Meyer involved in Trek (1)4?!

[Gojira]

Until it's confirmed it's just a rumor. I have been a movie fan and Trek fan long enough to take rumors with a grain of salt.

Is his book The View From The Bridge worth a read?

It appears to be a Khan TV mini series set between SpaceSeed and TWOK (so like the Greg Cox novel and the IDW comic series)

More recently, Meyer has been involved as a writer on the new Star Trek series for CBS All Access, Star Trek Discovery. But according to two separate sources, Meyer is moving on from that position for a new Star Trek project, something he has hinted at in recent interviews. According to the sources, Meyer’s new project takes him back to Khan Noonien Singh, the “genetically superior” villain played by Ricardo Montalban in the original series episode “Space Seed” and in The Wrath of Khan, and by Benedict Cumberbatch in the J.J. Abrams-helmed Star Trek Into Darkness. Meyer will reportedly be developing a prequel miniseries, or limited series that would take place on Ceti Alpha V and chronicle Khan and his followers struggling to survive in the years between when Kirk dropped him off on the planet at the end of “Space Seed” and when the crew of the U.S.S. Reliant finds them early in The Wrath of Khan

I'd love a Trekverse 1990's Eugenics Wars prequel about the creation of Khan and his people and the war they fought and lost (starring Ben Cumberbatch!), but Ceti Alpha? Meh.

Yeah. Not sure how much mileage there is in this idea, given it was adequately summed up in a couple of lines of dialogue.

I've not read Greg Cox's book so I might be wrong.

I like Greg Cox' novel and the comic about Khans exile a lot but I have to say that I would prefer a Eugenic's Wars miniseries. I think the adventures of Khans Augments on Ceti Alpha V would be a bit too depressing with some equally depressing visuals at the end according to what we see (or what we are not able to see because of the sand storm) of the Planet in "The Wrath of Khan". But a Eugenic's Wars series could show a nice alternate reality of the 1990s.

I do my best not to be a hater about anything, but this sounds like a dumb idea I am actually going to say it...this isn't what Star Trek is about!

I feel dirty.

edit: the Khan miniseries idea in general, not @MFB's post above.

 

[Khan 2.0]

Would preferred it as a Khan movie - like "Ceti-Alpha Five: A Star Trek Story"

I concur - just doesn't seem like that's particularly interesting compared to what could be explored around the Eugenics wars.

 

[DaddlerTheDalek]

Khan exil miniseries could work, but I hope they would add some Eugenic Wars flashbacks.

 

[Captain of the USS Averof]

It's not the Star Trek Shared Universe™ show we need right now, and it's certainly not the one we deserve!

 

[KennyB]

I would much rather see Meyer working with Pegg on the script for 4 than a Khan anything..................

 

[PixelMagic]

If my info is correct, Meyer is not involved on a Khan series, nor Star Trek 4.

What's he up to then? Asking for a friend...............:-)

Can't say, my source wouldn't forgive me, and I'd get no more info in the future. My info may also not be 100% correct, so I don't want to mislead anyone. Also, I think a lot of Meyer's project hinges on the success or failure of Discovery. It may not come to pass if Discovery doesn't do well. There have been may Trek projects planned that never happened. Phase II, Starfleet Academy movie, The mid-2000s animated series, etc.

Oh yeah! I hope it is something juicy and progressive. I really think he'd be wasted revisiting Khan.........

Thanks!

Or a possible Discovery spin-off.

I think he was talking about a game.

Yeah, it's not bad. There's no dramatic revelations or the like in there, but he has some sharp insights on Trek and he has had interesting non-Trek work.
