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.

In 1979, when venerated director Bob Wise was helming the first Trek movie debacle, little-known director Nick Meyer made "Time After Time," a charming, if inconsequential, film. When he took over in '82 for Wrath of Khan, he became the best director the movies ever had (II and VI, which are the two best IMHO). Fresh blood would be great for the series.

Of course, we're going to need some better writers, too. Any chance we could bring in Ira Behr, or maybe Peter David? We need writers who actually give a crap about the characters (as opposed to that POS John Logan, who couldn't hack it as a derivative soap writer).
