Exciting times on Facebook if you're really, really stupid.
News Exclusive: Scott Bakula Eyeing Star Trek Return In President Archer Series Pitch From ‘Enterprise’ Producer
To be fair, the brand has been struggling for some time. The faltering/cancelation statement is certainly true and a "course correction", as they say, is definitely needed. How that correction will actually manifest itself, however, remains to be seen and is currently in the purview of pure conjecture.
A lot of people seem to be hanging their hats on some kind of involvement by Shatner, which I doubt will be the case. He likes to stay active, and I've always been a big fan of the ShatMan, but deep involvement back into Trek might be a bit much for him these days. I could, of course, be 100% wrong about that, so
SDCC will hopefully provide some answers that will no doubt explode into more overdrive hair-on-fire conjecture. That, in-and-of itself, will be a reasonably decent source of entertainment while we wait for more Trek to be produced.
In any case, I wouldn't get too excited about Paramount producing anything of substance (outside what's already been made) for the 60th. Maybe some re-re-re-re-mastered BRD's of the movies.
Again.
At this point, I'd half-way expect OTOY to release something more meaningful before the year's end than Paramount for the 60th.

Somehow they’ve scooped all the major Hollywood media in announcing Kurtzman’s firing.
I want Trek to take like 5 years off and then relaunch with something new and fresh with an entirely new cast. If that doesn't happen, can Shatner just retire. The last thing Trek needs is a 95 year old being a part of it to reminisce of old times.
As for Bakula and trying to bring this thread back on topic, I think I would want him more in a recurring role, or a founding of a federation romulan movie. Having Section 31 being a streaming movie wasn't a bad idea, but the movie itself was horrible. Having a movie or miniseries (I have been watching BSG on Pluto a lot lately and kind of miss the idea of the mini series, but maybe they are still there only expanded) isnt a bad thing.

Crack is a helluva drug.
Video game?
Miniseries is roughly the same money spent for less content.
Lloyd's of London might take him on. He could afford it.
When I said ‘production,’ I meant something that Shatner would have to physically do. Other than providing a voiceover à la Takei in Lower Decks and Koenig in PIC, I don’t see Shat doing more than that. Even the recent commercial he was in was just a combination of him just sitting there and special effects for everything else.
Thanks a lot, Obama™!Who can afford Crack?! We’re down to huffing shit from a paper bag.
