News? Stories from Dubious Sources

Yet we’re discussing them…

More like ridiculing.

I'd never heard of them before I found and shared the link.

Tachyon Pulse wants Trek to just endlessly replay its Greatest Hits (That's not the way to stay relevant.)

Comfort food viewing: the next generation.

 

[F. King Daniel]

Just saw this too. Oy. If much of this ends up being true, it'll be a pretty lousy 60th anniversary announcement as far as I'm concerned.

Some quotes from the above article from the reliably-dubious Cosmic Book News quoting the Tachyon Pulse Podcast:

Acknowledging that Simon Kinberg's involvement with future movies was previously confirmed by Variety, and a Star Trek origin movie is genuinely in development (or at least was recently)... Man, if this is the best fantasy someone can come up with for the future or Star Trek (whether it's a fan making it up or genuinely someone on the inside), I just don't know what to say to that.

I guess have fun with the yet-another-TOS-prequel trilogy from the screenwriter of X-Men: The Last Stand, Fant4stic, and Dark Phoenix. I'll personally be dreading it if it becomes the official plan.

This reads like desperate bollocks from a Facebook group. If anything, it'll be a full-on reboot ignoring everything they don't want, not just Kurtzman's specific bits of canon. Nobody but sad fanboys think like that.

Yeah, sure. If a dubious source reports something’s going to happen that fulfills the loudly-expressed desires of Internet/YouTube trolls in detail, that’s pretty much a guarantee it can be ignored.

Are we casting aspersions on the journalistic integrity of......*checks notes*... "Tachyon Pulse?

Yes. Yes we are.

 

[The Wormhole]

Somehow, I've never heard of Tachyon Pulse before. Doesn't look like I was missing out on anything either.

Tachyon Pulse f.k.a. SciTrek

The same people are behind both channels.

 

[Firebird]

Sounds like yet another installment in "I made it the fuck up" history.

 

[Alexander Corrino]

This entire thing reeks of "we have to fuel the hate again because we need clicks, quick, what made-up thing-that-will-never-happen and that will supposedly erase Kurtzman Trek forever can we come up with this week?"

What?! Who would ever do such a thing? I can’t even imagine it.

While Deadline is far more reliable than our usual sources for this thread, at this point I assume we consider any news claiming a new Trek movie being made to be "dubious" to some extent.

New ‘Star Trek’ Movie In Works At Paramount From Jonathan Goldstein & John Francis Daley

Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley plan to write, direct and produce a new 'Star Trek' movie.

deadline.com

Incidentally, no mention of Kinberg, so it's unclear if he's still a producer.

Daley’s film is a completely new take on the Star Trek universe and not connected to any previous or current television series, movie or prior movie development projects.

Don't know if that means it's in the same continuity but just not strongly connected or if this we're going full multiple ongoing unrelated continuities. Trades tend not to be too interested in this distinction and often phrase things in a way that's (probably unintentionally) misleading to those more invested in this question.

My bet is, despite the claims above, they're extending the Star Trek Scouts continuity.

Edit: Adding links to the other two major Hollywood trades:

New ‘Star Trek’ Movie in the Works From ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ Duo Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley

Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, the team behind 'Dungeons & Dragons,' will write, produce and direct a new 'Star Trek' movie

I presume it means a new ship, a new crew, and a different century, not "Spock and Kirk and Klingons and Starfleet don't and have never existed".

 

[F. King Daniel]

I reckon it'll be another TOS movie, but separate from EVERYTHING before, a full-on reboot. Unless it's more Paramount BS to get investors to invest... which failed the last three or four times.

The "source" in question being the site's source, not the site itself.

 

[FredH]

If I were going to speculate, I’d expect “new version of Kirk & Spock & such”; but of course it could be anything. It strikes me as the easiest way to go, for them to follow the Batman/Spider-Man route and just hit the reset button again.
