IF the movies had each been made on a fanfilm production budget, and on a production timeline significantly tighter than 2-to-2 1/2-year turnaround seen in Trek movies previously, then sure, we might have seen 10 Kelvin Timeline movies between 2009 and now. Maybe more -- who knows?

If one ignores the mechanics involved in movie production, it's possible to imagine all sorts of impossible scenarios.

But those aren't the movies which were contracted by Paramount.

And this is a thread about a potential Star Trek 4, not about any of the things you said above.

If you wish to discuss absurd "if only they would'a" schemes of the type we've already seen dozens of times before, you're welcome to start a thread about that, but kindly refrain from injecting them into threads which are clearly not about that, 'K?

Karl Urban (Still) Hopes For Another Star Trek Kelvin Movie

It's been a decade, but maybe hope isn't as dead as a red shirt.

Not likely, though. Kelvin McCoy is one of my favorite characters.

M'Sharak still being a bully and a blowhard after so many years, what a shock. Nobody is allowed to respond in the thread, but he sure loves pushing people around so others can read it. He could easily just send a message like MOST mods do it on the internet, but no -- public humiliation without possibility of response.

I've literally never seen a worse mod in 30 years of online PC-mongering. Shame on you, sir.

Thanks for coming back after two years just to bitch. See you in 2028.

I have no idea who appointed you to police the internet, Mr. "I've been on online forums since their inception," but it's always been a matter of TrekBBS policy that moderator actions are conducted in the open, and only taken to PM if and when further discussion is required.

If you have an issue with that policy (and it seems that you very much do,) then the correct avenue for you to have taken would have been to raise that issue in the Questions, Suggestions & Feedback forum, which is provided for that purpose.

so others can read it.

Got it in one.

When an advisory is given, it's not hidden, but rather where everyone may learn from it.

If that were my intention, O Expert on the Way Things Are Done, I assure you I'd have taken a very different approach.

Comments to PM.

There were always alternatives to ST4. They could have done an animated movie, which was cheaper to produce. They could also have done a 10 episode limited series, which costs about the same as a movie. Neither was done.

word on the street is that the new owners of paramount are planning to make star trek movies again which i guess is why they axed all of the streaming tv star trek shows

Does this "word on the street" have a link?

Even if that is the plan, I doubt they will go forward with anymore films from the Abrams era. That iron went cold a long time ago.

i think it was mentioned many times on this forums

Always good to have links to or quote the relevant post(s) where you got the information from.

Google Maps will at least find the map for you.

karl urban is the only one i think had nailed it from the getgo. i alternately would have taken gary sinise.

Urban does an impersonation of Kelley as Perpetually-Pissed-Off McCoy, nothing more. The other actors brought something interesting to their roles.

They are all supposed to be stereotypes of the TOS cast (well, except for Chekov, whom the writers seemed to have mistaken for Wesley Crusher). I mean, Pegg’s Scotty is far more of a goofball over-the-top comedy relief than Doohan’s Scotty ever was, even in the films.

Thry had 2 hours to get the characters across instead of 70something. They're gonna hit the tropes hard.

 

[fireproof78]

I think all the characters are very good, and enjoyable, with similarities enough to TOS, but their own take as well.
