    Personally I have a much higher chance of going to see the new movie if it has NO ties to Kurtzman, and I am not alone in my friends-group for that opinion. I only went to see Star Trek Beyond because it was a fresh take mostly written by Simon Pegg (A known ST fan), and I think it’s the best of the three new movies.

      Definitely a YMMV situation. I have seen all three Kelvin movies and liked the first best of the lot

      Beyond didn’t redeem itself for me. The motorcycle ridiculousness put it in the Nemesis category for me. There’s also the fact that none of the rest of the family would watch with me after the first one.

      That said, the movies are being led by completely different people at this point.

      Kurtzman is only negotiating television production not movies. My point was that the movie people have yet to prove themselves in even being able to deliver a cinematic feature in the franchise. So, would be an extreme risk to lock a 5-7 year deal that includes television production.
