New Star Trek Movie ? Shatner, Stewart, Bakula - Spock ?

[stephentracey]

Star Trek captains William Shatner, Patrick Stewart and Scot Bakula are set to join forces in a new movie.<br /><br />The trio will reportedly star in the unnamed film that will be set in the 'mirror universe,' which was featured in both the Next Generation and Enterprise TV series.<br /><br />An insider tells movie gossip website CanMag.com, "Apparently Shatner was in talks to do a guest role on Enterprise, but it didn't work out. The ideas for the episode will now be incorporated into a movie."<br /><br />Do U think they will get Spock..I hope so <br /><br />Your thoughts please<br /><br />

Well, a Mirror Universe story is about the only thing they haven't tried in the movie franchise. But personally for me; I think that next to time travel, the Mirror universe thing in Star Trek is VERY over-used. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p>One Percent of Federal Funding For Space: America <strong><em><u>CAN</u></em></strong> Afford it!!  LEO is a <strong><em>Prison</em></strong> -- It's time for a <em><strong>JAILBREAK</strong></em>!!</p> </div>

Some of the Shatner co-penned novels of the last few years have in fact featured mirror universe elements.<br /><br />Wayne <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>"1) Give no quarter; 2) Take no prisoners; 3) Sink everything."  Admiral Jackie Fisher</p> </div>

Janeway would kick Kirk's butt.<br /><br />Or, perhaps more to the point: Kate Mulgrew would wipe the floor with Shatner. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font color="#0000ff"><strong>Just tell the truth and let the chips fall...</strong></font> </div>

Is this just a rumor? I don't see anything on Startrek.com about this.<br />

They should really cut off into something different. I like most of the characters, but these endless iterations of the same thing are getting tiresome.<br /><br />Enterprise wasn't anything different. Just a replay of all of the other series.<br /><br />How about something like this: following the crew of a small Federation tramp cargo ship, out on the frontier. They get to see the seamy side of the Federation, as it really is - not the highly polished, just-so world of the Enterprise. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>

I wouldn't mind a Picard story, similar to that episode number 2 of series 4, Family i think it was called, set on earth and hardly any space action. I'd like to see a graceful end to the Picard character, such as him having a son to continue his family line after his brother and nephew were killed. They wouldn't even have to call it Star Trek.

I remember in one of the books I referred to earlier, Kirk interacted with the Mirror version of Janeway...<br /><br />Wayne <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>"1) Give no quarter; 2) Take no prisoners; 3) Sink everything."  Admiral Jackie Fisher</p> </div>

I still havn't watched the originals.

It may be hard for you in a way. Those of us that are old enough to have seen them in either original run or syndication in the 1960's - we remember when things looked so futuristic, and the special effects were less - old - to us.<br /><br />And the context of the times, a war going on, a potential for the cold war to turn hot - a vision of a future when makind had come together make it perhaps more special than it might seem to someone seeing it now, for the first time.<br /><br />Wayne <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>"1) Give no quarter; 2) Take no prisoners; 3) Sink everything."  Admiral Jackie Fisher</p> </div>

Kirk:<br /><br />"We're human beings, with the blood of a million savage years on our hands. But we can stop it. We can admit that we're killers, but we're not going to kill today.

I do believe this was Kirk at his most eloquent -- and even his detractors concede he was a silver-tongued devil.<br /><br />And yes, this particular episode has Cold War angst written all over it. I've had to dig it from deep memory, but I believe I recall that the Enterprise encounters a solar system where folks on two of the planets are fighting a war of holocaust.<br /><br />But it's all computer-driven war games with no actual shooting. They worked it out as a way to not destroy infrastructure, while still carrying on their war. The downside: when the computers reported an individual as a casualty of war, that individual was expected to voluntarily report to an extermination center poste haste.<br /><br />Things get complicated for Kirk when one of the wargame computers reports that the Enterprise has been caught in the interplanetary crossfire (although it is, in fact, still happily orbiting) -- and that all the crew should accordingly report to be exterminated.<br /><br />Pretty much nobody who was alive and walking around in the 1960s went more than a day without considering the prospect of nuclear war in some context or other. Nobody who watched that Trek episode would have failed to reflect on the fact that the U.S. and U.S.S.R. regularly conducted similar computer simultions to gauge the effects of nuclear war.<br /><br />Also, I couldn't help remembering it later when President Cater considered developing the so-called "neutron bomb" -- designed to use penetrating radiation to inflict maximum casualties while preserving infrast <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font color="#0000ff"><strong>Just tell the truth and let the chips fall...</strong></font> </div>

Yep, that is the episode - the same one that gave us the line:<br /><br />"Death, destruction, disease, horror, that's what war is all about Annon. That's what makes it a thing to be avoided.

And from a 60's perspective, who could forget (I am doing this from memory, so it may be a little off):<br /><br />Bones, did you ever hear of the doomsday machine?<br /><br />No, I'm a doctor, not a mechanic<br /><br />Its a...weapon, built primarily as a bluff, its never meant to be used, so strong that it could destroy both sides in a war. Something like the old H-bomb was supposed to be. Thats what I think this is, a doomsday machine, used in a war countless years ago. They don't exist any more, but the machine is still destroying.<br /><br />Wayne <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>"1) Give no quarter; 2) Take no prisoners; 3) Sink everything."  Admiral Jackie Fisher</p> </div>

The appropriately acronymned doctrine of Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD)... those were the days.<br /><br />Thoughts of it were the silent ghost that haunted our lives. And Star Trek -- like all great pop art -- reflected on some level what people were talking about and were most concerned about.<br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font color="#0000ff"><strong>Just tell the truth and let the chips fall...</strong></font> </div>

<blockquote><font class="small">In reply to:</font><hr /><p>Kirk is my hero, but Shatner is a fat old fart. He better go on a diet. The girdles never really covered up the flab.<p><hr /></p></p></blockquote><br /><br />Geeze. I swear to you that I'm not trying to start some sort of ongoing internet debate here for which there can be no resolution - but, come on now.<br /><br />People get older. Mr. Shatner is no exception. He deserves infinite respect for all of his hard work.

The man is 74 years old; give him a break already!! I hope I look as good as him at that age.
