TNG reboot in future ?

[Jax]

Lets say we get a trilogy of these nuTrek movies under the guidance of J.J Abrams and then the actors call it a day (though would love a TUC style movie from them like 5,6,7 years after) where does STAR TREK go. Assuming the next two movies under the TOS crew makes good $$$ like the current movie will Paramount ignore TV for more movies...

A TNG movie possibly under the new timeline though I would want The Borg saved for a sequel and not to kick it off. Plus would you do one Borg film or have a sequel showing a full fleet battle at last maybe we could get the entire Alpha Quadrant come together.

Who the hell would you cast.

A TNG movie possibly under the new timeline

Doubt it dude, should the current cast bow out on a high note, they'd probably spin something off from this new universe than pull something from an old universe that most of the people who saw this film are completely unfamiliar with.

 

[Kirby]

^^^ Agreed, I don't want them to run through the whole franchise. Let's just enjoy this crew for a while.

 

[Tom]

Right now TPTB at Viacom are utterly convinced that Kirk,Spock TOS formula is the way to go with Star Trek for awhile, it would take a miricle to convince them to mess around with TNG .

 

[C.E. Evans]

I think the way things currently stand, they'll probably reboot TOS again--and bring in yet another new cast to play Kirk and the gang--rather than reboot TNG.

Or as dodge suggested, they could also go forward with spinoffs from this new era only. Maybe they'll feature a different ship or starbase with a different crew?

Who knows--many years from now, the movies may continue with Captain Decker in command of the Enterprise.

This currant timeline has been so drastically changed that the most, if not all the characters from the TNG era may not have been born.

Think further down the road guys...
I think Jax is actually talking about perhaps say around the year 2019.
Think of Star Trek XI as being 1979 after 4 films Paramount made the TNG TV series. Two more films and that was it for the TOS cast.
Jax is thinking the Qunto, Pine crew may be finished after 3-4 feature films around 2016-2019. Would Paramount be mounting a new Trek TV show in 2013? That is only 5 years from now. Would that TV show be set in the 23rd century or 24th century? then say in 2019 would that TV show be given the feature film treatment?

If this gets any more details as to casting choices and ideas for plots, etc. it WILL get moved to Future of Trek so try to tie in ST:XI in some way.

The TNG crowd could easily still exist, and there's nothing to stop any of the series from being recast and done over (even ENT tho the timeline thing doesn't apply there). My picks for recasting:

Picard - Wentworth Miller w/no hair
Riker - Timothy Olyphant
Worf - Christopher Judge
Dr. Crusher - Cynthia Watros w/red hair
Tasha Yar - Katee Sackhoff
Geordi LaForge - Harold Perrineau
Deanna Troi - Morena Baccarin (who will be killed off instead of Tasha, who is far more interesting than boooooring Deanna)
Data - Alan Tudyk

Wesley - retconned out of existence
Q - no thanks, never cared for the guy

 

[Joby]

I honestly think we should cross that bridge when we get there. Let that be a problem for 2019 or whenever. In the here and now of 2009, I prefer to enjoy Trek XI and speculate on the further films of Kirk/Spock as portrayed by Pine and Qunito.

In 2002 when NEM bombed, how many people honestly thought they would do a new universe version of TOS? Some speculated a brand new "movie only" crew set in the 24th century, there were some ideas of a Starfleet Academy film featuring TOS, but Trek XI wasn't really a pure Starfleet Academy movie as what some wondered about back then. Still others wanted one more final try of Picard and the gang for another TNG flick, but many folks thought Trek dead in the water.

Point being, we don't know how the franchise will be doing in the future, nor is it easy to predict what TPTB will do. I for one was convinced they would do an animated series by 2005, but obviously that never happened. We'll have to see how worn out people are of Kirk and Spock 10 years from now and if they really would want a reboot TNG movie. Though I do tend to agree with the poster that said they might try to reboot TOS again and have it be their James Bond movie franchise, just get different actors every 10 years or so.

 

[MANT!]

Lets see...TOS film success..TMP TWOK TSFS TVH TUC..now recast ST...

TNG reboot..less probable..with the only true stinker in terms of money..Nemesis..on that watch..all other Star Trek films were moneymakers..(even TFF)
http://www.the-numbers.com/movies/series/StarTrek.php
a money maker is a movie that at least doubles it's budget..and every Star Trek film except Nemesis has done so... So not very likely..

 

[Australis]

When the TOS films started, Patrick Stewart really wasn't on anybody's radar. When Dr Who changes next year, the new guy wasn't on anybody's radar. When they decide to do new films or TV shows, whatever, chances are it'll be with people who we haven't seen much of, if at all, yet.

 

[darkshadow0001]

I hope this doesn't happen. Why do we need to reboot everything? We can continue in the 24th century with a whole new crew.

 

[Cyke101]

I hope Guinan goes crazy.

...will Paramount ignore TV for more movies...

The rights to Trek-on-TV and Trek-in-movies are now owned by two separate companies (Paramount is owned by Viacom, while CBS is now a completely separate company with the rights to both the existing TV Trek and the rights to make any more).

It's actually kind of arguable whether CBS would even be allowed to use the Abramsverse continuity if they wanted to, as I understand it. They could do their own reboot though, of course...

Either way, Paramount will ignore TV, because they have nothing to DO with TV.

 

[Gorn Captain]

Captain Decker?

That would have been a short movie if he'd been in command of the Enterprise. He would have raised shields and/or scanned V'ger, it would have been interpreted as as hostile act, and the Enterprise would have been Epsilon'd. End of film.

Yeah, let's get Decker in the big chair.

 

[JewelsNeeJulian]

TNG has not worn well as the years have progressed and with the TNG films relative lack luster performance at the theatres, I'm just not seeing it.

 

[Butters]

Whats the point?

Another spinoff would need to be relevant to the audience of its time and my guess is that by the time trek is ready for that spinoff, TNG will be incongrous with nuTOS. Another USS Enterprise yes, another crew yes, but theres nothing in the narrative of nuTrek to restrict creativity, so why not be original?

 

[clint g]

Im not sure what they will do, but I really really hope they don't just constantly reboot the franchise. That would get lame real fast

 

[CoveTom]

The entertainment industry is well-known for attempting to jump on board anything that's successful and trying to beat every last little possible dollar out of it rather than showing some restraint and not oversaturating the market.

Therefore, I fully expect that CBS will begin thinking about a new Star Trek television series in short order. It will have to be different from what we have in the current film for a number of reasons -- Paramount holds the rights to that continuity, the actors probably wouldn't do it, etc. -- but they'll try to slap the 'Star Trek' name on something and ride the coattails of this movie's successs. And likely fail miserably.

 

[anothertrekfan]

Ehh.... I don't see it happening. NuTrek will have to run its course of a gazillion movies and then the powers at be at Paramount will decide what to do next. Maybe in a hundred years or so they might bring back NuTNG.
