Watched Seán Ferrick’s video about this earlier today, and while it doesn’t exactly come as a surprise that they’re not planning another Kelvin Trek movie and I didn’t really wait for another one to come out anytime soon, I’m still kinda bummed that it now seems less likely than ever before that we’ll get another movie with that particular ensemble.
At this point I have a lot of nostalgia for those movies, especially the first one, since it was a special time here on the board as well. I still remember fondly the first pieces of information and images coming out, and the time they had the starfleetshipyards.com* landing page where we (IIRC) first saw glimpses of the new ship. These were fun times, and I still think Star Trek (2009) and Star Trek Beyond hold up really well. The cast of these movies was just perfect and I really would have liked to see them on the screen one more time. Catching up with them a little later in their careers could have been an interesting basis for another movie, now that a few years have gone by and the actors are a little older.
* By the way, does anyone know if that’s archived anywhere? The original page sadly seems to be down.
