I think Dukhat was referring to the "Origins" movie and the other potential future productions.SNW S5 and SFA S2 begins filming next week.
Trek's future according to Paramount's new owners...
- Thread starter Mudd
- Start date
Nicholas Meyer wrote his movie when Startrek had only three seasons and a single movie of history to it.
Which meant he could just make up pretty much whatever without stepping on the toes of others.
Given the new obsessive nature of castigating production staff or perceived slights to inerrant canon (that totally errs) Meyer would face a lot more than death threats if he did something like TWOK today.
Paramount Hires Star Trek Fan To Head Streaming Originals; ‘Origin’ Movie Producer Talks Trek
Paramount+ is reportedly looking to expand Star Trek programming.trekmovie.com
If we can get from two shows to three, Tawny Newsome's new show just might run interference for Legacy with regards to the perception of DEI (P+: "There's a man in the lead. Why are you complaining?")
Star Trek: Year One is not happening (Why would P+ do a TV series featuring the same ship and characters that are in the feature film that Paramount Studios is trying to get off the ground?)
Same goes for Bakula's Federation President show (Nothing short of putting Aaron Sorkin on the writing staff is going to make it remotely interesting.)

i'll be excited about the next movie/movies if and when they actually enter production. We've been teased about movies for nearly a decade now
By that same logic, why would Paramount make Legacy? It’s yet another exploration series featuring another Enterprise. If the studio is worried about brand confusion, they’d likely choose to only make one series about an Enterprise crew.
Yes. If someone actually read the article I quoted, it would have been obvious what I meant, since the article had zero real news about future tv/movie productions.
Paramount did it back in the 80s (They had one Enterprise for their feature film franchise and the Enterprise-D on TV).
Seven's Enterprise is the Enterprise-G. Plus, the crews are completely different.
If P+ wanted a show about a crew on an Enterprise, they wouldn’t have canceled SNW. So thinking that they’re going to make another show about a crew on an Enterprise, when they already had one, isn’t very logical.
As far as TNG and the TOS films went, that was a mistake. Paramount thought they could make TOS films indefinitely without realizing that the cast was getting too old for that.
Five and Gone is a cost containment measure (They wanted to cancel SNW after S4. They only got a truncated S5 after Akiva Goldsman begged for it.)
If they're that worried about ship confusion, they can always give the G a refit (just as the Enterprise-D got a refit and became the Enterprise-E).
Which is why they transitioned to TNG after TUC.

It has nothing to do with cost containment. They simply didn’t want to continue producing SNW anymore, not that they wanted to end a show about a crew on an Enterprise only to start producing another show about a crew on an Enterprise. That’s not cost containment.
It has nothing to do with confusion. See above. And your analogy about the D to the E doesn’t really work in context. They wanted a new ship for the films and destroyed the previous one. That’s not hard for the audience to follow.
Huh? TNG started right after TVH ended. The first film post TNG was TFF, which was a disaster. The only reason why TUC exists is because they didn’t want to send off the TOS cast with that horrible previous film.
Since casts can renegotiate contracts at higher amounts after 5 seasons then there is a cost containment measure in reducing how much they have to pay a cast for 5+ years in a show over starting a new show.
But after 5 seasons they can also get new actors. From the main cast, other than Spock, Uhura, Chapel and M'benga to a lesser extent, all the other characters are expendable and don't have to continue for a proposed sixth season. They can be replaced by Kirk, Scotty, McCoy, Sulu, Chekov, Rand, Kelso, and any other first season TOS character they want. That would make far more sense than to end SNW and start a new show on a completely different Enterprise with a completely different cast. The fact that that's not what's happening, makes it seem pretty clear that they have no intention of making another show like 'Legacy' (or 'Year One,' for that matter.)

This is the bit I'm interested to see of Year One goes ahead - how will they handle the characters dropped from WNMHGB vs McCoy, Uhura etc
i don't really think any of these pitches are likely to happen.
Legacy, Year One, United, Tawny's show.
It seems Skydance wants to focus on big screen movies. Doesn't make sense having Kelvin 4 and Year One at the same time.

I personally would like to see a series about the Temporal Cold War. A spy series involving different eras of Trek.
They've said they want to do a 'coordinated effort' - but yeah, if Star Trek feature films are a focus anything on the Streaming arm will be related to that.
And they have some time as there's Streaming Trek in the pipeline through 2027 - so that's 2.5 years to get something ready for 2028.
"They" are no longer in charge. The decision was made under the previous regime. We don't have any information beyond "TV and Movies will coordinate now".
I think they should just make TV and movies with the same cast. It's been done (Batman, Munsters, X-files, Simpsons) it's just not common.
Or the TNG-era Trek films.
