Star Trek: Nemesis Gets the Go Signal

PatJensen writes "Star Trek TNG: Nemesis, the 10th Star Trek movie gets the green light from Paramount today. It will be directed by Stuart Baird, who did Executive Decision, US Marshals and Tomb Raider. Looks to be pretty action packed. Digital Domain (LOTR, Titanic) will be doing the SFX. The movie seems to be based around Romulan conflict with the Federation. " Can't be as bad as Insurrection. At least, I hope not. BTW the first movie is out on DVD now and they did a pretty good job with the re-release.

Stuart Baird did *not* direct "Tomb Raider"

[imac.usr]

That film was made by Simon "I haven't got a fucking clue as to how to edit a close-in action scene" West, the luminary genius behind "Con Air".

Note that he's scheduled to direct the feature-film adaptation of "The Prisoner" as well. God help fans of the original series.

He, Akiva Goldsman, and Nora Ephron should all be made part of the cast of the next "Survivor" series so that they can't do any more damage in Hollywood for at least a year or so.

Rumored to be last TNG movie...

[Masem]

I've heard rumors to the effect that this is the last planned TNG movie, at least based on the fact that Patrick Stewart no longer wants to be in that role (not that he doesn't dislike it, but he wants to return to stage work). Same rumors suggest that this isn't necessarily the end of the Trek series of movies, and future movies may either take place in the mid-series of DS9 or Voyager, or possibly an aglomeration of plots that would occur after Voyager returns.

Anyone else heard similar? They *are* just internet rumors, after all...

Re:Bring back Wil Wheaton!

[Foochar]

According to a statement made by Wil Wheaton at www.wilwheaton.nethe will have at least a small role in the movie. wilwheaton.net is down at the moment so here is what I can recal from his comments. When they taped The Weakest Link episdoe Wil made a comment to Levar Burton about wanting to come back and give the character some closure, but that he didn't feel like Rick Berman and the other producers liked him. Apparently Levar went to bat for Wil because they decided to give him at least a small role. According to Wil he has been fitted for a uniform and has possesion of a script with the confidential stamped in red on the top every page. I would provide links to wil's site, but for some reason Wil has had to put the moose back out front again.
