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.

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

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.



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.

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.



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.
