“It’s going to be fun.”
When Chris Pine, Captain James Tiberius Kirk himself, was asked by a fan on Twitter whether Star Trek Beyond would be fun or if it would be dark, Pine emphatically stated that their goal was to create a film that was just as much fun for audiences to watch as it was for them to make. This was the theme of last night’s Star Trek Beyond fan event, held at the Paramount Pictures lot in Los Angeles, California. Everyone there wanted you to know that this new movie, positioned as a celebration of Star Trek’s big 50th anniversary, is going to be a good time, that it’s going to be fun. The subtext to all of this being ‘don’t worry, we’re not making another Into Darkness.’
