Has Star Trek 4 been shelved?

Bad news for our resident Trekkers Shawn and Mike S as word hit the Interwebs today that the next instalment in Star Trek's big-screen franchise might not happen after all.

Word came via the folks at Collider that contract negotiations for Chris Pine, who plays James T. Kirk, and Chris Hemsworth, who was to return in the untitled fourth film as Kirk's back-from-the-dead dad, have stalled.

This comes after a director was signed to the film. However, J.S. Clarkson has reportedly left the project to helm HBO's Game of Thrones prequel series. Why? One can only speculate, but reports came out last August that contract negotiations for Chrises Pine and Hemsworth had gone south, despite Pine's desire to return to the captain's chair.

With no Kirk, is there a point in another film? Doesn't sound like it.

Hopefully all this can get sorted out, and we can see more Star Trek on the silver screen. I dig me the new incarnation of Star Trek, and thought Star Trek Beyond was awesome. Only time will tell, I suppose.

    I felt Star Trek beyond was a bit OTT, but ok. I preferred the 1st 2, especially the 1st one. I've watched that several times. As far as Hemsworth not being in the 4th, I could care less, but Chris Pine not in a 4th, I wouldn't even bother watching it in a theater, maybe at home on Netflix or something. Total shame if Chris wasn't in it, he's a very good James T Kirk.

      Yes, no one else should play Kirk at all. I didn't think anyone could replace Shatner, but Pine does a great job.

Top 5 quotes from the Rambo franchise

It's Rambo Day, which means it's a day we celebrate all things Rambo. And no, we didn't make that up. It's a real thing, and part of the lead in to Rambo: Last Blood coming out on Friday. We were going to celebrate by doing a Top 5 favourite Rambo kills, but the fine folks at Arrow in the Head already did something like that, so I figured why not share our favourite Rambo quotes. I like quotes. Quotes are good. Anyway, here we go with our Top 5, in no particular order: 5) "They drew first blood." - John Rambo, First Blood (1982) Because it's always cool when the hero references the title of the movie in a quote. 4) "Live for nothing, or die for something. Your call." - John Rambo, Rambo (2008) Because it's 100-per-cent truth, and is the exclamation mark on a great monologue by Stallone. 3) "I could have killed 'em all. I could kill you. In town, you're the law. Out here, it's me. Don't push it, or I'l...
