A brave little theory, and actually quite coherent for a system of five or seven dimensions -- if only we lived in one.
Academician Prokhor Zakharov, "Now We Are Alone"
They do have a point. Although given how Hollywood movies are currently tapping in the old series for inspiration, I keep expecting a Star Trek TOS movie, with the original crew (but not the same actors, of course), the original Enterprise, and a bad adaptation from any not-so-good TOS episode... or maybe a startover, with the crew being formed and meeting each other, à la X Men...
Dunno if this could be great or terrible, though.

While the current state of Hollywood creativity makes the premise plausible, fans could end up with a Star Trek movie in the style of the Ben Stiller Starsky & Hutch film.

A campy (campier??) version of TOS....
With Jack Black as Kirk, Stephen Corel as Spock, Jim Carrey as McCoy
Oh my god, stop me....
I'm practically making it for them.....
Hallie Berry as Uhura, Paris Hilton as Yeoman Rand, Mike Myers as Scotty (in or out of fatsuit?)
Stop me....the pain.....the agony....the craptitude of it all

Why must we redo things? Or I mean, reimagine.
With the end of DS9 we have an entire galaxy now to explore. Not to mention outside our galaxy. The horizens are endless . . . and the limit is how long your dilithium crystals hold its integrity.
I'd take Jack Black as Kirk, but Will Ferrell as Spock and Darrell Hammond as McCoy.Originally Posted by Tricky

You know, I'm not a TOS fan at all (or is it just that I hate Kirk ? ), but I'd tend to share that opinion. Of course, nothing at all would ensure us that the right person would do it, quite the contrary, and for that reason I find this idea dreadful.Originally Posted by AslanC
But JALU3 has a point as well : Trek is a very vast universe, an infinity of movies or mini-series could be made to explore it. Sadly, it seems the folks at Paramount decided once and for all that Trek was to be a series with a starship (or a space station) and its crew, or possibly a movie with the same characters, and nothing else.

Be careful. Many fans didn't initially embraced DS9 because it sets in a space station rather than a mobile starship. And of them, only a few took a chance to see it, even fewer actually came around to liking it while others keep calling it a "soap opera in space."Originally Posted by C5
What it boils down to is making a good story ... week after week. Berman & Braga couldn't do that. Manny Coto and the Reeves-Stevens duo could.
As for the title of this thread, of course the franchise will return. Star Trek is pretty much ingrained into our culture.
Anyhoo, just some random thoughts...

Although that would be a great cast.

Why not. It involves a cameo appearance by Rick Berman in a scene where he got sucked out of the airlock.
Of course, to make it real, we have him get sucked out of an airplane. No parachute and definitely no airbag on the ground.
Anyhoo, just some random thoughts...

LOL!
But only if we somehow frame it as an 'homage' to another series, and make his characters (we're just killing his character, right?) death trivial by having people 200 years in the future watching it, and pointing out his foibles.

To steal a scene from Airplane:
Rick Berman rudely talks on his cell phone about the next Trek series and the itinerary about his convention appearance, but it escalates into a large argument. Being an out-of-control passenger, the flight attendent attempt to calms him down, eventually slaps him across the face. The next attendant tries to calm him down and slaps him in the face. Then a big male passenger in line hit him with a right cross, followed by a fan in an NX-01 starfleet officer uniform with a pipe, a Klingon with Mekleth, an Andorian, .... it was an airplane carrying them to a Las Vegas Trek Convention.
What I would kill to write and submit this sketch proposal to SNL.
Anyhoo, just some random thoughts...
