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

Features

By TRexx / 09:05, 30 November 2005 / General Star Trek

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.

I'm sorry, maybe the fanatics here are enthused by Shatner but as intriguing as that guy is, I don't think ANYONE will be lining up to see the bloated Denny Crane at the theatres.

Oh yeah. Bringing a 70 year old man back from the dead is the only way to reinvigorate interest.

What a BAD idea.
