Patrick Stewart the former Captain of the Enterprise is talking openly about the plans for another movie, and it’s not a prequel but a sequel. This seems to be more than rumour too, but actual hard money talks.
From UK Teletext through Dark Horizons comes the news that Stewart has been in these talks and he’d be interested in boldly going again, despite saying for years now that it’s over…
“But there are weighty people in Hollywood who are very interested in one more run around the holodeck. There are serious plans. I was told this may happen two or three years down the road, by which time I’ll be able to sit again in the captain’s chair, but then again, it’s not all that far away and if I’m in good shape I’d love to do it”.
So there are indeed good messages coming out. Combine this with the news that Brannon Braga has left and that Bryan Singer would love to direct a Star Trek movie and I think there’s a genuine upward trend here. In a few years they might have the right creatives on board (so to speak) and a decent crack at it.
