic Park 4.
Wright, meanwhile, is busy completing The World's End, his "blood and ice cream trilogy" with stars Nick Frost and Simon Pegg.  The recently greenlit sci-fi comedy features a group of friends who reunite in order to complete an unfinished pub crawl, with the final stop at the bar named The World's End.  You may have also heard about Wright's recent tests of Marvel's Ant-Man which was recently screened at Comic-Con for the gathered masses.  ...]]></description>

Paramount was involved in two property acquisitions with high-profile producers today:

	Paramount teamed with J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot to option the nazi hunter spec script Wunderkind, written by Patrick Aison.
	The studio acquired the screen rights to Libba Bray's upcoming novel The Diviners.  Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage will produce through their Fake Empire banner.

Hit the jump for details on both projects.


Wunderkind
Risky Business provides the logline for Wunderkind:
"The action/thriller is set in the 1970s and follows two Nazi hunters;  one is with the CIA and another works for Israel's Mossad intelligence  organization. The two hunters' paths become intertwined---but they only  start working together reluctantly."
That's an enticing, cool premise---very appropriate for the Bad Robot development house.  Bryan Burk (Fringe) of Bad Robot will also produce alongside Abrams, Chris Cowles, Chris Fenton, and Brian McCurley.
The Diviners
The Diviners, the first in book in a planned four-part series, is set for publication in September.  Here's the official synopsis:
Evie O'Neill has been exiled from her boring old hometown and shipped  off to the bustling streets of New York City--and she is pos-i-toot-ly  thrilled. New York is the city of speakeasies, shopping, and movie  palaces! Soon enough, Evie is running with glamorous Ziegfield girls and  rakish pickpockets. The only catch is Evie has to live with her Uncle  Will, curator of The Museum of American Folklore, Superstition, and the  Occult--also known as "The Museum of the Creepy Crawlies."
When  a rash of occult-based murders comes to light, Evie and ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Chernobyl Diaries marks the directorial debut of visual effects maven Brad Parker.  The film eschews its found-footage conceit early yet still maintains that sub-genre’s documentary/cinema verite aesthetic.  Chernobyl Diaries is a less-is-more type flick, with a majority of the “creatures” completely enshrouded in darkness and most of the character deaths happening just off frame. In the following interview, director Brad Parker discusses settling on a “looser” camera, the surprising films he emulated for Chernobyl’s ‘look’ (hint: think Woody Allen) and the budgetary &#38; creative principles behind his less-is-more aesthetic.   I also try and find out about his Bad Robot project, but he's been trained well.  For the full interview, hit the jump.

Given that Fox’s Alcatraz is produced by J.J. Abrams’s Bad Robot production company, the show features a pretty hefty mythological bent alongside its “criminal of the week” procedural aspect. Bad Robot has gone all out on a viral campaign for the show, and we’ve already brought you our report from the viral scavenger hunt event at the actual Alcatraz prison in San Francisco. Today we’re bringing you yet another report on a viral event for the series, this time in the form of a video. Fans were sent to investigate a robbery at Skylight One Hanson, former home of the Williamsburgh Savings Bank in Brooklyn, New York. They followed clues, interrogated “witnesses”, and used tools given to them in order to solve the case.

One of the more crucial aspects of the viral event was the use of a Ford Mustang in their investigation. Participants had to use UV light inside the car to search for fingerprints that lead them to a cryptic Bluetooth message. Interestingly, Ford Motor Company seems to be integrating themselves pretty heavily into the viral campaign in order to advertise their new car. It’s definitely a different approach, and one that we’ll probably see more of in the future. Nevertheless, you can watch the video wrapping up the entire viral event after the jump. Alcatraz airs Mondays at 9/8c.

Paramount and Bad Robot are teaming up once more for an untitled action pic, and they’ve settled on Brad Parker to take the helm. Variety reports that the Diary of Lawson Oxford director has been set to head up the untitled action pic which has J.J. Abrams, Matt Reeves, and Bryan Burk onboard to produce. Plot details are under wraps, but Michael Gilio (Carter Beats the Devil) wrote the script. Parker made his feature directorial debut with the The Diary of Lawson Oxford, a horror film produced by Paranormal Activity helmer Oren Peli. The pic stars Jesse McCartney and is due out sometime next year.

Parker has a rapport with Reeves, as he served as second-unit director on the remake Let Me In. He began a successful career directing commercials in the 1990s, working on spots for Nike, Nintendo, and Sony. Bad Robot most recently produced the super-successful Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, and is gearing up for production start on Abrams’ sequel to Star Trek. ]]></description>

Paramount and J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot have settled on a couple of screenwriters to pen their adaptation of the graphic novel-picture book Boilerplate: History’s Mechanical Marvel. Deadline reports that JD Payne and Patrick McKay will handle scripting duties for the pic, which takes place in the late 19th and early 20th century and tells the story of the world’s first robot who “fought alongside Terry Roosevelt and Lawrence of Arabia, journeyed to the South Pole and was involved in the silent movie business before disappearing on the battlefields of World War I.” The idea for the story is fantastic, and hopefully Abrams and Co. can pull off an equally fascinating feature film.

Payne and McKay have yet to have one of their scripts produced, but they wrote the Goliath pic that Relativity is developing (and may or may not star Dwayne Johnson and Taylor Lautner), and are also penning a feature film adaptation of the Spike TV series Deadliest Warrior. Hit the jump to read a synopsis for the graphic novel.

Here’s the synopsis for Boilerplate:
Meet Boilerplate, the world’s first robot soldier—not in a present-day military lab or a science-fiction movie, but in the past, during one of the most fascinating periods of U.S. history. Designed by Professor Archibald Campion in 1893 as a prototype, for the self-proclaimed purpose of “preventing the deaths of men in the conflicts of nations,” Boilerplate charged into combat alongside such notables as Teddy Roosevelt and Lawrence of Arabia. Campion and his robot also circled the planet ...]]></description>

Writing duo Monica Breen and Alison Schapker have been hired to re-write a "top-secret" flick that's being developed by J.J. Abrams's production company Bad Robot and Paramount.  According to Deadline, the project, tentatively titled Zanbato, "involves Japanese history and robotics" and has been described as "swashbuckling robots with swords".  Out of curiosity, can one swashbuckle without a sword?  Isn't the sword the key component of the swashbuckler?

Been and Schapker have a long-standing relationship with J.J. Abrams and Bad Robot.  They recently signed a deal a 7-figure deal that will keep them as the co-executive producers of Fringe. Their past credits include Abrams' Alias and Lost as well as the family melodrama Brothers &#38; Sisters. ]]></description>

Now before anyone jumps to any conclusions about what this Star Trek sequel image/poster/whatever the hell this thing is, I'm quite sure it isn't from Paramount or J.J. Abrams Bad Robot.  I have a friend who works in (removed for obvious reasons) and this image/poster came across his desk today.  If I were a betting man, I'd say the image is for some sort of merchandising item, or for some group that needs to plan very far ahead.  But I really don't know where it originates from.  Hell, it could be an image from an upcoming Star Trek calendar.

However, with interest in the Star Trek sequel quite high, I thought it would be smart to share the image.  Like most of you, I loved J.J. Abrams Star Trek and cannot wait for this sequel.  Hit the jump to check it out.



So what do you think about this image/poster/whatever it is?  Wish this was coming out next summer.
