Jonathan Frakes is Very Hopeful that Picard or Other Next Generation Character Will Appear in a Future Star Trek Movie

Features

By GustavoLeao / 16:19, 4 December 2012 / Star Trek: Nemesis

NBC posted a new interview with actor director Jonathan Frakes and here are excerpts.

Congratulations on the ongoing celebration of the show's 25th anniversary. It must be a really singular phenomenon to have been a part of it over all these years.

It's surreal that 25 years ago, something is still giving us this gift. I’m off to a convention this weekend to Comic‑Con in New Orleans with all the cast. Just the idea that we still have an audience is astounding to me.

It must have been a real treat to be able to be able to get together with everybody and just really sit down without a giant audience to reminisce for this Blu‑Ray release?

It was wonderful. The add-on, I guess, is on this second season from our Calgary panel, where we were sitting around taking the piss out of each other. It's wonderful. It's candid and it's funny. It's emotional and it’s revealing. It was a great morning. We did it one Sunday morning when we were all in for a convention. It's a pretty special group of people.

Perhaps the J.J. Abrams “Star Trek” films have precluded the notion that the TNG crew might reunite on the screen, at least for a while. Have you guys thought about that, or talked about it?

I am very hopeful. I'm not sure where we would be – I happen to be a fan and a friend of J.J.'s and I think he's rebooted the franchise in the most successful and wonderful way imaginable. And I'm really excited about the second movie. I think maybe some version of what they did with Leonard Nimoy in the first movie would be the way to go: they would pepper in one of us. I would imagine they'd start with Picard if they could. It would involve our usual time travel/quantum anomaly/black hole/some sci‑fi version of how we all get there.

The full interview is here.

Paramount/CBS should make a TNG mini-series! I think it would go over very well, and it does not even need a big budget. Air it on CBS and then sell the DVDs of it with extra stuff. They would make a nice profit!

Can you imagine if there were TWO Trek movies in play... or MORE?

I mean, can you imagine if there were various Marvel characters in the same universe ion the big screen?

Or what if they had done an X-Men prequel movie and continue on with modern-day X-Men or characters therein?

It would be too confusing and ruin Hollywood and America and we'd have to watch DIY and Food Network instead.
