  • 'Star Trek' Franchise Reboot: Simon Kinberg Eyed for Paramount Movie

    Jump

  • @ValueSubtracted I think my ramblings up there are my process of arriving where you already are.

    "Make Kelvin 4" is at least a plan, and there's an audience that would like more. Would I watch it, sure. Would I care if it never gets made...not really.

    But when they start throwing these other movie ideas around, I don't see a purpose. And people will say what they will about Kurtzman's tenure as TV Trek overlord, but at least everything there had a purpose (whether one agrees with it or not).

  • @ValueSubtracted I keep thinking about this and I'm not sure where I land. I feel like we're near "progress for progress' sake".

    First we had movies that sequeled our TV shows. No one objected unless a given movie was bad.

    Then post-Berman pre-streaming we did movies because no one had appetite to make new TV Trek. Fine.

    Now in the streaming era of multiple series, what purpose do disconnected-from-TV cinematic movies serve? Do they need to exist besides 💰?

    I don't know what the answer is.

  • @StillPaisleyCat I can't decide how to feel about it. I don't have much interest in a full-blown reboot. Nor am I much interested in seeing how this film might crap all over ENT. I guess we'll see. Or maybe we won't, considering Paramount's track record of late with getting Trek films off the ground. @startrek

  • "It is said to involve the creation of the Starfleet and humankind’s first contact with alien life."

    If that's really what it is, for all I care just establish that Kelvin is an entire alternative universe and not an alternate timeline instead of annoying me by seeing how they frak around with the canon Star Trek: Enterprise already established.

  • Or they're just throwing the "Kelvin had a specific point of divergence" concept out.

  • @Reverendender @startrek "I'll give it a shot" is basically where I am going into any new Trek project. We'll see what it is.

    Jump

  • @ValueSubtracted @startrek Yeah, just general talk of spacing out future projects. But since it's the only potential future project we know of (I think?) it's a straw to grab. 😂

    Personally I wouldn't be shocked if the idea dies because people move on to other projects and then if/when Paramount decided to do it you suddenly can't get the band back together on the timeline they want.

  • @ValueSubtracted @startrekBasically where I'm also at.

    Also, as someone noted in a Discord chat about it, "decades before" only gives you a small window between the start of the Kelvin universe and Trek '09, otherwise too far back and you're making a Prime Timeline movie. So that'll be interesting to see what they plan.

  • @samus12345 @startrek I didn't see it either until the Memory Alpha entry for the episode listed her as there.

    I wonder if it was a case where they didn't have the original actress and/or didn't really have any lines for her. So why put her up front and center to say nothing and then fans complain that everyone else in Nova Squadron was back and talking and she wasn't.

    I have no real idea, just speculating.

  • @samus12345 @startrek In the opening wide shot of the Academy, there are 5 people walking along in Nick's group and then one waves goodbye and goes off in the opposite direction before we get close up on the group for dialogue. I think it's being assumed that person was Jean since the hairstyle and general body build seems to match.
