Paramount Photos has been making an attempt to get a brand new Star Trek film off the bottom for years with producer J.J. Abrams. That is one in every of their greatest franchises, and so they can’t appear to get a brand new movie within the franchise going! It’s loopy as a result of they’ve had some critically superior expertise concerned together with Quentin Tarantino and Noah Hawley, however after Star Trek Past, the TV aspect of issues has been propelling the franchise ahead in actually cool methods!

Within the newest problem of SFX Journal, Star Trek veteran Jonathan Frakes talked about the way forward for the franchise, and in regard to the movie aspect of issues, he’s not hopeful. He mentioned:

“Films are powerful! Even JJ [Abrams] cannot get this fourth film off the bottom. All these fantastic rumors? Noah Hawley was connected to a ‘Star Trek’ film, and Quentin was toying with folks’s feelings about doing a film. If these two names cannot get a f***ing film made, I do not know. TV is the longer term, it appears to me.”

Yeah, he’s proper. It looks as if TV is the longer term for the franchise. Positive, it will be nice to see one other Star Trek journey on the massive display, nevertheless it’d must be nice! It’ll have to fulfill the requirements of storytelling that we’re seeing within the present Star Trek reveals, and none of the newest movies have reached that bar.

A fourth Star Trek movie below Abrams was within the works for a while, and it will have seen Chris Pine‘s Captain Kirk unite along with his father, performed by Chris Hemsworth. There was an fascinating story there, however they by no means managed to get it collectively. There have been varied different makes an attempt to make a movie since then, the newest concerned Matt Shakman (WandaVision) directing. However he dropped out, and that mission has since been shelved.

As for the TV aspect of issues, Frakes has been closely concerned with Star Trek: Picard and after its third and ultimate season comes, he nonetheless thinks there is a chance to develop and maintain the story going for a few of these characters. He mentioned:

“I hope the street results in one other collection. The setup is there clearly, as you may see, by the tip of the season. All of it appears to me that the characters on this ultimate season of ‘Picard,’ ought to it work out, are primed for one more journey. I am definitely optimistic. I believe it might be the tip of the ‘Picard’ story, however I am unsure it is the tip of the ‘Subsequent Technology’ story. That is the vibe. I am an everlasting optimist. I am positive it is what [showrunner] Terry [Matalas] would love!”

Hell, yeah! Let’s maintain that Subsequent Technology story going! I’m completely up for that! So, we is probably not getting any new Star Trek motion pictures anytime quickly, however there are many superior issues taking place with the reveals that the followers are having fun with. It’s so humorous as a result of Star Wars is having the identical problem proper now!
