Should Paramount put a mid-budget Star Trek film into theaters?

Looks pretty good to me for film with an $85M budget.
Yep.
This from the person that gave us this gem.

I don't really get it, and I think even if you tried to explain it to me, I still wouldn't get it. But never change, @Richard S. Ta.
If everyone has it all figured out I trust proposals to Paramount are being submitted?
You've yet to produce an example of a film fitting this "factual" definition of "mid-budget."
Guess you'd like to change your "facts" now?
Guess we'll have to see if it makes back its money, won't we?
Funny how no-one is saying you’re right, everyone is saying you’re wrong, but still you’re right?
That’s some logic right there.
I love how users on here think you can just submit scripts to Paramount like it’s a friendly greeting to their buddy. Instead of realizing that Paramount has a process that’s very much business minded.
More if people are so certain in their proposal why not take it to Paramount? Money were the mouth is type thing.
What did I just say about sticking more closely to the topic?
That means talk about the topic, and don't take smug swipes at other posters. Everyone else seems to have received that message, but you thought "I'm special, so I'll just get in one more shot"?
Uh-uh. "Stop it" means everyone stop it now.
Yes. Especially if they have a good script. Gimme a new Star Trek movie!
They could churn out a new trilogy, if they wanted. They just don’t seem to want to.
The silver lining is, they might put some thought into a Kelvin trilogy if they ever decide to continue.
In a world where a film featuring 2 versions of Batman can tank completely, I don't think theatrical Star Trek is smart at this time
"No-budget Star Trek" essentially describes what most fan films have been.
We've got a forum for that: https://www.trekbbs.com/forums/fan-productions.32/
If you really wanted a 'mid-budget' Trek movie in the current environment, here's how I'd go about it:
Contract with the SNW cast to shoot a movie in the off season.
Use the SNW sets, costumes, and props.
Have someone write a movie-worthy script.
Film it and have the same FX company that does the TV show do the FX work- keep the look and feel consistent with the show.
Lastly, hype the shit out of it. Marketing! It would get interested newcomers to go back and watch the seasons of the show already produced, put asses in theater seats at a balanced cost-profit ratio, and hopefully convince some new fans to watch the TV show going forward.
Side benefit: you keep it in the same 'verse and nip all the howling about canon and continuity right in the bud.

You could even do a TOS-era movie, they already have half of the cast.
