News The ongoing next Star Trek movie thread

... before this conversation devolves into a contest to see who’s better at being condescending.

I'm afraid we're already too late for that.

Dropping it now sounds like a nice idea, though.

There is nothing remotely true about this statement.

*Looks at Discovery and SNW

*Looks at TOS

Your statement is objectively false.

Because clearly none of this looks at all like classic Star Trek.

And of course, the newer shows have avoided connecting with the shows that came before and even honoring minute continuity details like Pike needing to be a Fleet Captain when it meets a certain someone.

Nevermind that set decoration is clearly of little concern. They certainly wouldn't bother to display ships from the past or bother to finally make canon a decades old design.....

Hell, I know know they wouldn't partly base an entire episode on a flag from 20 years ago....

Yep.... definitely objectively false...

While we're at it, why don't we leave arguments concerning shows not part of the Abramsverse / Kelvin Timeline to be conducted in the forums provided for that purpose?*

i.e., not here

Thank you for saving me the effort of having to post the pictures and proving my point exactly.

It looks... close to classic Star Trek. It does not look like classic Star Trek. That's why I used the word "objectively".

Understood. Got my last word in, i'm good to drop it now.

How extraordinarily pedantic.

There, got my last word in.

Star Trek Beyond actually visualized something I've always argued about: the nacelle placement of Enterprise is tactically completely disadvantageous.

Amusingly, Ryan Church had that in mind when he rebooted the Enterprise in 2009 and they actually had to thin the nacelles (and neck) out for Beyond

After SNW, I don't think there are many genuine opportunities for prequels anyway. A lost era show could be the final chance of something set earlier, but it's such a wide gap that the term prequel may not necessarily apply.

The new "present" of the Star Trek universe is the 31st century. Any new Trek show or movie set before that time is a "prequel".

It doesn't quite feel that way to me. But eventually, maybe, it will. The 32nd century has still got that "far future" shine to it, but give me time.

Besides, after SNW, the chances of another new Trek show isn't exactly guaranteed. Expected, but definitely not guaranteed.

We're a little beyond "expected," considering that Academy has been filming for a few months.

That depends on if the 32nd century of DSC S3-5 and SFA is 'actually' the future of shows such as TNG, PIC, LDS, etc. Timey-wimey, and all that.

 

[Daedalus]

What do you mean? SFA will air before SNW has concluded its run. We're not guaranteed to have a new show after SNW, as nothing has been greenlit.

I was just referring to Academy being a newer show than Strange New Worlds.

Oh I see. I probably could've phrased it all better, tbh. Beyond SFA and SNW, it's just a bit murky.

Fair enough.

So, any more news about a new Star Trek movie yet?

I think we can be forgiven for thinking it's yet another script with the right writer/producer/director credentials, that'll go nowhere... because Skydance or Bad Robot probably always need "something Trek" in development or they'll lose the right to do so.

Star Trek: Origins - Production List | Film & Television Industry Alliance

An origin story of the galactic federation that would feature a new cast taking place decades before the original 2009 Star Trek film.

productionlist.com

It's got a production page with an official title and a placeholder shoot date. Money has definitely been spent writing it and location scouting. But I'm sure it can all be written off still...
