TNG/DS9/Voy Finale Movie

[Voth commando1]

Hey I don't know if this true or just rumour but is it so that had the last TNG movies been more successful there was an idea for a cross show finale movie from all the shows set in the 24th century?

Cause if that's true it would have been awesome.

 

[The Old Mixer]

That's what I've heard, but this seems like a candidate for the Trek Movies forum, so...energizing....

 

[Voth commando1]

So is their a source for this, any sort of plotlines.

Brent Spiner mentioned it once. His idea for a follow-up to Nemesis was to have brought all the crews (or at least, all the characters whose actors were living and willing) together using time travel (including beaming Data off the Scimitar a second before it's destruction) to face a group of villains.

That's all we know.

Seems like a marvelous idea and would have tied into(presumably) ENT's Temporal Cold War plotline. Seems like a great send off.

 

[Relayer1]

I would still like a miniseries.

Start off with Enterprise finding 'something' and barely escaping, fast forward to the 24th century and Starfleet encounters it again. Sealed records reveal the Enterprise logs and also a TOS or movie era encounter told in flashback using old film and CGI.

A multi-crew team from the 24thC. shows comes together to resolve the problem...

That sounds dreadful. Haha

I'm pretty sure Spiner was just being idealistic. The logistics of such a movie would be a nightmare. Even if some of the actors from the various series didn't participate, that's still like at least 30 different people to keep track of. That's insane.

 

[Voth commando1]

In terms of main cast let show is at least five people each, guest actors, antagonists, and any less notables it would have been a tremendous project.

 

[Sophie74656]

I think a lot of fans would like this, but it's not going to happen

The idea is terrible as a movie and wonderful as a mini-series.
First, I'd leave dead or "lost" characters out -- no Sisko, Data, Kes, Tasha, Neelix, Jadzia......
Next, not too much redundancy -- they could barely find anything for Crusher to do in the TNG movies so how many Doctors/engineers would they need?
A "impossible mission force," would be best. Best fighters Worf, Tuvok, Kira...best pilots Paris, Nog....best engineers Geordi, O'Brien....a doctor Bashir or Picardo..... best leaders Riker, Kira...... spies Garak, Odo....

A mini-series format could give us some time with people who wouldn't be on the mission -- whereas they would make a movie bloated.
Using the DS9 station as a jumping off point would be a way of giving us a chance for cameos by Leeta, Rom, Keiko, Jake, etc.
Also the mini-series format might entice some of the 'cast directors" to participate even if their acting parts were rather small -- Frakes, Burton, Dawson, MacNeil, etc.

Lastly, as in any "Magnificent Seven" type story -- many/most of the cast should die. That would give a sense of both high stakes and closure.

And it all should have happened in say 2006 or 2007 -- the 40th or 20th anniversary of the franchise (or the spinoffs.) Most of the cast are now way too old pull it off.

And time travel

...so....not a battle to the death between crews then? Rats.

...I'd have written it so that Janeway won just to bathe in the e-rage it would cause.

 

[F. King Daniel]

Janeway is about to kill Picard when it turns out their mothers have the same first name and then suddenly they're BFFs and conquer the baddies.

 

[David B]

Interesting that Brent Spiner would say that, since I believe it was his idea to kill off Data?

I agree, it'$ unu$ual he changed hi$ mind like that all of a $udden. I wonder what factor$ went into hi$ deci$ion?

I think that he misses his friends
What else could it be?

 

[Voth commando1]

So how do you think such a movie could succeed? Would the combined cast have the chemistry? Would the plot work with such a lot amount of actors?

 

[Finn]

They wouldn't use entire casts. Wang is out....

Dorn and Meaney can be used to meet the goal of having actors from both TNG and DS9

 

[Green]

Forget Chakotay, Kim, Neelix, Kes, Jadzia, Sisko, Jake, Ezri, Tasha, Data..........

That's 10 regulars who you've eliminated.
Then eliminate 7 or 8 more either for the story or the actor is not interested and you have a manageable number. Then add in some of the best surviving supporting actors -- Garak, Martok, Nog, etc

...and it is feasible. Or was.
