Nov 23 | Chuck returns to NBC with a special two-hour show on Sunday, Jan 10, 2010, before returning to its regular time slot, Mondays at 8pm on the following night. It's return to prime time television can be attributed to a successful fan renewnal campaign last year. CHUCK is a one-hour, action-comedy series that follows Chuck Bartowski (Zachary Levi, "Less Than Perfect") -- a computer geek who is catapulted into a new career as the government's most vital secret agent. This upcoming season will include some special guest stars, including Brandon Routh of "Superman Returns" who will play CIA agent Daniel Shaw in an episode, and the addition of SUBWAY restaurant as a major advertiser to the show. Chuck averaged a 4.0/6 rating last season, about eight percent better than the recently cancelled "Trauma". Ratings-challenged Heroes moves back an hour when Chuck returns on Monday nights. STAR TREK VOYAGER's Robert Duncan McNeill serves Chuck as a supervising producer and director.

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.

It doesn't matter WHAT Berman has to say, everyone knows he's a liar and will say anything at all.
Oh, what's that sound I hear, is that the clock ticking on Bermans contract?

      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.

There will be no Star Trek until Berman's contract is up. So who cares what he knows, or doesn't know.

Berman on the outs | Report this post to moderator

NOte that he does not say that he knows anything. "I don't think"-- not much of a denial, almost an acknowledgement that there could be something that he is not aware of.

So Berman and Stewart don't talk. He doesn't have any idea if Stewart would be willing to make another movie? So much for the big happy TNG family.

    Thanks for the enthusiasm and your vote of confidence, Mr. B

    Maybe he's holding out for a Voyager-Enterprise-Academy crossover, you know, sort of a worst of all worlds grand tour.

Talk about making a story out of denials and accusations. Seems more like a non-story to me.

To me, truth is not some vague, foggy notion. Truth is real. And, at the same time, unreal. Fiction and fact and everything in between, plus some things I can't remember, all rolled into one big 'thing.' This is truth, to me.

    Yeah - Berman versus Stewart - it is a classic. I am betting on Stewart, since he is a friend of people like Bryan Singer, Shatner and Ralph Winter and hopefully Berman's contract will expire soon.

      That doesn't mean dick. Face it people, there will be no Star Trek XI movie, at least not for awhile. Stewart was just talking in generalities to get a quote. It ain't gonna happen with Berman or anyone else at the helm. Don't make a bloody soap opera out of this -- Berman isn't out of the loop ... Paramount doesn't want to make a Trek movie, period. End of story. Stick a fork in it.

      Yep. I'm almost positive the "people" Stewart referred to is Bryan Singer. He must be willing to do Star Trek again for Singer, but not for Berman.

        This is not an improvement. What does Bryan Singer know about Star Trek? Probably not a dime. This is no better than having someone like Jendresen write a splatter. We have to wait and see.

          Wrong on all counts. New blood is a GOOD thing. It means fresh ideas. Singer is a huge Trek fan and an excellent filmmaker. And Jendersen's script sounded really good. It was a unique approach, and it's a shame that we will never see it.

            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).

          It's from a post way back at Gizmodo.com. One the guys there was having problems with his phone or internet connection. He was talking to Verizon customer service, and trying to get to a level above the phone operator. Apparently whoever he was talking to said his supervisor was Verizon, which he put as the headline of his article.
