tv echo August 27, 2022 Share August 27, 2022 ‘Star Trek’ Movie Loses Director Matt Shakman (Exclusive) BY AARON COUCH, BORYS KIT AUGUST 26, 2022https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/star-trek-4-loses-director-matt-shakman-2023-movie-1235207049/ Quote Shakman, who was set to helm a Trek movie for Paramount, has dropped out due to scheduling issues as he is jumping to Fantastic Four for Marvel Studios. The movie was a top priority at the Melrose Avenue-based studio and was dated for a Dec. 22, 2023 release. “Matt Shakman is an incredibly talented filmmaker, and we regret the timing didn’t align for him to direct our upcoming Star Trek film,” Paramount Pictures said in a statement. “We are grateful for his many contributions, are excited about the creative vision of this next chapter and look forward to bringing it to audiences all around world.” * * * The next Trek movie has long been in development, with Paramount hoping to reunite Chris Pine and the crew of the rebooted Enterprise that was first introduced in J.J. Abrams’ 2009 film, Star Trek. Zachary Quinto, Simon Pegg, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldaña and John Cho are among the stars, with the crew most recently appearing in 2016’s Star Trek Beyond. * * * A search for a new director will begin immediately although it is unclear at this stage whether the release date will shift.

Anduin October 6, 2023 Share October 6, 2023 From Patrick Stewart's autobiography, he talks about Tom Hardy in Nemesis. Quote "And 'Nemesis,' which came out in 2002, was particularly weak," Stewart wrote. "I didn't have a single exciting scene to play, and the actor who portrayed the movie's villain, Shinzon, was an odd, solitary young man from London. His name was Tom Hardy." "On the evening Tom wrapped his role, he characteristically left without ceremony or niceties, simply walking out of the door," Stewart writes. "As it closed, I said quietly to Brent and Jonathan, 'And there goes someone I think we shall never hear of again.' It gives me nothing but pleasure that Tom has proven me so wrong." Apparently Hardy had a drug problem back then. But he later cleaned up his act and starred in my favourite movie of all time, Mad Max: Fury Road. 1 Link to comment

A movie that had key creatives who had never seen an episode of Trek and whose deviation from TOS themes was hated by Gene Roddenberry, who knew what "real Trek" was. In fact, rumor is he leaked Spock's death to rile up the fans. Some things don't change. Link to comment

Tom Holmberg February 9 Share February 9 A couple of interesting Star Trek books are due out or were recently published: Star Trek: Open a Channel: A Woman's Trek by Nana Visitor Nana Visitor, Star Trek’s Kira Nerys, explores how the series has portrayed and influenced women. Interviews with the stars, writers, producers, and celebrity fans reveal the struggles and triumphs of women both behind and in front of the camera throughout the sixty-year history of Star Trek, and how they have mirrored the experiences of women everywhere. __________ Lost Federations: The Unofficial Unmade History of Star Trek by A. J. Black In Lost Federations: The Unofficial Unmade History of Star Trek, author A. J. Black tells a different story. This is an alternate history of the franchise, one filled with roads not taken, from early 1960s feature-films and spin-offs, the original sequel Star Trek: Phase II in the 1970s, via epic planned movies such as Planet of the Titans and into many untold episodes, arcs and character stories from The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine and Voyager, all the way through to the modern era. Bringing together pre-existing material over decades for the first time in one space, plus some new reflections from Star Trek writers and analysis of how it all fits into the wider cultural trends of the last sixty years, Lost Federations invites you to boldly explore a history you may not already know . . . 1 Link to comment
