xenomor comments on New ‘Star Trek’ Movie In Works At Paramount From Jonathan Goldstein & John Francis Daley

I’m happy to hear that something new will happen. Hopefully we can break free of all the modern Trek from the last decade. I seriously hope this isn’t going to be yet another nostalgia play where they re-cast the original characters. Please, write something new and explore that amazing universe with new compelling characters, ships, planets and science fiction stories. It would be incredible if they advanced the timeframe to completely break away from the temptation to loop in existing characters or retcon stuff. The last thing we need is another cool and modern interpretation of the 60s aesthetic. Let’s move on and be creative.

Have you heard of Discovery?

Also, from the article:

sources say Goldstein and Daley’s film is a completely new take on the Star Trek universe and not connected to any previous or current television series, movie or prior movie development projects.

So, it’s good, right?

Discovery advanced the time frame only after it did all the TOS related stuff. Also, it had quite a bit of good sci-fi ideas and a number of cool characters and design, but the writing and dialogue was so utterly cringeworthy at times that it just cannot be taken seriously.

I’m first to admit they did make mistakes; to their defence, so did every other series, and there was the pandemic which screwed with everything
