Yesterday on Tim Russ's official facebook page he posted this on his wall:
"Might be in a new Voyager Movie"
Replying to a bunch of wall comments, Tim posted:
"We do not know if we are going to make the film yet" (notice the 'We')

MY Opinion:
Based on that, I would say that this would NOT be an official Paramount film (they are in JJ land now), but rather an Independant film probably produced and directed by Tim. This probably would not have Kate Mulgrew or Jeri Ryan but could feature the other cast members in returning roles (infact, i can think of at least 4 who would be up for this).
Tim has experience in these types of films before, he directed and was in 'Star Trek: Of Gods and Men' that had over 15 professional scifi actors in the film, yet was produced independantly of Paramount studios.
The down side to making such a film in not being able to profit on the film (re-couping costs etc..) since CBS owns the copyright to Star Trek. CBS would either have to buy the film or come to some sort of arrangement for that to happen.
Anyways, that is my guess based on my connections and being part of the STOGAM production team. This could be something with a game or other media, or he could be pulling our leg, who knows. Let the speculation begin!
