How Fuller's "Star Trek: Discovery" Will Approach Future Technology That’s Very Close to Our Present
"Star Trek's" big 50th anniversary got an early celebration this weekend at the Star Trek: Mission New York convention in Manhattan. It gave fans the opportunity to see their favorite actors from the franchise but also gave us a few new clues as to what we'll see from Bryan Fuller's "Star Trek: Discovery."
Fuller's CBS All Access series, set to debut in January 2017, is still quite mysterious. We know who's working behind-the-scenes, found out the official name not too long ago and got our first teaser (with fun Easter Eggs). Fuller has said the cast would continue in the progressive tradition of the show (it will feature a female lead called "Number One" who will not be the captain) and we got an alien tease but we're still wondering who will actually be in the new series. Sadly the convention this weekend did not divulge that information.
While Fuller wasn't at the show, writer/producers Nicholas Meyer and Kristen Beyer were and fed fans a few morsels of information. As you might be aware, Star Trek: Enterprise took place during the years 2121-2155 while the original series took place 2265–2269. Since "Discovery" is meant to take place chronologically between those two, where does that leave their "future" technology?
“It was about finding a space in the chronology to maneuver and create stuff,” Meyer says of the decision to pick that particular ten year gap. “Bryan didn’t want to use the same characters from other series, and a 10-year pre-Kirk thing seemed perfect.” That setting also allows them to employ and expand upon established Trek technology that once seemed fanciful, but is now commonplace. The notion of a portable communicator, for example, seems less futuristic in an age when everyone’s carrying an iPhone. “We want to remain faithful to [the technology] we know, but there’s stuff we can do now that goes so far beyond what they did,” Beyer remarked. “Star Trek was part of creating or inspiring some of the [devices] we enjoy now, and we want to do that as well.”
As a life-long Trek fan I admit I was a bit disappointed to learn the new show would take place when it does and not go further into the future, if for no other reason than I love to see new, fictional technology. Besides the Star Trek: Nemesis film, Star Trek: Voyager went the farthest into the future of any "Trek" series (not counting any time travel business).
It seems strange to me they'd stress about where to shoehorn themselves in rather than just moving forward. I feel like they're limiting themselves in terms of the technology they can believably use (as in, believable for a future we've yet to see while not do something ridiculous like show a crew member using an iPad), or will be forced to change things from what's been established in previous Trek creations. As they said, the franchise, like most sci-fi stories, has been inspirational to real-world tech we use every day now. I'd love to see what interesting advancements they'd invent and, tech aside, I also just really want to see what the Federation and its enemies and allies are up to "now." Boldly go, as they say, where no one has gone before.
Anyway, although he wasn't there, Fuller did leave the convention a video message for fans about the general concept of the new show:
"['Discovery' is] an opportunity to reinvent, re-explore and re-introduce alien races you may be familiar with, but also introduce brand new aliens, planets and ships you haven’t seen before,” Fuller continued. And we’ll be seeing these new aliens and planets from a different perspective; where past Trek shows have all revolved around a starship captain, 'Discovery' will feature a supporting crew member as the point of view character. “We’ll be looking at life aboard a starship from a whole different dynamic."
During the panel it was also revealed that Beyer, a "Star Trek" novelist, would be overseeing a Star Trek: Discovery novel and comic book series set to support the show in real time. Simon & Schuster will publish the book by David Mack while IDW will publish the comic from Mike Johnson and artist Tony Shasteen.

Turning 50 doesn’t have to be all doom and gloom. In fact, those typical black-and-white “50 years old” party decorations, suggesting that the celebrant is “so old,” seem out of place to me. Fifty can be fun. Fifty can be optimistic. Isn’t Hollywood’s most famous re-invented party boy, Robert Downey, Jr. over 50? Isn’t the always-engaging Marisa Tomei over 50?
This year Star Trek turns 50 and the phenomenon never looked better. There’s a new movie, a new fascinating Star Trek podcasts out there. And now, more than ever, there’s top TV show and even new stamps from the U.S. Post Office. There’s a bunch of -notch merchandise from innovative companies like Titan and Eaglemoss.
But it wasn’t always so. Back when Star Trek was turning 20 the future wasn’t so certain. It was a struggle. Fans were ridiculed. The world at large did not associate...

Duncan Jones' new sci-fi movie Mute will feature Paul Rudd, Alexander Skarsgard, and the mighty Sam Rockwell...
Director Duncan Jones is pretty much done and dusted with next summer's Warcraft movie, and before it's released, he's embarking on a new science fiction film by the name of Mute.
Penned by Jones and Mike Johnson, Mute is set 40 years in the future, in Berlin. It centres on the story of Leo, a mute bartender, who has to face off against the city's gangsters to try and find out what's happened to his missing partner.
According to Deadline, the Berlin of the future in Mute will be "a rolling city of immigrants, where East crashes against West in a science-fiction Casablanca".
Mute has signed up its two leads, too. Paul Rudd will be taking on the role of one of a pair of American surgeons in the movie,...

After I saw “Moon” when it was released in 2009, I immediately wanted to a) watch “Moon” again and b) find out what else director Duncan Jones was working on. The answer to b) was a sci-fi thriller called “Mute,” and fans of the captivating, moody, thought-provoking “Moon” have been eagerly awaiting that project ever since the summer of 2009. Now things are finally moving forward for “Mute”: News broke late Tuesday that the film will star Paul Rudd, fresh off Marvel’s “Ant-Man,” and “True Blood” alum Alexander Skarsgard. “Mute” — which Jones has been working on for 12 years now — will be about “a woman whose disappearance causes a mystery for her partner, a mute bartender. When she disappears, he has to go up against the city's gangsters,” as producer Stuart Fenegan described in 2009. Here’s how today’s press release sums up the film: "Berlin. Forty years from today.

It looks like director Duncan Jones (Warcraft, Source Code, Moon) is finally moving forward on hit long-awaited passion project, Mute. He even got Paul Rudd (Ant-Man) and Alexander Skarsgard (True Blood) to star in the film. How cool is that!
Mute is an original film that was written by Jones and Mike Johnson, and here’s an official story summary that has been released:
Berlin. Forty years from today. A roiling city of immigrants, where East crashes against West in a science-fiction Casablanca. Leo Beiler (Skarsgard), a mute bartender has one reason and one reason only for living here, and she’s disappeared. But when Leo’s search takes him deeper into the city’s underbelly, an odd pair of American surgeons (led by Rudd) seem to be the only recurring clue, and Leo can’t tell if they can help, or who he should fear most.

Filmmaker Duncan Jones burst onto the scene in a big way in 2009 with his sci-fi film “Moon,” and ever since, Jones— who has made “Source Code,” and the upcoming “Warcraft” in the interim— has been talking up a “Blade Runner”-ish sci-fi film called “Mute.” In fact, the film has been in the works for over a decade — Jones recently called the project his “Don Quixote,” a reference to Terry Gilliam’s long-unmade/maybe-never-getting-made “The Man Who Killed Don Quixote” — but that’s finally changing. Afm is in full swing and that means sales, scripts being bought, and actors attaching themselves to projects to entice buyers in global markets.

Paul Rudd and Alexander Skarsgard have joined the cast of Duncan Jones' long-gestating dream project "Mute" at Lotus Entertainment.
Set in Berlin four decades in the future, the now immigrant-filled city has become a real mix of East meets West culture. Skarsgard plays a mute bartender who goes up against his city's gangsters and deep into the city's underworld in an effort to find out what happened to his missing partner.
Rudd plays one of a pair of strange American surgeons who may be the only clue the bartender may have to the truth. Jones and Mike Johnson penned the script while Stuart Fenegan will produce.
Jones is currently in post-production on the epic fantasy game adaptation "Warcraft" for Universal Pictures.

With Duncan Jones still hard-at-work on his third and biggest film to date, next summer's Warcraft, it'll be five whole years since Source Code hit the big screen. Hoping to relinquish the wait -- and probably get himself a little inspired again after all the tedious work involved in this newest film -- Jones plans to use the 11-months it'll take to finish up VFX on his Universal/Legendary picture to shoot another film entirely, his long-gestating passion project Mute. Kicking around since at least 2009, when concept art began to float onto the web, the Moon director revealed his bold plans at Comic-Con earlier today. Holding near and dear to the sci-fi genre, Mute is a Blade Runner-inspired tale revolving around a mute bartender in a futuristic Berlin who is lifted when he goes searching for his missing girlfriend. The villains are a "pair of comedians," and little else is known besides this.

Duncan Jones, director of Moon, Source Code and, more recently, Legendary’s Warcraft adaptation is clearly not big on holidays. With work on his sprawling video game adaptation coming to a close – aside from a handful of VFX shots, the project is ostensibly wrapped up – Jones plans to revisit a long-gestating film that has alluded the spotlight for some time.
That property in question is Mute, a low-fi sci-fi that reportedly draws stylistic inspiration from Ridley Scott’s seminal Blade Runner. According to Empire, Jones is aiming to finally drag the noir in front of the cameras during his Warcraft downtime, citing the 11 months it took to film the rather excellent Moon as inspiration for a quick turnaround.
Dark Horse and Glenn Fabry and myself have been working on the graphic novel for [Mute] for years now – literally years – and there’s a very good chance, if I can squeeze [it in] in these 11 months,...

Samoa Joe wrestled his final event for Ring of Honor on Saturday night in New York City. He teamed with Aj Styles to defeat Roh Tag Team Champions Christopher Daniels and Kazarian in a non-title dark match that took place after the TV tapings.
The reason it was his last Roh match is because he recently signed a full time contract with WWE. They are going to allow him to finish his independent bookings into early August, but after that it’s WWE only. This match was originally scheduled to be a part of the TV taping that took place on Saturday until WWE shut it down because Roh airs on Destination America now.

“You can do this — and if you do, you will never be the same.” That’s the pitch Mike Johnson, director of a Seattle homeless shelter and residential drug treatment facility, makes to his charges in A New High, Samuel Miron and Stephen Scott Scarpulla’s feature documentary that is having its world premiere in competition at this month’s Los Angeles Film Festival. The trailer reveals a novel take on combating the struggles faced by addicts every minute, every hour and every…...

Colors by Rafael Albuquerque
Published by Dark Horse
Rafael Albuquerque’s miniseries passion project reaches the halfway point with Ei8ht #3. The book has successfully come from being an interesting though empty time travel story and finally into a high concept pulp action adventure and if it can stick the landing it’s bound to become one of the most enjoyable comics of the year.
The story so far follows Joshua, a would-be assassin sent back in time to murder a Nazi officer. Naturally things have gone awry and Joshua finds himself the Meld, the place where missing things go throughout all space and time. He’s swept up into a larger plot involving a local warlord who’s amassed an army made up of Roman legionaries, dinosaurs, and even Joshua’s target. With little time left, Joshua must help...

Idw Publishing has announced a Star Trek/Green Lantern crossover at WonderCon 2015.
The publisher is teaming up with DC Comics for the Spectrum Wars miniseries.
Veteran Star Trek comics writer Mike Johnson will be teaming with artist Angel Hernandez (Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse, Arrow).
The Green Lantern Corps will team up with Starfleet after their power rings fall into the wrong hands.
"We've looked forward to bringing these two iconic universes together for a long time," said Greg Goldstein in a statement.
"Star Trek and Green Lantern both share so many of the same science fiction adventure themes and ideals that a galaxy-spanning crossover like this is simply... logical."
Star Trek/Green Lantern: The Spectrum War #1 will launch in July.

Mashable has revealed that the worlds of Green Lantern and Star Trek will collide this summer in a crossover even from Idw Publishing, CBS Consumer Products, and DC Entertainment. Mike Johnson is writing Star Trek/Green Lantern: The Spectrum War, while Angel Hernandez will provide art. "We’ve looked forward to bringing these two iconic universes together for a long time," Idw President and COO Greg Goldstein said. "Star Trek and Green Lantern both share so many of the same science-fiction adventure themes and ideals, that a galaxy-spanning crossover like this is simply...logical." The site adds that the crew of the Enterprise will meet Hal Jordan in the 23rd Century and promise that some of them will end up wearing Green Lantern Corps Power Rings. If those rumours about Chris Pine playing Hal are true, we'll get another type of crossover soon...

If one recalls, Ei8ht #1 was the first issue of a five part miniseries created by Rafael Albuquerque and Mike Johnson. When the initial issue came out last month, it came up on the intriguing, but lacking side of the spectrum. The latest issue has hit the spinner racks, and it’s safe to say this book is set to be a fantastic science fiction romp.
The story so far follows an unnamed man who wakes up robbed of memories the Meld, a strange place outside of past, present, and future. He recalls his mission to travel to the past to execute a Nazi officer but clearly something’s gone awry.

It’s true that this series has made the terrible decision to split art duties between plotlines instead of individual issues such as with Futures End and Batman Eternal, but for once this series does something that resembles competence.
The story this week is surprisingly better focused than the series has been thus far.

While this slow slog through the wasteland that has become Earth 2 is reaching its apex, there is one reason to be cautiously optimistic for what’s to come. This issue marks the arrival of writer Cullen Bunn, of the current Sinestro and Magneto runs. If there’s one thing to be said about Cullen Bunn, it’s that he is rarely boring. He has offbeat sensibilities that make him stand out from other lesser known talents.

Now the heroes face the unironically named Deathspawn, a monster with the power to kill the very heart of Earth 2. Big Barda leads an assault into the last remaining human outpost with an army of “proto-Furies” naturally they’re an army of faceless minions that have never been foreshadowed in anyway, because that would involve effort.

With so many issues coming out at a rapid fire pace, a creative team should have a perfectly clear plan for pencillers, inkers, and colorists to follow. Previous weeklies have done this successfully like the excellent ‘52’, where the prolific Keith Giffen did rough break downs for every issue. ‘Batman Eternal’ and ‘Futures End’ are two current weekly titles that have a team of four rotating artists. One of the things that has done the greatest disservice to...

‘Earth 2: World’s End’ #9
Written by Daniel H. Wilson, Marguerite Bennett, & Mike Johnson
Arty by Scott McDaniel, Tyler Kirkham & John Livesay, Stephen Segovia & Jason Paz, Robson Rocha & Guillermo Ortego, Eduardo Pansica & Walden Wong
Published by DC Comics
It’s time to do the regular ‘Earth 2: World’s End’ analysis again and unfortunately, not much has changed. The series continues to suffer from the overwhelming art team and terribly unengaging storylines. One thing of note is the addition to the art team, Scott McDaniel, who takes on the duty of panel breakdowns. However, what change he was to have brought is nigh invisible, save for some slightly better set up pages.
This week, the story involves the primal forces of the Earth seeking out their new avatars. After nearly deserting Solomon Grundy and Sam Zhao to hold off the falling fragments of the moon, Alan Scott returns...

‘Earth 2′ #29
Written by Marguerite Bennett & Mike Johnson
Pencils by Andy Smith; Inks by Trevor Scott
Published by DC Comics
‘Earth 2’ #29 marks the torch passing from series writer Tom Taylor to Marguerite Bennett and her fellow ‘Earth 2: World’s End’ writing team. Unfortunately, it’s off to a rough start as #29 marks the first genuinely bad issue in nearly two and half years of solid releases.
With the start of “World’s End,’ the ‘Earth 2’ main book has changed to fit alongside its sibling series’ format. That’s not to say the change was bad. In fact, the first issue to tie into ‘World’s End’ is one of the greatest in the entire series. However, it’s clear now that ‘Earth 2’ is mostly a book that serves to better flesh out story points and characters not fully explored in ‘World’s End.’

‘Earth 2: World’s End’ #8
Written by Daniel H. Wilson, Marguerite Bennett, & Mike Johnson
Art by Tyler Kirkham & Joe Weems, Stephen Segovia & Jason Paz, Jorge Jimenez, and Eddy Barrows & Eber Ferreira
Published by DC Comics
It feels that for every step ‘World’s End’ takes forward it takes one back. While this series strives to take on the massive cast of ‘Earth 2’ and streamline the snares in the numerous stories and subplots, it hits serious problems when dealing with inconsistent art, bizarre hang-ups on how parts of ‘Earth 2’s world functions, and unnecessary tie ins.
The plot so far involves the planet Apokolips teleporting into the moon, causing unfathomable destruction across the globe due to gravitational forces on top of the already devastating might of the New God forces. Jimmy Olsen has become merged with a Mother Box and the helm of Dr. Fate and is achieving a state beyond human existence.

Written by Daniel H. Wilson, Marguerite Bennett, & Mike Johnson
Art by Jan Duursema & Keith Champagne, Robson Rocha & Guillermo Ortego, Tyler Kirkham & Joe Weems, Stephen Segovia & Jason Paz, & Jorge Jimenez
Published by DC Comics
The end of Earth 2 draws ever closer. The planet is under attack by the female furies of Apokolips, the Superman and Batman families search the fire pits for Huntress who has been taken by Desaad, Alan Scott has a mournful reunion with his newly raised boyfriend, Dr. Fate acts and speaks cryptically, and the World Army plans to take on Apokolips.
This week is unfortunately not as interesting as last time. It spends a lot of time focused on the Superman and Batman team fighting off monstrous clones of Clark Kent. However, the Furies arrive for the opening of this issue, meaning they still have a larger role to play.

Art by Jorge Jimenez, Tyler Kirkham & Joe Weems, Eddy Barrows & Eber Ferreira, Jan Duursema & Drew Geraci, Eduardo Pansica & Walden Wong, with Jaime Mendoza
Published by DC Comics
Another week means another issue of World’s End. While there is once again a block paragraph that makes up the writers’ credits, this is the first time World’s End shows the potential promised with issue one.
The numerous plotlines are much more balanced this time around, giving each character the proper amount of attention without taking up too many panels, the one exception being Queen Marella. The four Furies are stopped, at least for now, when Doctor Fate defeats Famine but senses that Jimmy Olsen is about to achieve a great power and abandons Hawkgirl and Flash, Marella makes a deal with some sleeping Lovecraftian monsters to exact vengeance for Atlantis,...

Art by Jan Duursema & Jonathon Glapion, Tyler Kirkham & Joe Weems, Eduardo Pansica & Jaime Mendoza, Eddy Barrows & Eber Ferreira
Published by DC Comics
The world ending of World’s End continues on its way. Again, there’s a big old box of art teams, all spread thinly across this book. Having issues with the pencil and inks is a bit moot at this point, but it bear repeating. With DC publishing two other weekly titles with rotating artists who handle one issue a moth, it’s honestly inexcusable that they let this happen with such weak art.
World’s End continues with its stories. However, this week’s cover is deceptive, like last time. Alan Scott, a.k.a. Green Lantern, does get some much missed panel time. He’s pitted against on of Earth 2’s first villains,...

Published by DC Comics
Earth 2: World’s End rounds out its first month with issue #4 so how does it fare so far? If there’s one way to describe this week, it’s that while it still suffers from a story stretched between its massive cast and how every three pages has its own art team, it still comes out on top with an interesting story.
What helps the most this issue is the shift of story from Earth 2’s Superman and Batman families to the war with Apokolips on a grander scale. The characters who take up the spotlight are the leaders of the World Army: Mr. Terrific and Terry Sloane,...

Published by DC Comics
This week’s issue of Earth 2: World’s End is where some problems with the series as a whole begin to form. The major failings here are a scattered story and lack of a consistent art team. This issue, like the last two, divide up their massive artist team amongst the various storylines. This results in some segments looking good and crisp while others are drawn sloppily, there’s even a case where characters are missing their faces. This is especially bad when most of Earth 2 has been shown to us through the excellent pencils and inks of Nicola and Trevor Scott. They mastered the look of the...
