Captain Tom Hanks in Next Star Trek
Posted Jan 2, 2006, 1:29 PM ET

Although William Shatner is expected to appear, there are rumours going around that Tom Hanks will be the captain of the new upcoming Star Trek movie.



The latest rumour is that Tom Hanks will be captain of the Star Trek Enterprise in the new upcoming Star Trek movie. However, if William Shatner is to appear, what will he do?

Many SCI-FI fans don't believe the rumour, calling it just plain silly. I mean, come on, Tom Hanks as Star Trek commander? Is this movie supposed to be of Star Trek, or some comical delusion like "Airplane"?

Also, why on earth would actor Tom Hanks want to jump into such a serious role where men boldly go anyway? The trek world where actors don't get anywhere near the respect they deserve because its "sci-fi". Star Trek XI - The Beginning is being put together by

well who ever though that  the quantum leap guy captain archer was going to be in the enterprise

i think tom kanks whood make a grat capitn adding humer to the role.

but i am yet to convisted that he can do serise role like the one that whood need to be pertyed on star trek.

+ like the last capitn i cept thinking of quontom leep thow out the hole showe. he mite not snap in to the role as mmuch as i would like him to.

if thay fixed him up as an adormin, bashorin, trill or some uther kind of alinon he mite work beter. If thay fixed him up as a ailen he whood not look like tom hanks as much and i mite not atach his pevise role with him in star trek.  

well i did not saw any jokes in apollo 13 and i am pritty sure that tom hanks played in it

is this for real?

I still want to see a dominon ware related movie :P not this begginning crap :(  

I just want to see a Star Trek series based on action and only action and in the current universe. Now, wouldn't that kick butt? :lol:

...but it belies the true nature of Star Trek, which is "TO BOLDLY GO WHERE NO ONE HAS GONE BEFORE", not to "kick but"...

You'd think they learned their lesson with "Enterprise", but they're gonna go ahead and repeat the same mistake again...  Y'know what I want?  The good 'ol Enterprise-E.  I think it would be a great idea to bring in some new crew members and start a few post-Nemesis adventures for a change.  As long as it doesn't contradict any of the post-Nemesis books, of course.

well Tom Hanks  is a A+ acter one of the best alive to day i can say. he is allso a mager star that would bring odule and odules of new vowers.

what is everyones beef with ENt its a good enough show there is no problem with it

u got a problem go ******* cry to paramount for oversaturating us with Trek

*******

Trek games
trek credit cards
trek Dsl
trek Experience

the bottom line startrek has been in decline due to the fact paramount rape the franchise

true but a Sci-fi actor he ain't. dont think he would suit the role TBH.

the root of my problem with it was that they ripped off my favourite ship class (akira). Honestly when i first saw it i thought there was something wrong with the picture on my tv (  :huh: upside down akira?  :huh: ) then it showed the ship next to something and i realised it they were being serious about it :hmmm: .

for me a dominion war movie would be kickass, but then again with nemesis, we already went past that, and we all know what going back in time does in the star trek universe lol  

and you think its the shows fault come on who wanted to rush out a 5th season of trek just as voyager ended?

i think the probloms started the day geen-rodin barry died.

They should make a new startrek series after the events of ST nemesis based on
Sovreign Class ship or something better.

Making a film in the past will go down like enterise

i am thinking thay need to have a jump in the the fucher like thay did with ncc-1701-a to ncc-1701-d

no that would show signs of parramounts weekness they tried a jump into the past and it screwed them over

the problom was not that thay jumped in to the past the problom is that thay scowed up the time line.

lol lord help the star trek franchise

TREK CREDIT CARDS!?
WHERE CAN I GET ONE

nah, I think they should start a new series at about 2400 (aka 21 years after Nemesis) so that way it would give them an excuse for a new crew, and all those futuristic ship designs they busted on Enterprise

Patrick Stewart Mulls Over Another Star Trek Project
Hollywood bosses are still trying to entice Star Trek actor Patrick Stewart to return to the Starship Enterprise - but he fears he will be too old by the time they come up with the goods.

The 65-year-old star, who played Capt. Jean-Luc Picard in the television series and later movies, insists the offers would be tempting, if only he were a little younger.

He says, "Weighty people in Hollywood have come up with a very interesting proposition. But they told me it was still two, three or four years down the road, by which time I would only be able to sit in the captain's chair and not have the energy to get out of it!"

Hanks for Star Trek?


There is something going on in the Trekkie universe as this is the third rumor about a Star Trek sequel that we have received recently. First we were told that T'Pol would appear in the film (here) and next we were told that it was highly possible that we could even see the return of William Shatner (here).

However, none of these rumors compare to what has appeared online recently. According to Sci Fi Heaven, Tom Hanks is now a possible contender to play some role or other in the next Trek sequel.

New Star Trek Rumors
In one of our last Star Trek updates I already admitted that I was not part of the Trekkie consensus; even though I did love Wrath of Kahn and enjoyed Voyage Home. If Tom Hanks did decide he wanted to appear in a Star Trek film I couldn't really be for or against the move and would instead just see this as a chance for the franchise to pick up a gifted and popular actor.

On the other hand, how weird would it look to see Hanks in the captain's chair?

Rumours have been dropped into the Sci-Fi Heaven news box today of a possible Tom Hanks appearance in the next Star Trek movie. According to our source, should Erik Jendresen’s script be chosen for production (Paramount executives are rumored to still be analyzing the script), Tom Hanks has been penned in as a possible star.

 
 

The move would be a dramatic one for “Star Trek XI - The Beginning” and feature perhaps the biggest name to move into the franchise since Patrick Stewart took on the role of Captain Jean-Luc Picard.

So what is left to do in the Star Trek universe? We have already done the final frontier and have befriended some Klingons; what's left? The initial rumor claims that the next Star Trek will feature mirror universes that can cross and intermix. Hmmm, will God appear in this one?

You can next see Tom Hanks in the upcoming adaptation of The Da Vinci Code.

Check out Sci Fi Heaven for the entire Star Trek rumor.

Stay tuned for updates.

I just want a group like Voyager or DS9 not quite uber characters, just "mostly" normal folks in extreme situations, somewhere during or around the end of the dominion war in a normal starship like the akira or excelcior. or mabye a I don't know prometheus class. Something midsized and belivable, just exploring and encountering new things  

i agree here. :)
an akira ship would be awesome  B)  Thunderchild here i come :D  

lol the Thunderchild was destroyed in First Contact

for crying out loud :mad:  

the Thunderchild was the akira that swooped past the camera as the cube exploded i.e it survived.

final assualt on the cube (http://www.ditl.org/gpaf/GAkira1.jpg)
swooping past (http://www.ditl.org/gpaf/GBrgKaboom2.jpg) er note the cubes explosion misses it :P

Yeah, but the CGI models for all the Akiras that were destryed also said Thunderchild...

so where are they then? :mellow:  

hmmmm a testament to Utopia Plaitia's lack of ingenuety?

 :huh: wtf are you talking about? where are the images of all these thunderchilds getting destroyed?

Do you really think ILM would go to the trouble of naming each of them individually?  After all, no one would get a good enough view to see that they were all labeled the same, amyway  

lol then stfu  :lol:  you dont have the proof, hense your chatting crap :P  

Yet raising my post count exponentially  :P  

Utopia Planitia? i didn't know that akiras are manufactured there.


---- :ph34r: edit

or was that a joke?

he was talking crap  :D
but who knows if they were not made there  :blink:  

yup he was talking crap

I checked, and Akiras are being made at Beta Antares (Antares Fleet Yards) and Andoria (Andorai Construction Yards).

Some of them may have been made at Utopia Planitia, but if they were, they're commisioned now, so it doesn't say

i thing they should have lots of fight secins in the new trek movie and have lots of contact with the federation and other fereation ships and aliances ships eg klingon romulan.

lol at u

I think they should get their butts whooped by a combined Breen/Tholian alliance

with lots of cool fight scenes!!!! that would make a good new spin off, starfleet and the federation get a *** kicking, and we then follow a load of ships (each of which believe themselves to be the last of the federation) as they try and rebuild the federation and restore the alpha quoderent back to peace! reuniting the quoderatnt!

No, actually, they just die

as long as it's not like Andromeda. Anyone remember that show? I watched it till it just got stupid. like a month or so i guess.

i didn't like andromider

andromeda actually did get good there were some decent story lines maybe if u watched past season 2 or 3  

Wow, just like Enterprise!  :lol:  

:lol: yea lol  

I'd like to see a good story again.
No "Hey let's steal the plot of ST2. Hahah, these idiots won't notice. Let's throw in a car chase to distract them!"
No "I have no ideas for storys today. Let's just have the Vulcan chick undress."
No mindless special effects sequences.
No uber ships that split up into 12 parts for no apparent reason.
No self-contradictions.
No "bad guys who want to take over the galaxy/wipe out the federation/kill the Enterprise's captain/al of the above"-of-the-week.
I'd like to see Star Trek grow up for a change.

I know that's not likely. But Tom Hanks seems to be a step into the right direction. He's at least as good an actor as Patrick Stewart. All this needs now is a good producer.

George Lucas.   :lol:  :lol:  

i agree with all of that apart from "I have no ideas for storys today. Let's just have the Vulcan chick undress."  ;)  :rolleyes:  

Unfortunately, I must also agree.

STAR TREK THE NEXT GENERATION star Patrick Stewart has just been interviewed on ITV's THIS MORNING show in a prelude to the UK premiere of his new show ELEVENTH HOUR.

(http://web.wireimage.com/images/Thumbnail/5702477.jpg)

He was again questioned about the rumours of a new TNG film. He was tight lipped but did say there was "great interest" in getting the TNG cast together again as well as including characters from the other series.

Stewart reveals, "It has been raised. Apparently there's interest in bringing THE NEXT GENERATION cast together with actors from different STAR TREK series."

Then they asked him if this meant Captain James T. Kirk would return, and he replied that he hoped so because William Shatner was a good friend. "I would love that. I'm very fond of William Shatner." he said.

Stewart also talked about X-MEN 3 and his play A CHRISTMAS CAROL. 'I've just finished a run in the West End of A CHRISTMAS CAROL and I'm now looking forward to a year in Warwickshire, Stratford upon Avon, being a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company for a whole season of plays. I don't see one genre as being more significant than the other, although I'm very excited about Stratford because that was a huge part of my early career, and it meant so much to me. One of the reasons I became an actor was to do that kind of work, I didn't become an actor to work in film or television, I had no ambitions for that, it just kind of happened along the way. I think X-MEN 3 might be the best of the trilogy. It's very emotional and exciting.'

Thanks to Bring Back Kirk for the news.

Who knows, Tom Hanks might be the villain...

Soon, a 'Star Trek' with a galaxy of stars!
Washington: One generation of fans grew up watching William Shatner as Captain Kirk go to places where no man had ever gone before, along with the inimitable Dr. Spock, played by Loenard Nimoy.

And after him another generation watched Patrick Stewart taking over command of the starship 'Enterprise' to continue man's quest to reach the outer fringes of space.

Now, a couple of generations later, it may just be possible that both the earlier, as well as the present generation, may be able to see all the heroes of the “Star Trek” series team up for a memorable galactic ride on the big screen.

According to Stewart, movie bosses have shown interest in getting together the stars from all the past and present series, for one final push towards the final frontier.

“It has been raised. Apparently there's interest in bringing the next generation cast together with actors from different Star Trek series.

“I would love that. I'm very fond of William Shatner,” Contactmusic quoted him, as saying.

The latest issue of STAR TREK Magazine features an exclusive interview with STAR TREK producer Rick Berman. Here are a few excerpts.

(http://web.wireimage.com/images/Thumbnail/4793936.jpg)

Regarding former TREK producer Brannon Braga recent comments that he is "done" with STAR TREK (story), Berman said "Brannon mentioned that to me, and I looked at the whole statement somewhere on the Internet. It was very overrated. All that Brannon said was that he's on another project and he's not doing STAR TREK right now, and he thinks if someone asked him tomorrow to do STAR TREK again he's probably say the time wasn't right, but that he wouldn't rule it out. A lot more was made of that than should have been."

"As for myself, I have no idea if I'm done with STAR TREK. Since there are no STAR TREK projects in television even being discussed right now and since the idea of the next STAR TREK movie is far away, or does not seem to be imminent, for me to say 'I'm done with STAR TREK' isn't something I'm going to say. I can't make any kind of definitive statement on that."

Asked about how much influence he feels THE ORIGINAL SERIES has had on him over the years, he said "I was a fan of THE ORIGINAL SERIES in that I had watched a number of episodes, maybe a third of them, and I'd enjoyed them. I didn't closely follow it. Gene [Roddenberry] created THE NEXT GENERATION. He created every character and he set the tone and the style for it. Even though he stepped back after the second season, it was totally his creation. I watched much more of the original show than people think, though. If we were doing VOYAGER or whatever show and a question of continuity came up, we very often would find ourselves in the cutting room, screening a video or DVD of one of the original episodes.

"A lot of fans like to berate me with the idea that I don't care about the continuity of the series, but it was something that I in fact cared greatly about, and it was something we always tried not to hurt."

About future projects, Berman revealed "There's something going on with the Internet, something STAR TREK-related, but it's something that's way too early to discuss."

More from Berman, including his comments on the late Michael Piller, can be found at Sci Fi Pulse.

"Star Trek XI" Cancelled?
Posted:   Monday February 27th, 2006 12:10pm

The latest issue of Dreamwatch spoke with producer Rick Berman's assistant Doug Mirabello who revealed that the Erik Jendresen "Star Trek: The Beginning" script had been scrapped and that there isn't likely to be any Star Trek in movie theatres or on Television for quite some time says Trekweb.

He also says that to his knowledge there are no plans for using Patrick Stewart in any forthcoming TNG movie projects. "It's more likely that some executive had a casual conversation with him and brought up some hypotheticals which he ran with when some reporter asked him about Star Trek. There's a chance that someone else at Paramount is planning something huge and keeping us out of the loop. From what I've heard, Patrick wouldn't do another Trek movie unless they paid him Professor X money."

Now that the merger between UPN and WB is in full swing, Mirabello is not optimistic about a small screen future either - "The TV side is now technically in control of the franchise's future, and Les Moonves hates all things Sci-Fi. However, I think this is actually for the best - the public needs to want to see Star Trek again. The best way to achieve this is to take it away for a few years and then bring it back and do it right. The franchise needs a totally new creative team, some time off, and a cool new approach".

Trek XI Confusion
Paramount pulling a fast one?
by Paul Davidson
 February 27, 2006 - Reports and rumors over the past year or so have suggested not one, but two different ideas being pursued for the next Star Trek film. The more publicized possibility for Star Trek XI is a prequel film currently called "Star Trek: The Beginning".



Patrick Stewart, on the other hand, referred to another idea for a TNG-era Star Trek film. "There are serious plans," the captain of the Enterprise-D stated.

However, word now comes via Doug Mirabello, assistant to Trek producer Rick Berman, that plans for Star Trek XI, aka The Beginning, have been scrapped. What's more, now that Paramount's television network, UPN, and the WB network are merging, the television side of the studio is taking firmer control of Star Trek's future, and that future is bleak.

Mirabello also acknowledged the serious flaws in Enterprise that led to its demise. "They had a hit show in the 1980's… they never really evolved with the times. People generally knew when an [Enterprise] episode was bad. We even had one director go to the producers and tell them he was ashamed to direct the episode where our crew turned into lizard people. The finale was one of those where you'd go down to the stage and see people shaking their heads while reading the script."

"The TV side is now technically in control of the franchise's future," Mirabello apparently wrote on an Internet message board, "and [Viacom co-president] Les Moonves hates all things Sci-Fi. However, I think this is actually for the best - the public needs to want to see Star Trek again. The best way to achieve this is to take it away for a few years and then bring it back and do it right." (source: Scifi Pulse)

Back to the possibility of another film, however — how do Stewart's comments regarding an alternate Star Trek XI concept fit into the picture? "It's more likely that some executive had a casual conversation with him and brought up some hypotheticals which he ran with when some reporter asked him about Star Trek," suggested Mirabello. "[But] there's a chance that someone else at Paramount is planning something huge and keeping us out of the loop."

Some fans seem to think there's truth in that "but". What if Paramount has been keeping its options open behind Rick Berman's back? Co-producer Braga has already left the franchise; perhaps if Berman leaves and new blood takes over, Trek could be revitalized.

New Star Trek movie cancelled
Posted by Clint Morris on February 27, 2006
Paramount have put the Enterprise back on bricks.

Though the studio had announced plans to develop a new “Star Trek” film – possibly one that would involve stars from several of the TV show spin-offs - TrekWeb.com has discovered that this is no longer the case. “Star Trek 11” is as dead as veal.

Doug Mirabello, personal assistant to Rick Berman, says there isn’t likely to be any “Star Trek” in movie theatres or on Television for quite some time – regardless of what you may have heard. He also confirmed that Erik Jendresen’s script for “Star Trek The Beginning” has been rejected.

Though recent rumours suggested Patrick Stewart might be back in talks to reprise his role as Captain Picard for a new movie, Mirabello thinks it unlikely.

"It’s more likely that some executive had a casual conversation with him and brought up some hypotheticals which he ran with when some reporter asked him about Star Trek…. [But] there’s a chance that someone else at Paramount is planning something huge and keeping us out of the loop. From what I’ve heard, Patrick wouldn’t do another Trek movie unless they paid him Professor X money…"

“The best way to achieve this is to take it away for a few years and then bring it back and do it right. The franchise needs a totally new creative team, some time off, and a cool new approach."

Nothing is in the works, no characters are being cast

A Paramount Pictures source is denying rumors that have circulated in the last couple days that the studio is preparing a Star Trek film that will feature Capt. Jean-Luc Picard, Capt. James T. Kirk and Capt. Jonathan Archer together.
"You're going to see this a lot right now," the source said. "Without anything announced, you're going to see speculation everywhere. But unless you hear it from someone actually involved, don't believe it, because it likely isn't true."

The recent rumor first reared its head with a news site called CanMag, and quickly was picked up by other sites, including the Bring Back Kirk campaign that mentioned it in its most recent mailing. In the story, Paramount has trashed the idea of a prequel film based on "Starfleet Academy" and have instead decided to move forward with a project that would include the captains from the original series, "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and the failed "Star Trek: Enterprise," actors William Shatner, Patrick Stewart and Scott Bakula.

However, pulling off such a feat would be difficult, to say the least. Getting all three actors' schedules to mesh would be problematic in of itself, especially with Shatner now heavily involved in network television (on ABC's "Boston Legal"), and Stewart in his film and stage career.

"Paramount has only asked for one script, and yes, they are deciding whether or not that's the direction they want to go," the source said. "Erik (Jendresen's) script met with mixed reaction, but it has nothing to do with the quality. It has more to do with disagreements among those who are in decision-making capacities as far as it (Star Trek) is concerned. There are no other ideas on the table at this time."

Bryan Singer, known for his director work with the X-Men films as well as the upcoming "Superman" movie, has expressed an interest in taking a leadership role in a Star Trek movie. Soon after that, Singer's friend and fellow X-Men alum Patrick Stewart, also started to express some interest in returning to Star Trek, which some believe was related to Singer's comments.

The source, however, says that there have been absolutely no talks between Singer and Paramount.

"It just hasn't happened, and I don't know if it would happen," the source said. "Bryan is a very talented guy, but he's also a very busy guy. There's a lot he has tackle in the coming months. Scratch that, the coming years."

Whether or not there will be another Star Trek film, and what it will be about, mos t likely won't come until after the dust has settled from the Viacom split and the merging of DreamWorks assets into the company, the source said. Trying to get Paramount back on the winning track at the box office is a top priority, and resurrecting struggling franchises just isn't part of the mix right now.

Of course, even though this has come from a trusted source of SyFy Portal, it has not been officially confirmed by Paramount or Viacom, and should be treated as any rumor would. However, one last thing to note is that the proposed Jendresen Star Trek movie, according to reports as well as his own statements to both SyFy Portal and a British magazine, does not center around Starfleet Academy like CanMag's report suggests.....

Are We Going to Have More Star Trek Soon, Or Not?
There's been a lot of speculation recently that there could be another Star Trek movie in the works, despite Patrick Stewart's claims when Insurrection tanked that there wouldn't be another Next Generation movie -- or any Trek movie -- in the foreseeable future. Data's not really dead, after all, and the actors still look great, so, why not?

But now comes a report from Dreamwatch magazine (via SciFiPulse) that Doug Mirabello, personal assistant to Rick Berman, that no how, no way, is there any Trek film in development. Erik Jendresen's spec script has been nixed, and there's no validity to claims that Tom Hanks might want to make a Trek movie.

However, let's remember who's talking here. It may well be that there is a film future for Trek that simply doesn't involve Rick Berman, whose contracted control over the franchise is hardly permanent. Even Mirabello himself acknowledges that "there’s a chance that someone else at Paramount is planning something huge and keeping us out of the loop. "

Time will tell...

Star Trek The Next Generation star Patrick Stewart revealed, in several recent interviews, that there are serious plans for another Star Trek movie featuring the TNG cast, plus characters from various Trek series."Weighty people in Hollywood have come up with a very interesting proposition." he said "But they told me it was still two, three or four years down the road, by which time I would only be able to sit in the captain's chair and not have the energy to get out of it!"

Now, producer Rick Berman tries to set the record straight in brief statements to the british Star Trek Magazine. "If you notice, the stories say 'names important people in Hollywood,' but that's not people at Paramount, I don't think," said Berman. As to Patrick Stewart reprising the role of Captain Jean-Luc Picard in the proposed TNG movie. "I have no idea what that's all about. I’ve read that he says he's open to doing another movie and then I’ve read he's said 'I'm too old to do another movie.' So I have no idea what that is. And anything I'd say to speculate would be silly."

Berman did not confirm or deny the report from his personal assistant that the Erik Jendresen Star Trek The Beginning script had been canned.
