The article did show up a little while ago on this site but quite frankly this is B.S.

Yeah, there are some holes in that plot. Doesn't sound real.

Jack posted this thread regarding Star Trek: The Beginning in August in the Movie forum. This is the last news we have had on a new movie.

I don't think the TNG cast, at least not most of them, want to do more movies. I also don't think a prequel is going to fly... look what happened to ENT. Prequels worked wonders in the Star Wars universe, but with Star Trek, it seems people in general want to see what comes next, not what came before, regardless of what specific fans may feel about it. I never watched ENT, so I'm of no opinion one way or the other on the subject. However, I'd prefer a DS9 or Voyager movie, specifically one with a mixed TNG/DS9/VOY crew, to anything taking place in "Starfleet History".

 

Actually I think they'll stop at 10. Ten is a good rounded number for a series. If they did a XI the fans would really want a XII, considering the "even/odd rule" (which I disagree with, but that's beside the point), and the next good rounded number after 10 is 20, and that's a commitment they're probably not willing to make... and anything between 11 and 19 will seem like an "odd" stopping point.

 

Another option is to restart the count, somehow call it something else so it's not a "Star Trek XI" but like a "Star Trek xxxxxx" followed by a "Star Trek xxxxxx II" so there can be no confusion. Maybe a trilogy based around a specific point, such as the Borg.

 

And then there's the issue with numbers. How much did the last few Trek films make at the box office? Let's face it, the Star Trek name isn't pulling people into theaters by the busload. What they need is to wait a few years (at least 5-10) and then come out with something that is still Star Trek, but that calls non-Trekkies to the theater, something which will draw in new fans. That's the challenge which lies before the Trek producers, not "Star Trek XI".

Numbering Officially stopped at ST 6, no movie from Generations on has a number stamped on the package.

 

Direct to Video releases could be a good place to restart the count, with Volume Numbers and/or perhaps Stardates to place the release chronologically if they were inclined to do stories anywhere along the timeline.

Right now I don't they should have a movie for awhile. Maybe in five years. It should not be from the cast TNG.

They're no officially numbered when they are released but every movie typically has Star Trek (Number) as its working title until they are named. Until Nemesis was Nemesis it was Star Trek X.

 

I really hope they don't go direct to video. I don't know if there has ever been a good movie made that went direct to video. I honestly think that would cheapen the Star Trek franchise, same as an animated series.

I don't consider production numbers to be official titles; only 1-6 have a number in the title, the rest are GEN, FC, INS & NEM.

A lot of the cast of TNG has come out recently and has said that they would do another TNG movie if they were asked, but it's not going to happen. ENT being a prequel had nothing to do with it's cancellation. Fans have praised season three and four, so it has nothing to do with quality. A lot of fans were tired of having to watch Star Trek every week for 18 years with only summer breaks. That's what killed ENT, not because it was a prequel

I'm sure that is true from those whose entire career is now appearing at cons....*coughs*..Sirtis,McFadden,Wheaton,Dorn...........

@Kor37 - Maybe the others, but Wheaton wasn't in any of the Trek films, not as far as I can recall, at least. Matter of fact I thought I heard that he didn't like attention he had gotten as a result of his character on TNG and was trying to make a name for himself outside of Trek. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

 

I didn't mean to imply that "being a prequel" killed ENT... it just didn't help it much either. Outside the fanbase it wasn't exactly appreciated.

 

True that the TNG movies haven't had numbers, but since the first six were numbered, I always continued the numbering. It's the exact same with the Grand Theft Auto game franchise. The first three games are numbered, then they stop with the numbering and just go to names... but I refer to Vice City as GTA 4 and San Andreas as GTA 5... by all rights, they're the fourth and fifth games, though some argue that they're merely expansions to GTA 3. That may or may not be true, but the TNG Trek films are certainly not extensions to ST6 by any means, they're actually more individual than all the Trek films, which were pretty much all tied together.

My hope, which I'm sure will never be realized would be for 1 of 2 things. A DS9 movie or an Enterprise movie that takes us through the formation of the Federation. Aside from that I think anything else would just be a movie for the sake of making a movie.

[Stephen of Borg 2]

exactly, I just hope the Beginning is truly that. I wish we'd see some ENT characters, at least one, in the next film since it takes place just a few years afterwards.

 

I wouldn't mind a DS9 movie, it would naturally be next after TNG. TOS, TNG and now DS9. Makes sense to me
