Rick Berman Denies Patrick Stewart Remarks About Star Trek XI

Features

By GustavoLeao / 22:40, 24 March 2006 / Star Trek: Nemesis

Star Trek The Next Generation star Patrick Stewart revealed, in several recent interviews, that there are serious plans for another Star Trek movie featuring the TNG cast, plus characters from various Trek series."Weighty people in Hollywood have come up with a very interesting proposition." he said "But they told me it was still two, three or four years down the road, by which time I would only be able to sit in the captain's chair and not have the energy to get out of it!" (story). In another interview, Stewart revealed that "It has been raised. Apparently there's interest in bringing The Next Generation cast together with actors from different Star Trek series."(story)



Now, producer Rick Berman tries to set the record straight in brief statements to the british Star Trek Magazine. "If you notice, the stories say 'names important people in Hollywood,' but that's not people at Paramount, I don't think," said Berman. As to Patrick Stewart reprising the role of Captain Jean-Luc Picard in the proposed TNG movie. "I have no idea what that's all about. I’ve read that he says he's open to doing another movie and then I’ve read he's said 'I'm too old to do another movie.' So I have no idea what that is. And anything I'd say to speculate would be silly."

Berman did not confirm or deny the report from his personal assistant that the Erik Jendresen Star Trek The Beginning script had been canned.

The original report can be found at Sci Fi Pulse.

Never eh?
He said Voyager would be closer to TOS than TNG & DSN, never happened.
How about that movie that was suppose to be about Romulans but wasn't that convinced him no one was interested in Romulans? Ya, it was called Nemesis, Romulan certainly were in it but it wasn't about them.
Paramount could have said the same about ST:V, Klingons were in it, and since it did poorly I guess that means no one wanted to see Klingons anymore.
Had nothing to do w/ it being a s**ty moive, no not at all.
He said they would push the envelope on Enterprise, that they would bridge the gap to the formation of the Federation, to Kirk's era.
Never happened.
T'Pol's aids? Continuity?
I recall a TV Guide interview where he said they were going to "sex-up" the show to improve it, we just got more air time of T'Pol (starved pushed up big lipped former model) in a boy hair cut in an ugly cat suit (very Vulcan I must say).
Remember how he stated Phlox was an exotic character? Unless you count a pot belly exotic...never saw that either.
How about the Temporal Cold War he said they had 25% worked out that never panned out. Most of the stories about the TCW were writen by other people, some hired after the show started!
Remember the Xindi story line? There was no arc, just ep they'd drop a line into to look like an arc.
Example- In "Twilight" the Xindi were so set on wiping out humanity they followed Phlox for a decade.
The very next ep we found a human colony in the Expanse in Xindi space that the Xindi completly missed.
If there was an arc we would have heard about the colony in "Twilight".
Then there was the sphere builders we never heard about until the exact moment they show up, then the next week we find out they're revered as gods to the Xindi then find out their evil dimension hoping aliens by Daniel (something the never-known-future guy would have known about).
How about the second (actually first) Vulcan ship that T'Pol served on that the ONLY Vulcan ship mentioned to be in the Expanse was looking for (well we found out they were looking for them but not until after the second/first ship was found by Enterprise).
I could sit here all day, that's just what I can think of off the top of my head.
Berman=Liar.
Let me know when he's cleaned out his desk.
