Ace 0 Posted July 11, 2004 My apologies if someone has already posted this. From TrekToday: By CaillanJuly 9, 2004 - 2:18 AM The Romulan Wars are tipped to be the subject of the next Star Trek feature film. Enterprise executive producer Brannon Braga reportedly told the Star Trek Communicator that the series may not be able to feature the Romulan Wars because of a possible clash with the upcoming movie. "It's certainly one of the things that we've been discussing," Braga reportedly said. "But there's also a prequel feature in development regarding the Romulan Wars, so we might have to stay away from that." In the same magazine, franchise head honcho Rick Berman said Trek XI would be set before the time of Kirk, but would not be connected with Enterprise. The first sighting of the Romulans came in the second-season episode, "Minefield", in which the NX-01 inadvertantly strayed into Romulan territory. According to established Star Trek lore, the Romulan Neutral Zone was established in 2160 after a long war between Earth and the Romulans. With "Zero Hour" taking place in 2154, the Romulan Wars could conceivably take place during Enterprise's run. Braga also discussed the storylines in development for Enterprise's fourth season, including the return of the Temporal Cold War. "One thing we're discussing is possibly blowing the lid off the Temporal Cold War once and for all," he reportedly said. "That's probably something we'll do in this first storyline. I can't say that for sure, because we're just getting into it. But I'd really like to resolve that and put a cap on it. It would be a nice thing to do after three seasons of teasing it along." The foundation of the Federation could also start to figure heavily in the series. "There are going to be some major interstellar events and conflicts happening that could involve the forming of the federation. We're going to see more of what's going on back at Earth. We might see something dealing with the Eugenics Wars." To read the complete interviews with Rick Berman and Brannon Braga, pick up the latest issue of the Star Trek Communicator.

master_q 0 Posted July 20, 2004 MORE... "Inside Move: Set phasers on stunned" Sun Jul 18, 5:16 AM ET Dave McNary, STAFF Is "Star Trek" out of gas -- or dilithium crystals, as the "Trek" faithful would say? The bigscreen "Star Trek: Nemesis" stumbled two years ago. UPN recently banished the fourth season of low-rated "Star Trek: Enterprise" to Friday nights. And despite a suddenly hot theatrical market for docs, Paramount is relegating "Trekkies 2," Roger Nygard's follow-up to his 1997 pic about Trek fans, directly to DVD on Aug. 31. Now, Par seems to be timidly going where no "Trek" has gone in a long time: back to the drawing board. Longtime "Trek" producers Rick Berman and Brannon Braga are teamed with Jordan Kerner and Kerry McCluggage to develop a project set at the Star Fleet Academy, prior to the time periods in the five different series that have aired since 1966. For a studio that's unafraid to remake films in its vault and reinvent TV shows as movies, Par is being surprisingly cautious about hopes for an 11th feature film. A new installment isn't on the horizon anytime soon. Par wants a "re-imagining" of the concept, meaning there won't be any of the characters that peopled the TV shows and movies. It hasn't yet hired a writer. The "Trek" pics were a reliable staple for better than two decades, with a domestic cume of $760 million and foreign at just over $300 million. The fourth pic topped $100 million domestically in 1986 and seven others cleared $70 million. The studio was taken aback in 2002 when "Nemesis" saw domestic grosses of $43 million and foreign of $23 million, by far the worst B.O. performer in the series. In an era where $200 million is now the benchmark of success and with Paramount espousing a "swing for the fences" mantra, another "Trek" movie may not arrive before Halley's Comet returns. --Yahoo! ~ Click Here Master Q StarTrek_Master_Q@yahoo.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
