Berman, Braga: STAR TREK XI to be New Prequel to Kirk and Feature the Romulan Wars

Features

By Steve Krutzler / 22:56, 8 July 2004 / General Star Trek

In his latest interview with the STAR TREK Communicator, STAR TREK producer Rick Berman elaborates on recent remarks about a "prequel" feature film in development. Berman for the first time says in the new article that the eleventh STAR TREK film will be a prequel set before the time of 'James T. Kirk', but that it will not be related to the fifth television series ENTERPRISE.

Berman's ENTERPRISE partner Brannon Braga let even more loose when discussing the fourth season of the show, according to an excerpt published at TrekToday.

"It's certainly one of the things that we've been discussing," Braga said when asked about future Romulan involvement in the prequel series. "But there's also a prequel feature in development regarding the Romulan Wars, so we might have to stay away from that."

Braga also reportedly says that the series' temporal cold war storyline may come to an end in the beginning of the new season.

"One thing we're discussing is possibly blowing the lid off the Temporal Cold War once and for all," according to the excerpts. "That's probably something we'll do in this first storyline. I can't say that for sure, because we're just getting into it. But I'd really like to resolve that and put a cap on it. It would be a nice thing to do after three seasons of teasing it along."

Apparently he also says that major "intersterllar events" that lead to the founding of the Federation may take place this year, and hinted at something involving the famed Eugenics Wars.

The excerpts can be found here. Stay tuned to TrekWeb for further information and quotes from the magazine. This should be treated as rumor until confirmed.

They haven't given Star Trek fans a reason to care in a very long time. This news isn't going to make fans care and as long as B&B are attached to anything Star Trek related there will continue to be a great deal of skepticism about anything they attempt to do.

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!?

I really hate Star Trek fans at the moment, I mean we've wanted to see the Romulan Wars on screen now for god knows how long. Now they are fucking doing it and you guys are still bitching and moaning. Did I miss something at the last "Hate Star Trek Club" meeting!? What is it you want now, do you suddenly want aimless space wanderings again where the characters don't grow or change!? Argh!

Sorry, I'm bitter, I really want this movie to go on and do well, I want to see the Romulan Wars, mostly I want the fans to care again!



Great strategy. Yell at the fans, insult them, and then wonder why they don't care about Trek anymore. Here's a hint. Because it sucks. "Fans" of Enterprise are the minority, not the majority, simply as evidenced by the legions of people who turned out to watch the pilot and first few episodes then totally abandoned it. Why? Because it sucks!

B&B have completely exhausted all fan goodwill and I know tons of former fans who simply won't return until they're gone. As in completely, hands-off, disconnected from all things Trek. Sure, people have wanted to watch the Romulan Wars for years, but no one really has any faith left in B&B to pull it off. Why? Because everything they've done for the past decade has sucked, continues to suck, and will most likely suck well into the future.
