After the critical and financial success of last year’s Star Trek reboot the pressure for a sequel was inevitable. However, it’s reassuring that when the writers/directors/producers are questioned about it they seem determined to wait until the right script is in place. It’s all too common for modern Hollywood studios to set a release date first and then desperately scrabble around trying to put a film together to meet it (see the dire Quantum of Solace for a recent example.) I was a massive fan of the Star Trek reboot, and it’s great that J.J Abrams and the gang are taking their time, but there is a word present in pretty much every discussion about the sequel that has me worried: Khan.
