The people at Paramount are fairly smart. On the whole, the studio makes good films. I think they knew the Trek franchise had been de-railed and needed something new to bring it back to life and it sounds like they are on the right track. Of course, we'll all know this time next year whether or not they took the right track.

But before Dark Knight, Paramount had most of the big blockbuster hits of 2008... WB had none... in fact I think they had some of the biggest flops of 2008 -- Speed Racer was WB wasn't it?
