It's all been very quiet. I suspect this film, like all the other attempts to make a movie post-Beyond, isn't happening.

Hollywood accounting: a tale as old as the artform of cinema itself.
Good. Because the whole premise sounded utterly stupid.
Maybe nobody is interested in another prequel anymore, not even the film makers.
We've already had Enterprise.
If its not the Romulan War or a Kelvinverse crossover and it does not retcon Trip's death, no one really cares for an ENT theatrical movie. Even if it was really good.We've already had Enterprise.
Certainly not enough to make a movie out of it that will draw viewers and money.
Did anyone ever? As good as season 4 of enterprise was, the series kept bleeding audience and it ended up being the least followed of the post TNG era.
As per the romulan wars, even a lot of long time fans don’t know what those were and many that do (such as myself) don’t particularly care about exploring that period in detail.

Trip, but less so the Romulan War. I already know what happened at the end of it and I think that time has passed.
Worth remembering that before people saw Mount in Discovery, "nobody" cared about Pike or the adventures before Kirk, let alone wanted a series based on a one-off pilot.
Generalisations seem to happen often among Trek fans, especially "nobody wants this show", which is my absolute favourite of course.
Yeah, I grow tired of the generalizations too. "Nobody cares about X Character!"
Me:
But, then, I'm the weird guy who tears up when Tomlinson dies at the end of Balance Of Terror, or when other minor Trek characters die. I have always liked Pike since I saw the Cage on VHS. I don't care about Enterprise characters for the most part, but would welcome some interest in the Romulan War.
Oh, I’m sure some fans care, the question was if it would be profitable making such a movie. As I said long ago, I’m virtually certain that the next Star Trek to be seen in the cinemas will be yet another reboot/prequel with Kirk and Spock, as it’s the most commercial stuff they can make.
I know of many people who say that ST 2009 was their intro to Trek, and they're now Trekkies.
Same with DISCO.
I just think ENT deserved a better end and an end without Trip's senseless death.
Demons/Terra Prime is a suitable ending to Enterprise for those who wish to ignore TATV.
I view Demons/Terra Prime as the actual Enterprise series finale.
TATV is like an anime OVA episode released after the season is over, usually an alternate timeline or a weird one-off slotted somewhere earlier in the season, that's treated like soft canon but still gets placed after the finale on the blu-ray. That's the only way I can take the bitterness off the TATV pill.
Yes. Everyone has a starting point.
The people in your anecdote were obviously not amongst those that lost interest and drifted away.
Except it’s not a generalization, it’s a fact. Nobody wanted any of the 10-11 shows that spun off from TOS. It’s not a measure of how good or bad they are. It’s simply that the producers of those shows did not ask the general public if their show idea was something anyone wanted before they decided to produce it.
