Well now, isn't THAT interesting....
By NX-47

Here we have two seemingly conflicting scenarios:

Despite plans at Paramount for a TREK prequel movie featuring an all-new cast....

and

But there are weighty people in Hollywood who are very interested in one more run around the holodeck. There are serious plans.

It's still too soon to make any real conclusions here, but it does sound promising that TPTB are not letting their cash cow lay fallow for too long. It does seem, based on Stewarts' comments, that the suits do, in fact, highly value Star Trek, and will bring it back. Not that I ever doubted that it wouldn't be back.

I'm sure that Paramount is probably in the 'Testing the Waters" stage of development... this early in the game, they're most likely exploring the viability of moving forward with an established, known quantity (a TNG film) versus an entirely new direction in a pseudo-prequel film ("BEGINNING" would happen between First Contact and ENT, presumably).

Perhaps they're watching the fan boards (like TrekWeb) to see how folks feel about both ideas. It would make sense to me... if done properly, it wouuld constitute free market research and focus group testing.

I'm eagerly awaiting more development on this... watching things unfold over the next months/years will be real fun! :-)
