Bryan Singer Wants STAR TREK (Insert Sarcastic Comment Here)

#1 Post by AndyDursin »

Take this for what it's worth: I'd like to see how Singer fares with Superman before he takes his color-draining style to the Star Trek series.

Not sure I could stomach a John Ottman Star Trek score, however...one UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY was enough for me :)

If there’s one man that might be able to breath lungs into the dying corpse of ”Star Trek” it’s blockbuster boy Bryan Singer.

The “Superman” and “X-Men” helmer tells Sci Fi Wire that he’s very keen on filling the Enterprise tank up and give it a spin around the Nexus.

"We're huge Trekkies. And we've always talked about what we would do, and what would I do, if I were to make a film in that universe”, says Singer.

"Again, you know, it's the same thing: X-Men, Superman, Logan's Run, all these things: There are these incredible universes, really," Singer said, adding: "You kind of wish you could play in them all. I mean, I got to do a cameo in the last Star Trek film; that was a thrill. I got to be on the Enterprise when it was under attack."

As for what he would do in his version of a Star Trek movie? "[That's] a longer story," he said. "It would involve ... it would be big. It would be very big."

Meanwhile, some good news for those who loathed the idea of the next “Trek” movie being a prequel.

According to Patrick Stewart, that’s no longer the plan. According to him, you’ll indeed see Jean Luc-Picard and the cast of “The Next Generation” back on the holodeck.

“About four months ago at a meeting in Los Angeles the subject was raised quite seriously from a very interesting point of view. I have been saying for four years now that it's over. No fantasies about it coming back, the space suits have been hung up for good. But there are weighty people in Hollywood who are very interested in one more run around the holodeck. There are serious plans. I was told this may happen two or three years down the road, by which time I'll be able to sit again in the captain's chair, but then again, it's not all that far away and if I'm in good shape I'd love to do it", he tells

Hmmm.. Patrick Stewart BETTER be in good shape when the time comes! :)

I agree with you Andy- let's see what he does with Superman first. However, if he does get involved somewhere down the line with Star Trek, I have no real objections. Keep Rick Berman out of it. I'm intrigued about what the story would be- and I am happy to see that the NG characters would be involved b/c I think it's a shame that their "contribution" to the Star Trek movie legacy ended so poorly with NEMESIS. They deserve better-I am a big fan of TNG series and love their characters.

They need people that know Trek and truly love it to resurrect it otherwise just leave it be.
