"The hope is to have a fresh 'Star Trek' movie, though [Paramount] has moved on from the idea of bringing back Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and the rest of the ensemble from the J.J. Abrams reboot."

  The spirit of Star Trek is incompatible with Paramount’s new MAGA politics, it will be ruined.

    I don’t think it’s that straightforward. They just gave the South Park guys half a billion dollars, and re-upped Jon Stewart for another year.

    The CBS News division is a tire fire right now, but I don’t think there have been signs of creative interference in the studios.

    You know, yet.

    Star Trek: Section 31 is proof they've already started. Dreadful.

    @etherphon @Kirk Didn't that already happen?

  With Ellison in control, we might finally get that all-white, all-male Starfleet that non-fans have been begging for

    Whelp, guess that rules out a DS9 movie…

    As opposed to the TV series which has to tick every ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation checkbox. No disabled in Star Fleet? (crispy Captain Pike doesn’t count).

      I mean isn’t “the future is for everyone” kind of a major theme in Star Trek?

  I really liked Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto and enjoyed the first two movies. The first one far more than the second though.

  The second had what I felt were unnecessary linked to their prequels and it’s also what the worst parts of Craig’s Bond and Solo were as well.

  I don’t think they embodied the spirit of Star Trek though, but I was hoping they could have worked those out.

  Nice to see they are still working a Trek movie, and also nice to see (IMO) that it could be connected to the main timeline.

    I am all for new Trek, but they need to fuck right off with the prequels.

    Every studio: “What if we instead just go back and write ourselves into a corner and risk pissing people off by breaking continuity.”

      ? it doesn’t say anything about prequels?

  Star Trek is dead with the new owners. Gene Roddenberry and Lucy Ball wouldn’t continue under a fascist control.

  that's a shame, i always really liked Pine's Kirk in particular. but i guess it was also inevitable as soon as Spock showed up in Disco with a new actor

  the rest of the article is... harrowing, to say the least. Trek feels like the elephant in the room at Paramount right now- you'd think Ellison would think that "un-woke-ifying" Trek would be an easy way to score points with the White House right now, but so far it's been business as usual

    I have a long list of things I disliked about the JJ Abrams movies, but the casting was certainly nowhere on it.

    Honestly, I’d take this with a small grain of salt.

    I don’t doubt Variety’s reporting, but this amounts to a bullet point in a larger article, and while I’m sure they’ve “moved on” from whatever they had cooking, I think it’s also possible that they could develop another project with that crew, if they have a script that they like well enough.

    We’ll see what happens - it’s been years of them being unable to get a project going, and I don’t expect that to change any time soon.
