Patrick Stewart on X-MEN 3 Role and Serious Plans for STAR TREK XI

Features

By GustavoLeao / 04:31, 2 December 2005 / Star Trek: Nemesis

Empire Online caught up with STAR TREK THE NEXT GENERATION star Patrick Stewart who talked a bit about Professor Xavier in upcoming X-MEN 3 movie.



"Well we lost two directors! But everything was fine when I left the set. I've finished my filming now and it's all looking great," he said

About his role in the new sequel, he said, "You'd need about an hour to hear all about it. There are going to be some changes. Professor X is now very, very startling, very surprising. It's all very exciting."

The original report can be found here.

Stewart also told UK's Teletext that plans are afoot to make another TNG feature film for the big screen, as revealed this week by SFX Magazine (story)

Despite plans at Paramount for a TREK prequel movie featuring an all-new cast -- currently titled STAR TREK: THE BEGINNING, Stewart said, "About four months ago at a meeting in Los Angeles the subject was raised quite seriously from a very interesting point of view. I have been saying for four years now that it's over. No fantasies about it coming back, the space suits have been hung up for good."

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

"I was told this may happen two or three years down the road, by which time I'll be able to sit again in the captain's chair, but then again, it's not all that far away and if I'm in good shape I'd love to do it."

Thanks to mrs_sideshow_bob at the TrekBBS for the info.

As much as I liked Nemesis, and I di. It was a long shot from being a good movie, it was a halfway decent movie at best...I just truly hope that Paramount, after having viewed Nemesis and wanting to make a new one, has the sense to shoot for greatness this time.

And having an A-list director, like Bryan Singer pushing for it, is definitely a good idea. I'm not that familiar with X-Men but do know that the guy will help more than he'll hurt.

I dont know anyone that wants to see a prequel. it's time to start listening to the fans for a change. Something they havent done in a decade.
They would be smart to read the message boards and gage the fans. How long have fans been unhappy with Trek and they havent cared???

Oh brother....

This is a nightmare. It really is. The fact is Berman is just grasping for straws. Just blows my mind.

There once was a man named Scorned,
whose posts were more offensive than porn.
He posted one too many,
got kicked out on his fanny,
and all the while he had been warned.

This is awesome. I never thought we'd see them again. So long as we're having wishes granted ...

I'd like to see the 1701-E demolished in the opening minutes in some sort of crippling disaster for the Federation. Have the gang regroup on a hastily rechristened Galaxy-class 1701-G and let the asskicking begin.

The TNG universe just hasn't been the same since 1701-D was foolishly thrown away. The ship was as integral a character to the show as the original Enterprise was to TOS.

If Kirk isn't coming back, then the least they could do is correct the second-biggest blunder in Generations.
