News Exclusive: Scott Bakula Eyeing Star Trek Return In President Archer Series Pitch From ‘Enterprise’ Producer

And for reference, ST’09 was produced by Spyglass Entertainment, not Skydance.

Or was it Spydance? Skyglass?

 

[Quinton]

Skydance produced Into Darkness and Beyond. They’ll likely be involved in the next Kelvin film too.

I think Dukhat was saying that he doesn’t believe a fourth Kelvin film will be made at all.

an ENT reunion to give them the sendoff they never got.

Demons/Terra Prime was their sendoff, and quite a satisfactory one at that.

 

[Dukhat]

I think Dukhat was saying that he doesn’t believe a fourth Kelvin film will be made at all.

There is no longer any point in making another film set in that universe, in my opinion. The whole idea behind those movies was to tell stories that wouldn’t conflict with established continuity. Well, that ship has sailed.

Not to mention that we now have three versions of the TOS characters: TOS itself, the Kelvin Timeline, and SNW. Making another movie with the KT cast would be needlessly convoluted. They could possibly reboot yet again for a third time, but will a casual moviegoing audience still care about the next new Kirk, Spock and whatever design they come up with for the next 1701? Yeah, I get that we’re now on our 4th theatrical Superman and the film’s doing great, but Star Trek isn’t Superman.

Making a new Star Trek film is hard. I don’t envy Skydance.

It's weird to think about how the TOS movies were released over the course of twelve years, and the three Kelvin movies have already surpassed that stretch, having started sixteen years ago.
