Damon Lindelof, executive producer and writer for the television series Lost, reveals, “We’re looking at a movie like The Dark Knight, which went one step beyond Batman Begins. It is really about something, and at the same time it was a superhero movie. We don’t want to abandon all the things that made the first movie work…but we also really want the movie to thematically resonate.”
The path they want to chase is quite an avenue. The Dark Knight was superb from actors to execution even to the script. It can be done but adding that label to what you want to achieve heightens the expectancy of the film’s standards. Marketing ploy or not, it could swing in either direction for the franchise. They have some big shoes to step into if they want to attain the same results.
Star Trek 2 is not set to hit theaters until 2012.
