It looks like the script will be written by Erik Jendresen, the same guy that wrote Band of Brothers..... This could be good.

but Rob, star trek sucks, surely you know this? :p

Well, at least it didn't rape anybody's childhood. That has to count for something!

RICK BERMAN RAPED MY CHILDHOOD

I doubt it's with Picard & Co. They've pretty much written off Star Trek. I would like to see a DS9-cast movie. Enterprise-era could be feasable. I guess we'll wait until 2008.

What the hell did I have to do with any of this?

I think it was said somewhere it will take place between the original series and Enterprise. With totally new characters.

No they havent.

Patrick Stewart has said that he wont do any more Star Trek movies. He wants to concentrate on X-Men instead.

Keep in mind that I've spoken to Levar Burton, who informed me of the ST TNG's cast having interest in another film, so long as they KNOW for SURE that it's going to be the last one, and that they are sure to go out with a big bang. The only one of the cast that's expressed outright no interest in going back to ST is Patrick Stewart, whom I'm sure could be persuaded, as Levar smugly put it.

Are you saying there would finally be a problem with the warp core Levar Burton couldn't fix, and a major antimatter leakage would occur... :p

I read that somewhere too.

Blah, You stole their idea!!!!! :p

Levar Burton told ME they were working on a Reading Rainbow movie.

I saw an old ep of Conan with Patrick Stewart that aired after Nemesis and Stewart said that he'd be interested in more.

I thought the lady who did Diana Troy said she doesn't want to do another. I think it was on IGN. I'm pretty sure she said Star Trek should take a 10 year break

I'm not sure that another movie with the TNG cast is a good idea. I think that those characters have played themselves out. I wish they had gone out with a better movie than Nemesis, but unless the new movie were to be well written and "new", I'd say sod it. A new movie with a new cast I think would also be a mistake. Every Trek movie has come out after the characters had been on TV for years. There was a familiarity, and they had depth. That would be gone wih a new movie. I'd say that DS9 would get my vote for a movie, but they seemed to really end that series in a way which would be hard to bring it back.

I doubt a single one of them would turn down a hefty paycheck like that.

Yeah. Of all the series, DS9 pretty much had a solid ending. The only question I have is what happens to Capt. Sisko. IIRC, he left to go to the Prophets and said "I'll be back in a year or so"

I agree with people about Nemesis, really didn't care for that one much myself, but I must say that I LOVED Generations and Insurrection. I thought those were excellent movies, with a good story complemented by decent acting and special effects. I didn't like First Contact very much at all though, even some fans hail it as the best. :-/

I agree that the TNG cast seems a bit "burned out" now, but does anyone else agree that the two movies I mentioned were really pretty good?

Generations yes. Insurrection...eh. It's got its good points. The best of the TNG movies is without question First Contact.

Generations I liked, Insurrection I've only watched twice, and don't remember much of it at all. Nemesis made more of an impression on me. First Contact is also IMO either the best or second best Trek movie of all time, because I can't decide whether II was better. Stewart was at his best, further demonstrating he is the finest actor who ever played a role in Star Trek.

I heard they're going to use a new cast, and then if it does well base a TV show off of it.

I think this would be a really neat idea.

God, make it stop. I'd rather watch ANYTHING than more Star Trek!

I liked Enterprise quite a lot because it had many aspects that weren't very traditional Star Trek.

One individual thing to mention would be the special ops they carried with them during that one season. They were pretty badass bunch. Actually very realistic compared to anything you could find in scifi series - certainly more realistic compared to those fools (and foolish tactics) you generally have in Star Trek when fighting on ground as opposed to space.

This was especially refreshing for somebody who has a military training...

Are you talking about a Section 31 movie?

Generations was a well-made movie, but it was blah. So were Insurrection and Nemesis. First Contact, IMO, was the first real TNG movie.

I think a new TNG movie would be good, just as long as it goes out with a bang, with a solid script. I think TNG, the show, is one of the best examples of screenwriting there is. First Contact shows the same kind of great writing that some of the episodes had. Nemesis was really disappointing because it didn't have that kind of writing, even though John Logan (Gladiator, The Aviator) wrote it. I pretty much blame Stu Baird. Of course, since Braga and Berman have been behind a lot of other Trek flops, I could certainly find grounds to blame them, too.

A new cast wouldn't be a good idea. Star Trek movies only work if you've been through a lot of small screen adventures with the cast.

First contact, when looked at individually, looks like a great movie to kick off the rest of the Star Trek TNG movies. Only problem was, it didn't go anywhere.

[edit]
the series/tng movies that is[/edit]

A new cast would be a much better idea than going TNG angain. I mean, what else can they do? What kind of story would they have to come up with that would be original?

That and Brent Spiner is aging. Wouldn't really matter if he played a human(oid) character but since he played an immortal android, well a wrinkly, chubby "Data" just doesn't look right. Unless they take a page from GL and do a CG Data :/

A Section 31 movie would be so... bloody.. cool.. but no.

They're probably going to base it around a new ship and a new crew, not Section 31.

But...

*dreams*

That wouldnt really matter, since they killed off Data.

But they had the lame "B4" (gee wonder what that stands for) at the end of Nemesis starting to become like Data.

Personally I don't think we need to go through another Data evolution, once was funny but it's not something that needs to be redone. So if they do anything with the TNG crew, IMO it would best to center it around Riker's command.

I think the movie they're planning now though is supposed to take place in between Enterprise's time and Kirk's time. Not with either of the crews though.

When I spoke to Levar he said they already had many ways planned around that, similar to what tehy did in Search for Spock
