Star Trek Beyond - Part 4

[Vaibow]

Just move on, new crew, ship... new adventures... it can really take a leaf out of old school Star Wars.. not the new trilogy.

This gorgeous ship is their home... the human stories ground us, as they encounter alien threats and civilizations... don't make a Star Trek film.. make a film set off earth.

Yeah it's really that simple.

The Next Generation was a new crew and a new enterprise, a new captain. The fans were unforgiving and hated this at first but they eventually grew to like it. It can work. It can be done.

The problem is Paramount executives might have trouble letting go of those original characters to do new stories. Not necessarily the new actors, but the Original Series characters themselves.

 

[DarkKnight88]

Like Star Wars, they want to go after the iconography rather than create new iconography (until Baby Yoda, I suppose).

The Next Generation was the last that the general public really embraced and recognize as Star Trek (not a debate about quality with the subsequent series, but they are not well known to the general public).

Maybe they can create a new set of characters and ships that takes hold as the first two series did, but Star Trek hasn't created a new iconic character to the general public since, what, the Borg?

They did embrace it eventually, but is it not true that fans were like F-U to the Next Generation cast at first? They had to give it a chance.

So true. Everyone knows the pop culture Star Trek, basically due to reruns and nostalgia.

For me I grew up with ST:TNG, the tv series was good, the movies I got kinda bored with, at times it felt slow and stiff with not enough action or relatable characters for the younger audience, but it was the ship, the landscapes... it was cool.

I feel the uniform needs to be updated, anything that looks like an updated version still looks like a parody... they really need to hire someone with pedigree and make uniforms that are unique, and not cliche futuristic.

The ship should be background... the facilities inside, like a home, office... exploring strange new worlds, the cultures... that's the plot..

Imagine they come to a distress call, see a planet under threat from a death star type scenario and have to get people out as quickly as possible... or negotiate...

They can take over Star Wars for sure.

Exclusive: ‘Wrath Of Khan’ Director Nicholas Meyer Has Pitched A New Star Trek Movie To Paramount

My partner Steven-Charles Jaffe and I wrote a whole treatment and plan for a Star Trek feature film. We didn’t write a whole script. We wrote a very detailed treatment and a whole pitch doc with illustrations. It’s very comprehensive thing. And we first we took it to Alex Kurtzman, then we took it to J.J. [Abrams], and then we took it to Emma Watts at Paramount.

It was a detailed proposal for what could have been a film, or it could have been a series, or it could have been a film leading to a series or a series leading to a film… It could be a series of films. Yeah, absolutely.

This was an independent piece of the Star Trek universe based on holes in the chronology, which would allow for the insertion of original material.

According to Meyer, this pitch was in the last year. As of now, he has not heard back from Paramount but has not given up hope in the idea.

 

[Dark Raven]

Not hearing back can only mean one of two things: either he's not going to hear back at all or he's going to hear back eventually.

‘Star Trek’ Film To Be Directed By WandaVision’s Matt Shakman – Deadline

Good choice if it actually materializes.

 

[Warmaster506]

Hopefully whatever comes out is good. I'm not one of those old school gatekeeping Trek fans that hate everything new Trek.

 

[DarkKnight88]

At this point I’m even more interested in a book about the more recent unmade Trek films by Tarantino and Noah Hawley.

‘Star Trek’ Film To Be Directed By WandaVision’s Matt Shakman – Deadline

We'll see. He's only the latest in a line of multiple directors that have already been attached.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Hopefully this one happens and hopefully Pine, etc are brought back, those previous 3 movies were really good.

I hope the cast returns as well. I love the new films.

 

[Micromind]

Viacom's (who owned Paramount Studios) merger with CBS in 2019 has resulted in Studio showing some renewed interest in Star Trek movie.

Hopefully, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana and Simon Pegg return too.

 

[Drizzle]

I'd watch another Kelvin universe Trek movie for sure. It's still just a sad reminder that Anton Yelchin is gone.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

The Kelvin trilogy is damn under rated for me.

[Doctor Jones]

Who is the director? I've lost track.

 

[Sawyer]

Who is the director? I've lost track.

Matt Shakman. Currently, anyway.

Star Trek: Chris Pine Returning for 2023 Movie – The Hollywood Reporter

 

[DyeLorean]

This one sounds more certain than all the previous attempts.

 

[Sawyer]

This one sounds more certain than all the previous attempts.

Yeah. The QT project and Noah Hawley attempt were both pretty hypothetical. Neither actually got close enough to have the returning cast lined up.

 

[Sawyer]

Got my fingers crossed they revert back to the uniforms of the first two films. I really enjoyed Beyond, but those uniforms were a downgrade.

 

[Warmaster506]

Would like them to make a film that pisses off the gate keepers.

 

[DarkKnight88]

They already did lol

 

[DaddlerTheDalek]

Just do it!
