Patrick Stewart Reveals Serious Meetings and Money Aimed at Next STAR TREK Movie

SFX Magazine was in attendance at the UK press launch today for ITV's new television series ELEVENTH HOUR, where there was a surprise guest appearance by star Patrick Stewart.

In addition to discussion of the upcoming X-MEN 3, Stewart revealed the possibility of his role in the next STAR TREK film.

"Following the box office failure of NEMESIS, Stewart's been saying he believed the franchise was dead in the water for ages," reports SFX. "But it seems there's been a turnaround, because he revealed there've been lots of serious meetings lately about a new film, and there are money men who want it to happen."

Stewart noted that he's booked for the next 16 months with the Royal Shakespeare Company, so he wouldn't be available as Jean-Luc Picard until after that commitment.

Read the complete report at the SFX news site.


Amazon.com has compiled STAR TREK: The Motion Pictures DVD Collection, Special Edition (also in Canada) as a testament to the enduring goodwill of Gene Roddenberry's optimistic sci-fi concept.

RE: a TNG movie wouldnt pull in crowds unless it was part of a crossov | Report this post to moderator

I wouldn't mind seeing a TNG or Titan movie, but I'm hoping they can spin it off into a new series.


I'd like it if they did a TNG-era movie that takes place at the END of a war---maybe the second Romulan War---as result of a destabilazation post-Shinzon. Give the Remans the exploration they deserve, and maybe put one in the cast (a la the Red King). The crew heroically ends the war, and a new cast of characters is taken from that movie to spin off into a new show. I think the movie needs to push into a new series, and I'd like to move FORWARD, not backward. No more prequels.

I think the person who posted about Picard as sort of an Admiral directing the war was a good idea. Tuvok is a good tie-in, too. You could even pull Sisko back to Earth like he was when he worked for Admiral Leyton with a simple throwaway line like, "Did those three years you spent with those wormhole aliens that can see into the future tell you if this [plan they just discussed] in gonna work?" Sisko: "Not exactly." This clarifies he's been home for a while without having to really put his return on-screen.
