Is a DS9 film possible? {TV or Big Screen}

Oh for heaven's sake, this could actually work as a movie by hybridizing the casts.

Let's see: the Enterprise E if seen would only involve Picard, Geordi, Worf, and Beverly. Of these, only Picard and Worf need show up on screen, since the bridge staff has changed so much. Give the other two a cameo.

Mr. and Mrs. Troi, I mean Riker ;) could show up in their new ship, but they could equally be mentioned as being too far away.

We know the crew of DS9 is quite limited with Ezri, Nog, Kira, Quark, and Bashir staying behind. Quark could have moved to Ferenginar. So, I say only have Ezri, Kira, Bashir, and Nog show onscreen.

Ben is in the Wormhole, Jake and Kassidy are likely on Bajor, and the Chief is on Earth. Odo is in the GQ. Garak is on Cardassia Prime. Of these only Odo need show up.

Not all of these need to show up.

So, how about this: Odo comes through the wormhole pleading for help. The Dominion has been attacked by the Borg and is losing. This would be a good place to insert Seven of Nine as Starfleet Tactical Specialist on the Borg. The Doctor could come along as well. Insert planning session. Send a taskforce into the GQ to do reconnaissance with Worf commanding the Defiant (since it has a cloaking device). The Alliance Fleet led by the E-E gathers @ DS9 and, as they prepare to enter the Wormhole, the Defiant comes racing through followed by a Borg Taskforce from the Wormhole. Battle ensues, giving fans what they really want, a big ol' shoot'em up between DS9 and a Borg armada...yada, yada, yada, they are beaten back, but DS9 is heavily damaged. The Defiant or the E-E is destroyed in the battle. The Fleet enters the GQ, and Ben appears for the final battle. Insert Deus Ex Machina ending with Ben using Prophet Powers (of course) to defeat the Borg. The Founders join the Federation. The end.

The Borg against the Dominion has been speculated about a lot around here before. Fun discussions too. Lets make a movie!! :thumbsup:
 
Endings give stories meaning. It's fine the way it is.
 
Someone mentioned TPTB interested in 20-somethings...

Um, actually that's not entirely true...

Films {and television} today tend to go on 'beautiful people'{or what we may think as beautiful}...explosions...sex...etc...

The new Doctor Who seems to have gotten more 'hip' with the storylines and effects, yet still managed to stay within continuity...and appeal to those who never watched Doctor Who before.

If an ambitious producer came along with some good ideas for DS9 to appeal to the non-Trekkies, it might work.
