Paramount Considering G.I. JOE: RETALIATION Director For STAR TREK 3?

While it was thought that Attack The Block's Joe Cornish was the favourite to replace J.J. Abrams on the third Star Trek movie, Latino-Review now reports that a new candidate has emerged who is on the top of Paramount's list. G.I. Joe: Retaliation's John M. Chu. While their sources were unable to fully confirm this report, it's far from an unlikely choice. After all, that movie did earn over $370 million at the box office earlier this year and Abrams' schedule still looks set to be jam packed thanks to his commitment to Star Wars Episode VII. However, what about Chu's? He is still attached to both a third G.I. Joe movie and He-Man, so time will tell. What do you guys think?

GI Joe 2 was the worst film I've seen this year by far. Even Michael Bay would make a better Star Trek.

Latino Review is BS, please stop posting news articles written by them. They assume way too much, and you know what happens when you assume...

Anyone who thinks GI Joe 2 was great but the first GI Joe was crap, needs a swift kick to the brain.

There were certain scenes, mostly the ninja mountain scenes. Other than that, retaliation felt like an straight to DVD cliche action movie.

Just give it to Bryan Singer.

Superman Returns may have been a bit "meh" but Singer's overall track record is very good, plus he thrives doing ensemble films. As an added bonus, he's a self-confessed Trekkie, as opposed to Abrams who knew sweet F all about Trek when he took the job.

If Star Trek gets Blomkamp then that would be the best slap in the face towards Star Wars. I know that will most likely not happen, but it would be cool.

Everyone who doesn't have a clear choice for a movie wants to hire this guy. he is the "we're [frick]ed bring that generic one" type of director.

Like most people, I didn't see GI Joe, so I don't have a clue if this is good or bad news.
