As writer for Trek he could probably expect 2.5% of budget -- nm - LMS Feb 8, 09:41 5
- Which would be ~$4.6 mill. (Presumably split with his co-writer.) -- nm* - Ender Feb 8, 09:59 2
  - Yep, it would be split equally among credited writers. -- nm - LMS Feb 8, 10:02 1
    - Then at the end of the year, if you figured the tax wrong, they make you pay out of your own pocket! -- (edited) - Max Feb 8, 10:07
- Specifically or is that industry standard now? That seems a bit high and loose compared to what it used to be. -- nm - Max Feb 8, 09:46 1
  - it'll vary on type of film (I went middle range), and they'd be a cap, it's typical to get a small percentage of net profits too - LMS Feb 8, 09:58
At a guess, high six figures for each. -- nm - Roger More Feb 8, 09:33 1
- low 7 figs -- nm - Remlik Feb 8, 09:40
More than he got for Robot Chicken. -- nm* - Spawn Feb 8, 09:31
Are you counting his ST writer salary? -- nm - Ender Feb 8, 09:29 2
- ("Simon Pegg writes for Slackertalk??! oh.") -- nm - Max Feb 8, 09:31 1
  - ScottTrade -- nm - Spawn Feb 8, 09:32
I'm gonna say like $2-3 mil. -- nm - Reagen Feb 8, 09:28
