Simon Pegg says he was hired to make Star Trek 3 less 'Star Trek-y'
"They had a script for Star Trek that wasn’t really working for them. I think the studio was worried that it might have been a little bit too Star Trek-y. Avengers Assemble, which is a pretty nerdy, comic-book, supposedly niche thing, made 1.5 billion dollars. Star Trek Into Darkness made half a billion, which is still brilliant.
But it means that, according to the studio, there’s still one billion dollars worth of box office that don’t go and see Star Trek. And they want to know why. People don’t see it being a fun, brightly colored, Saturday night entertainment like the Avengers. [The solution is to] make a Western or a thriller or a heist movie, then populate that with Star Trek characters so it’s more inclusive to an audience that might be a little bit reticent."

Yeah I heard that the first draft was character driven so obviously they threw it out and hired someone to make it more shouty with more explosions. I'm amazed they didn't offer it to Michael Bay.

I hate execs and their need to have all of the money and not just some.

Mayby they can add a new weapon, something like a sword.
And to make it cool, it should glow and it can cut trough pretty much everything!
And giant ships and alot of space battles and explosions!
