Earlier this month, development on Star Trek 14 started internally. Warner Bros. want Terry Matalas to have full creative control. Paramount has arranged story meetings for the creatives involved in the Star Trek franchise and they’re pushing for Sonequa Martin-Green to be the main lead.
Various Star Trek writers have presented several ideas, but there’s a consensus on the main set-up.
>the movie is set primarily in the late 24th century, specifically 2384
>characters from all current shows join forces to defeat an old threat
>they receive aid from legacy characters from across 60 years of Star Trek
However, each writer has presented their own pitch.
>Matalas: the movie is centered around Riker and the USS Titan. The plot involves the invasion of the galaxy by the Iconians. Matalas wants more emphasis on legacy characters such as Janeway, as well as nods to Star Trek Online lore. The movie would be titled ‘Star Trek Legacy’.
>Kurtzman: Captain Michael Burnham of the USS Discovery follows a powerful reality-bending foe into the past using its spore drive and ends up in the 24th century.
>McMahan: the return of the aliens from TNG’s Conspiracy. McMahan’s ideas build mostly on Matalas’ premise but emphasize a more irreverent tone. He also suggested a new character, Runa Voke, a female alien bounty hunter who first discovers the aliens’ scheme, joins Starfleet and becomes a love interest to Tawny Newsome’s character.
Jenny Lumet and Aaron Waltke were also present during the meeting but have not pitched any ideas.
>Warner Bros
how do you frick up this early in the post?
Warner Bros. is going to purchase Paramount.
No they're not. They're considering a merger but nothing is official and they have literally nothing to do with Paramount.
Are you insinuating that someone would go into an anonymous Moldovan tinsmithing forum and tell tall tales?
Who would do such a thing?
iconians should be the aliens from conspiracy, why would we assume they are purely humanoid
These all sound shit.
>negress lead in a franchise famous for charismatic males
>ANOTHER FRICKING "EPIC" MARVEL-STYLE CROSSOVER
Why are those frickers so creatively bankrupt? Who would even want to watch this slop?
DOA
>STD
so bad they needed 2 years to recut after being canceled
>PIC
so bad they had to completely trash everything they set up to do a fake tng reunion
>LD
a fricking parody cartoon
>SNW
so bad they had to resort to gimmicks like musicals and crossing over with a fricking parody cartoon
>PRO
so good they had to remove it from the nutrek lineup and sell it to netflix
but lets do a crossover special anyway
>SNW
so bad they
For real.
The only thing the new Star Trek writers can do is parody and high school musical shit.
The best compliment I can give SNW is that is just decent while PIC and STD are actively terrible television.
>Sonequa Martin-Green to be the main lead.
I'm sorry sir, but your unborn movie is dead
Tarantino co-wrote a Trek 14 script. Based on a Piece of the Action. It would've been the best Trek film. And we will never see it.
I thought it was based on Yesterday's Enterprise.
The best thing they could do for a new Star Trek movie is actually a brand new story with entirely new characters on a new 5 year mission - and the energy and optimism of TOS/TNG. Set it unbound by current lore in the 25th century. Ignore disco and any other timeline shenanigans from past series. But they won't. It'll be Kirk, Spock etc same old same old flashy reboot garbage
A movie is a terrible place to be introducing new characters.
The way the franchise always worked is that the shows set the groundwork, and then the movies were these big special effects extravaganzas, where the audience got to reunite with the characters they knew from the show.
The problem at this point, is the last show that really had any cultural relevancy was Voyager, and even that was longer ago than I want to think about and the cast are getting on the older side.
I guess the wise thing to do would be to focus on Picard's son from Picard S3(which I hear was okay), as the main character, and then a cross section of legacy characters like, I dunno, Worf, Julian Bashir, Seven of Nine, and a hologram of Captain Archer just kind of hanging out, and give Shatner something small to do while he's still alive.
Star Trek, just like Star Wars, will never be good again.
Let it go.
But where will I get my space fix?
Just get hit hard in the head to get amnesia and then watch old Star Trek for the first time again. Repeat until death.
I'm actually a tourist here, only watched the first 6 movies and 2 episodes from TOS so far
Star Trek, just like Star Wars, was never THAT good to begin with. Let it go.
The Discovery gets destroyed and the entire crew dies in the first scene. The rest of the movie is a who-dunnit crime drama set in the Star Trek universe.
Throughout the story, some of the non-white and angry female characters get killed by the bad guy, because they got too close to the truth.
The bad guy is a an ugly, openly gas, black, trans-woman with a missing arm who is just a red-shirt and only got into Starfleet because her drug addicted parents faked some papers for him. He got mad at the crew of the discovery because he felt that their constant complaining about him was somehow racially motivated, even though, in reality, he was just an incompetent butthole.
Admiral Jonathan Archer launches the NEW USS Enterprise NCC-1701 under the command of Captain Robert April. The maiden voyage is interrupted by the Temporal Cold War.
Different points in time and we finally see NCC-1701-J. The Temporal Cold War erases all Star Trek from 2009 onwards.
>Warner Bros. want Terry Matalas to have full creative control
reading those pitches, they're right
pitches are for b***hes. PIC sucked. matalas is responsible. therefore matalas sucks
>Warner Bros. want Terry Matalas to have full creative control.
Brah WB has no say in anything Paramount does until the check clears unless the film is going to be a coproduction.
>take on billions of debt
>clear anti trust
>double down on nutrek failures
somehow doubling down on nutrek isnt the least likely thing to happen
>Janeway
everything is better with kathryn janeway
matalas' idea is the best one
its all shit
How can they have a film with a Legacy of Star Trek characters?.. They're all fricking old, fat & decrepit.
A cute Chinese Canadian woman living in toronto joins starfleet where she falls in love with two tall white blond officers. Chad Phaserwiener is an up and coming officer from a good family who loves and respects her, but Chad Darkphaserwiener has a fricked up violent past and makes her pusy tingle. Will she find love IN SPACE?
This is what you're going to get and you're going to be happy.
This is what you get when you don’t take your schizophrenia medication
That is what you get when you hire women to write scifi.
>Kurtzman: Captain Michael
I'm out.
Trek is now paralyzed by the same shit killing Star Wars, this obsession with rehashing the same few characters over and over again. Why write a series that's new and could fall when you could just pump out more fan-service turds. It's like the current producers know how shit their writing is. And now they're just tearing pages out of Marvel's book.
Star Wars got killed by directors and writers not truly understanding why people enjoyed those movies beyond the surface level elements.
