Patrick Stewart Says STAR TREK XI May Feature Characters from Various TREK Series

Features

By GustavoLeao / 05:18, 19 January 2006 / Star Trek: Nemesis

STAR TREK THE NEXT GENERATION star Patrick Stewart has just been interviewed on ITV's THIS MORNING show in a prelude to the UK premiere of his new show ELEVENTH HOUR.



He was again questioned about the rumours of a new TNG film. He was tight lipped but did say there was "great interest" in getting the TNG cast together again as well as including characters from the other series.

Stewart reveals, "It has been raised. Apparently there's interest in bringing THE NEXT GENERATION cast together with actors from different STAR TREK series."

Then they asked him if this meant Captain James T. Kirk would return, and he replied that he hoped so because William Shatner was a good friend. "I would love that. I'm very fond of William Shatner." he said.

Stewart also talked about X-MEN 3 and his play A CHRISTMAS CAROL. 'I've just finished a run in the West End of A CHRISTMAS CAROL and I'm now looking forward to a year in Warwickshire, Stratford upon Avon, being a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company for a whole season of plays. I don't see one genre as being more significant than the other, although I'm very excited about Stratford because that was a huge part of my early career, and it meant so much to me. One of the reasons I became an actor was to do that kind of work, I didn't become an actor to work in film or television, I had no ambitions for that, it just kind of happened along the way. I think X-MEN 3 might be the best of the trilogy. It's very emotional and exciting.'

Thanks to Bring Back Kirk for the news.

i could not agree with you more on this, Trek has taken a Huge blow by being off the air for as long as it has now and they will not manage to gain back all the semi-fans with one giant movie. i think that this will put the nail in the coffin for Trek..

dont get me wrong, id love to see this in a 2 part episode or a small mini series but as a brand new move that will have to compete with what ever else is at the boxoffice at the time, its got no chance! Nemisis got its ass handed to it because it should never been a movie, it was an ok episode, but a movie.. good heavens no!

Trek is a niche market that will not break into the mainstream for at least another 10-20 years, when someone with a slightly less greedy view of the series will come and reinvent Trek into something that is new, appealing and well thought out.

they would be better off with baby steps than a Massive Giant Leap.
