Commander Shran returns to Andoria to reenact the events that led to the forming of the Federation

Oh great, another recast of the TOS crew, but they’re all preteens hijacking a spaceship and fighting preteen Romulans together? Also, they form this deep and meaningful bond that has to be reset/memory wiped by the end of the movie yet somehow steer them onto a shared future?

That’s…a lot of assumptions not in any way supported by the linked article.
ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 9 months ago
To be fair, it’s also not supported by any other articles.
halm@leminal.space 9 months ago
Not assumption, just worst fears when they give us so little to go on after two or three aborted or stalled movies 🙂

Wasn’t First Contact the origin movie?

We can go even deeper

If it’s dystopian and not utopic, they can keep it and hopefully lose money. Star Trek isn’t Star Wars.

I see we’re reporting on reports now

And commenting about it, too!

Tbh I’d rather just more content from the modern age of Star Trek.
Corgana@startrek.website 9 months ago
There’s no evidence it’s not! First Contact was a TNG movie after all.

Looking around online, further rumors seem to lean towards it being a Federation origin film.
That would put us in ENT era, but I don’t see them following the existing canon. Maybe following a non-Enterprise ship to recruit an early but non-founding planet. The origin in this case being about how the Federation first expanded.
The other option could be picking up right after First Contact. How mankind adapts to learning about the Vulcans.
I just don’t see either of those films getting greenlit.

the movie is just a long take of a young James T. Kirk driving a convertible while listening to the Beastie Boys. The movie ends as he drives it into a canyon.

Wow something less inspired than “origins” was difficult to come up with.
Wasn’t origins also JarJar Abrams’ movie?

It’s going to be about the Post-Atomic Horror… Or else! Give me my campy Kangaroo court.

Just rewatched Into Darkness. It still holds up, if the whitewashing doesn’t bother you.

To be fair, I wouldn’t exactly call original Khan good representation either, in the sense that he draws on some negative ethnic stereotypes.
Still a fun villain, though.
Hugin@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Recasting one actor for a character that race isn’t an important characteristic isn’t white washing.
The problem with Into Darkness is how bad the writing and acting are. They took one of the most popular Star Trek movies and remade it badly.

Origin of what?
Droechai@lemm.ee 9 months ago
It’s probably a college comedy movie about how Archer got through school and on the path to captaincy

I’d watch that - there aren’t enough movies featuring water polo.
USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website 9 months ago
This is an excellent question.
I kinda hope it’s like a movie about the literal origin of Star Trek as a television show. At this point, I feel like that would have a better chance of actually getting made then anything set in universe.

This is an idea I ran by a fellow Trekkie awhile ago. An “Ed Wood” like movie about the behind the scenes of TOS. Satirize it from a place of love, focus on the drama between the cast and the antagonism between the studio and Gene. Quality movie material!

After watching “The Offer” I’m totally in on this idea. It would be awesome.

It’s just three hours of delivery room footage
