Would this streaming movie format be a way to do something like the [Picard season 3 follow-up] Star Trek: Legacy concept?
Alex Kurtzman: Sure
A Legacy movie sounds intriguing.
Seven has never been in a Trek movie (she's been in two series, but never a movie).
This may be too difficult to answer, but are all the big decisions being held off until Skydance takes over [expected some time around mid-2025]? And have you had any early discussions with any of the Skydance people to talk about the future of the franchise?
Alex Kurtzman: We haven’t. I have huge respect for [Skydance CEO and incoming Paramount chairman and CEO] David [Ellison] and for Skydance. We haven’t had any conversations because they haven’t engaged yet with the company. But here’s what I do know: I know that David Ellison is a huge, huge fan of Star Trek. He was one of the producers on the films that we made, and he loves it. He loves it a lot. So I’m sure those conversations will happen eventually.
Right now our focus is on Strange New Worlds, which is about to start [production on season 4], and we’re two weeks out from wrapping [production] on season 1 of Starfleet Academy. And man, making those shows is such a full contact sport that I’ll be honest with you, we’ve got more than enough on our plate right now. I think the minute we start doing too much, the quality of the show suffers, and our job is to protect from that.
I find Kurtzman's candor refreshing (When I worked on the "Birds of Prey on DVD" campaign, it was radio silence from Warner Bros. until the DVD was officially announced.
