Star Trek Teaser

Not likely.

if they just call it Star Trek I'm going to be seriously pissed. The idea of naming your product identically or near identically to the original just to add confusion is pissing me off.

which means Orci is lurking around the corner

Didn't you hear? They broke up.

JJ is still pretty much in charge even when removed from the director's chair just like SW. This shit is beyond saving.

Its time for the Wholocaust. Who fangirls and Who ponyfags must be gassed.

it's not even in JJ's rebooted timeline though

Everything is JJs timeline now.

Why do they do this? JJ is terrible.

It's quite clear that they will do just that. The reason is that it does wonders for their marketing on the Internet. Anyone who hears of Star Trek is going to Google it and the first thing they will find is this shit. Well either that or the shitty reboot by JJ.

It's not about creating confusion, it's about replacing the old stuff with the new. That's how you maximise the usefulness of brand recognition, which is the only reason it's even called Star Trek in the first place.

I mean JJ could have theoretically just made a similar but different film where he copied Star Wars or Star Trek but those movies sold mostly thanks to their name. How many people would see JJ's OC if it had an original title and not superficial similarities to a successful franchise?
