The Next Star Trek Movie

Nitcentral's Bulletin Brash Reflections: ClassicTrek: The Classic Trek Sink: The Next Star Trek Movie

The next Trek movie is scheduled to be released on June 9, 2023.
Here's a couple paragraphs from an article on trektoday.com:

"Last year, Noah Hawley was developing a Star Trek film and the plans were well-advanced but a personnel change at Paramount brought in Emma Watts who canceled the project. That always happens with a change of scenery at a studio, everything you think you’ve got set up. You know what I’m pointing towards here – Star Trek at Paramount – and a brilliant kind of new reinvention of such a major franchise. And then someone comes in and the whole thing stalls, or things happen. We were on the runway. There was major casting that we were in the middle of. We had a production schedule and I was getting ready to go to Australia. And then, as you said, new management. I guess in retrospect, what surprised me is not that Emma Watts came in and said, ‘Are you people crazy? This is an untested crew. This is an original idea. We don’t know if this is going to work or not work."

Two things; 1; 'a brilliant kind of new reinvention' and 2; 'Are you people crazy?'
That sounds kinda scary-- we may have been spared a bad movie. A new reinvention is Star Trek sounds horribly like Discovery. There's no word about the plot or characters, so it's hard to judge it, but it sure seems like they wanted to veer away from what we know as Star Trek and just slap the name on it, and tell us, 'This is how we see Star Trek-- not those old versions." And for the writer to be called 'crazy'? Yikes.
Disaster averted, if you ask me.

Amen

Like so many other franchises, Star Trek has become a victim of the 21st Century Communism called Woke.

One only has to look at the modern shows to see that.

Actual TOS for me ends with Star Trek VI: TUC.

For me, Trek ends with ENT, in 2005.

Well, the next one is supposedly in the works again, but hopefully not the Noah Hawley thing revealed above.
And since it's supposed to be the fourth Kelvin Universe movie, I wonder if the creators are going ahead with that crew as a way of saying,
"You thought this version was bad or broke too many rules? Well, now that you've seen 'Discovery' and "Picard', how do you like us now?! Not that bad, after all, huh?!"

At least the Kelvin movies are up front that they are taking place in another reality.

Unlike the Kurtzman abominations, which keep trying to convince us that they are taking place in Trek Reality Prime.

Hold on, what happened to
The part of "The Movies" section in
ClassicTrek that discussed the 3
Kelvin Timeline films
The 2009 Star Trek,
Star Trek: Into Darkness &
Star Trek: Beyond, the boards for
Those 3 Movies were up several days ago , what happened

They've been moved over to the science fiction/fantasy section of the Movies thread.
I agree with it, since it's called 'Star Trek', but it's based on the show, not a continuation with the original cast, like Wrath of Khan was.
I prefer my Star Trek threads covering 1965 to 1991 separate from the others.
