I don't know...
By Sxottlan

Will wonders never cease? It's simply astonishing. I just don't see where they are getting the impression that there's a market for more Trek. After the ratings continue to slide for Enterprise and the dismal failure of the last two films, I just don't understand why they're doing this.

Except that Paramount is starting to really slip when it comes to their feature films. They haven't had a film make over 200 million dollars since M:I-2 and I think they're desperate for a working franchise. Most of their attempts at summer blockbusters recently have been laughable, especially when compared with what Fox, Warner Bros., New Line and Universal have been putting out lately. Since the Tomb Raider films have gone nowhere, they want something and since Trek is still around in some form or another, they think they'll eventually get it right sometime.

As for the story itself, I think it's something that I'd personally be interested in. I'd prefer that they more or less ditch what thrown together history they have for the Romulan Wars, but since the introduction of the never-before-heard-of Remans, I'm sure they'd be fighting them face-to-face instead of the Romulans to keep that little tidbit in line with previously established information. I don't know if they're going to try and do some LOTR trilogy about the war and the eventual founding of the UFP, but it's possible that could be some inspiration.

I have felt for some time now that an original film-only crew might be the way to go, especially if they could net some character actors that don't demand much in the way of pay, perhaps get one fairly well-known actor as the lead and you might create enough curiosity there that it could turn into a modest hit.

I wish them luck, but darn it all if I just don't see their mindset when it comes to this.
