Or, "set decades before" could be a sneaky way of saying it's a Kelvin time travel film.
Another movie that will never get made is announced!

That was pretty much what Discovery Season 1 was.
Opening up a new set of stories around, say, the start of the 23rd century would give Scott Bakula and Jolene Blalock a chance to return and tie up the loose ends of Enterprise, maybe finally do something with the Temporal Cold War. Too late for Romulans, too soon for Klingons...completely new ground to write any action-packed FX-heavy sci-fi story you want, with any ship and crew you can dream up, and slap the Star Trek name on it.
For the second or third time actually.
This prequel fixation is inexplicable. It’s basically prequel-ception at this point.
Not really.
It makes money. No further explanation needed.
Oh hell no.
For Trek it made money once in 2009. ENT was a failure by any measure and DSC abandoned the prequel premise as soon as it could.
Edited to add: SNW seems to be working but we have no way of knowing how well and honestly if they want a prequel feature maybe just make a movie with that cast. It can be Pike’s tragic end.
They’re going to keep doing prequel after prequel, going further back in the timeline until they just remake Apollo 13
Aren’t you usually on the “we need to have something new” train?
One, my opinion here will not sway the people actually making these decisions.
Two, if Abrams is producing then it at least has my interest piqued enough to consider watching.
Third, Apollo missions and such got me interested in space travel in the first place.
Finally, I'm getting two new things I want: Section 31 and Starfleet Academy.
I know prequels are money right now so them taking that route bothers me very little.
People are going to treat this poorly no matter what. I'm going to be optimistic.
As much as I adore Enterprise and its cast, the chances of seeing them on any kinda big screen adventure are approximately zero. Anything beyond an occasional reference or easter egg, is a pipe dream. Nevermind that Blalock doesn't really act anymore
Ok, that’s all cool but I guess I’m just not on the “prequels are money” train with you. I think the best thing we can say is that they are gamble that sometimes pays off. I’m skeptical but I certainly hope it’s good and will go see it if they make it. I’m not sure continuously going backward in the Trek timeline is a smart financial or creative decision but I’m not the a writer or producer, so…
The sad thing is, this could potentially be interesting. Seth Grahame-Smith is a pretty good writer, at least in prose. The novel version of Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter and its sequel The Last American Vampire are awesome. And though not as good as the book, the movie version of Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter was pretty damn good itself. I want to see what he can do with Star Trek and having someone from Andor involved is also intriguing.
But I'm not holding my breath on this at all. As much as I hate to say it, that Picard movie announced last week has a better chance of getting made than this does.

I have no idea if it's smart. Nor do I care. It's their money to burn.
I just know the popular Trek shows are looking backwards so they'll grab on to that.
I don't have to agree to understand.
I'm going to be more of an optimist and say both get made. I think they knew they needed some kind of Star Trek Cinematic movie plan that doesn't suffer from the issues planning ST4.
I'm very curious about what it would be about.
I wanna be excited i really do but like Star Wars, Star Trek has had a hard time delivering on their "promises" regarding films. both franchises need to get their acts together.
Toby Haynes directed the Black Mirror episode "USS Callisto" and is a big fan of TOS

Other than directing half of Andor as mentioned, he also directed several Doctor Who episodes and Shelock.
However, being a fan isn’t always a good thing. Nemesis showed us that
