Studio Source Says Star Trek XI Will Be a Total Reboot ?

Features

By GustavoLeao / 01:40, 18 August 2006 / Star Trek: Nemesis

IESB's Robert Sanchez is reporting today some inside info on the upcoming Star Trek XI to be produced by J.J. Abrams for a 2008 release.



Any chance of William Shatner making an appearance in Star Trek XI ? "Absolutely not," an unnamed studio source told the site "This is not just another Trek movie but instead a total reboot, we will see things that are similar to what is known in the Trek Universe but we will not be held to every aspect of the last 40 years. We are going to introduce Star Trek to a whole new generation and many more generations to come. We have total faith that J.J. and company will take Trek to a whole new level. Trek has been going downhill for the last 10 years and if we expect it to be around 20 years from now we will have to take some bold steps that might be controversial at first but we are sure to bring new fans to the dying franchise."

Asked about the existing fans of Trek and if they would like the direction the new Trek is headed towards, the source said "Trek fans were not able to keep the last show (Enterprise) on the air and we are looking on bringing over Alias and Lost fans and if the old Trekkies like the new movie great, if not too bad. We have to boldly go were no Star Trek has gone before."

This information is preliminary, of course, and entirely rumor.

The original report can be found here.

Disagree the only reason for BSG is that the original show only was a seeason or two. And after that nothing much came out of the show. Enterprise failed not because it was a prequal, it failed because of the writing, thats why by the second season lot of people were turned away from the show. The answer to every problem with a show or movie that fails is not a reboot or reimage thats idiotic. Just be a good writer for what you are writing for. Thats my definition of a good writer, not. Oh because Star Trek has some rules to writing for it, which makes it Star Trek, they want to change it. Then if thats the case then don't take on the project take a job in some other genre in writing. It just erks me that this idea that its the only way things can be done now a days.

It is impossible to get the rancid bile-like taste of Nemesis out of your mouth.
Another TNG movie? Are you intent on completely sucking the life out of the franchise? Hello....TNG movies bombed (except for FC).
