New ‘Star Trek’ Movie in the Works at Paramount from ‘Andor’ Director
New ‘Star Trek’ Movie in the Works at Paramount from ‘Andor’ Director
The film will take place decades before J.J. Abrams' 2009 feature.
So I made this complaint over on the Star Trek community ... but others might have some different thoughts here.
Any Trek fans tired of the reboots / prequels (and yes, even hard sequels)? All Trek since Voyager has been either a prequel or a had sequel (Picard). From Enterprise, through the Kelvin films to SNW ... there hasn't been a new Trek without at least Spock or a member of the Soong family making an appearance.
The big exceptions being Lower Decks and Prodigy ... which are animations that are either targeting children or trying to be a comedy ... which says I think (and I like Lower Decks, don't get me wrong) all you need to hear about how risk-averse modern star trek productions are to trying something new (compared to the TNG era and of course TOS).
Most of Star Trek is [space] politics, and most of the people who own Star Trek don't care about [space] politics. They want a marketable good to become the DC to Star Wars' Marvel
Hopefully after they saw what Haynes could do with a non-Skywalker/Palpatine Star Wars show, they’ll let him make a non-Kirk/Picard/Spock Star Trek movie. I’m ready for that
Me too!
God yes. Not just with Trek but with everything. I am getting real sick of seeing so many origin stories for things I am already intimately familiar with. Like, I know these are for new fans but still. There are so fucking many! There should be a proportional amount of fan service stuff for us existing fans, ya know?
With Trek specifically, I just want to see the TNG/Voy/DS9 era styling. I don't necessarily want to see the same characters, but just have them referenced and still a part of the world's history. The occasional cameo. Lower Decks gets it. Lower Decks feels specifically made for people like me.
I read and reread “Abrams’ Bad Robot” as “Abrams’ bad reboot” several times before I got it right. I guess the mind sees what it wants to see.
Hm, so it's only the director of certain episodes. I misread this and thought it was Tony Gilroy for a moment - that would be really interesting!
