New Star Trek movie?

Yep. Looks like Paramount is currently looking at a new Star Trek movie.

The IMDB reports that Rick Berman and Brannon Braga are working on an untitled prequel to Star Trek. It's a prequel to Star Trek:The Original Series, but happens after Enterprise.

It's also possibly set in Starfleet Academy during a war with the Romulans.

I must stress however, that the movie has been announced, but the details I have above are rumours. It is also possible that the movie will be cancelled before release.

Could be good though.

Could be interesting, lets see if it ever gets off the ground.

Bah!The latest ST prequel series Enterprise is struggling to survive so I can't see how they can do prequel film.

I wouldn't mind one that shows the situation AFTER DS9 or Voyager gets home.But prequels are such a bum idea.Lets go forward not back as it plays merry hell with continuity.

Incog.

I remember there was talk of a series like this, just before they commissioned Voyager - as was said in one of the other threads, I think it's time Star Trek took a rest, one more duff outing and I think that will be it.

Personally i don't like the sound of it, I hate prequels.

Why not?

If you don't like them, don't watch them.

I think it's a distinct possiblity that - rather than a proper feature film - the star trek franchise will go down the alien nation route and start doing tv movies after next years Enterprise run (Which I don't think will last more than a half season anyway)

I think Enterprise started to get quite good in the last series....of course far FAR too late.
The franchise should go forward......Voyager was class.....another new concept would be nice

I did think Enterprise got good in the last season (right up untill the last 2 mins - which i won't spoil for those terrestrial viewers still to see it)

The latest news is that this new cliff hanger will take 3 or 4 episodes to pan out.... After this there could well be a couple of mini arcs - then they will switch to single episodes again (at which point upn will decide weather or not to keep the show on the air) it's also worth remembering that the show has been switched to a Friday night in america (Which killed the original series)

The trouble I have with another concept is that you will just end up telling the same story over and over again (Which you do already really)....

As long as it's done right I think TV movies could be the way to go for a bit.
