Rick Berman "Very Involved" in "Prequel" Feature Concept, Addresses Trilogy Rumor

Features

The future of the STAR TREK feature film franchise got a glimmer of hope earlier this spring when producer Rick Berman hinted that a project was in the early stages of development that could be termed a "prequel."

The exec still isn't letting fly any more details, but he now says in the latest issue of Dreamwatch magazine in the UK that he is "very involved" in discussions about the idea.

"There is a film concept that is in discussion," Berman tells journalist Ian Spelling. "I am very much involved in it. It's in the very early stages of development, so it's really too early to talk about."

Film specualtion site Ain't It Cool News circulated a rumor earlier this year that an actual trilogy of "prequel" STAR TREK films were being developed at Paramount. Spelling asked Berman specifically about this rumor.

"I can understand why Ain't It Cool News would get information about it being a prequel trilogy," Berman said. "That's not quite correct, although I can understand how someone might misinterpret the information to be that."

Berman reiterates that he is "very much involved" in the project and that calling it a "prequel" is indeed "valid." Previous reports indicated that it was not related to STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE and it appears we're still a ways off from learning anything more substantial about this project.

Why do they have to explain why Archer wasn't mentioned. He just wasn't. That's all there is to it. There was a ship named after him in Nemesis. The USS Archer. That's enough.
