[dix4012 0]

I need to know where I can sent a movie script as to get comments to see if it would make a great Star Trek Motion picture.

 

Thanks

well i dont know where to send it but good luck eh, the ending kinda struck me as a surprise though, it seemed like the federation really lost this one.

 

not to be a little smart allik or anything but you might want to check your spelling especially with words like VULCANS in the very first sentence...

Well hey, the Federation can't win all the time, can they?

It seems rather 'unfinished'. A good first two acts, but you can't just leave the Enterprise dead in space . . . the fans would riot.

 

Well hey, the Federation can't win all the time, can they?

No, but we shove all the losses beneath the carpet and never speak of them again. :D (I know, I know . . . learn from history or repeat it)

 

And I don't like the idea that we break warp 10 :P The Voyager episode ("Threshold" I think) where they did that was a complete travesty--then again that's the geek talking . . . :P

 

I do think that Species 8472, and the 'machine planet' idea briefly introduced by TMP (and later expanded by the Shatner/Reeves-Stevens series) would make an interesting plot if done well.

I like the idea of not using starfleet for the next series.

 

Maybe the Klingons would be interesting.

[koolaidman 0]

or maybe federation of interstallar planets... lol

To answer your question, Paramount does not accept outside writers (for either movies or television series) due to what the law says.

 

...and I've had a brilliant movie plot in my head for about a year, and I refuse to let it out to anyone. Really... it is brilliant. :P

[Sam_SemaJ 0]

which one of your personalities came up with it. is that one keeping it secret, or a different one?? :P

[Sam_SemaJ 0]

...On the topic of the movie that started this page...I think it was a bit too depressing :P . (plus there were many many mechanical errors (but thats what editors are for)). Also, the instant technolology advances arent really a good idea, theres no reasoning or explenation behind it. I'm not sure that a movie with the tagline "the federation gets schooled by old enemies" would sell tickets very well. Don't hate me, its just my opinion. :P I did like the bit about the trombone, very creative :D . In the general topic of movies, im anxious to see what will happen with DS9 movies. In the final episode, everyone kinda split up and went their seperate ways. Unless aliens strike during the 5 year reunion, im not sure where paramount will go with it. Any ideas?

[koolaidman 0]

... what 5 year reunion by my watch it been about 7 since ds9 went off

[Sam_SemaJ 0]

how long has it been in ST universe...? 10 year reunion, whatever...the point is, i wonder what they will do with the movies since all the characters dispursed

[koolaidman 0]

they wont have em

[Sam_SemaJ 0]

why wouldnt they have them? every other ST franchise has included movies in the contract, or at leat the two before that one has

[Tachyon 0]

I want a DS9 movie. ^_^ They ended the series and left it open for at least one movie . . .

 

DS9's last season took place in 2375. Voyager's last season was 2378, and Nemesis took place in 2379/2380 (somewhere around there).

 

So considering the real life time lapse between now and the end of DS9 (it ended in 1999) then having a DS9 movie set in 2380 would be kind of . . . synchronous. :)

[Sam_SemaJ 0]

yeah...what IS the latest year in the star trek universe anyhow...im very perplexed on that one ^_^

[koolaidman 0]

well theyve never really said a year you have to listen to the stardates but im pratty sure nemisis was the latest year, asidef rom maybe a time episode (maybe a Q one but i cant remember) so i belive nemisis was the last in 2379,

 

trek years aren't anydifferent form our years (stop me now if im lying) but whay are about 375 years in the futre for the ds9 era (i say ds9 cause it was a common denominator for tng and voy)

 

any way f im making sense than blah

[Sam_SemaJ 0]

i jsut thought of something...forget DS9...how can they do Voyager movies!!??!!?? :o :lol: ^_^ :) Voyager's home!!! i suppose that it could be regular run of the mill alpha quadrant federation missions with the admiral...but still. they have to do movies, but how would they!

[Tachyon 0]

They don't have to do a movie, although it would be nice to see one.

 

There have been a few Voyager novels dealing with their return. I suspect that any movie would likely have a similar theme--the Voyager crew has come home, and they have to deal with that. It would most likely be an Insurrection-type movie: lots of romance and drama with only a little bit of starship battling . . .

thats is basically what all of the TOS movie were i dont know, why not have a few movies and they all share a greater storyline like movies 2,3 and 4...

ok we were good on nmisis the stardate is 56844.9 which is about 2379 ( got this because generations stardate is 48632.4 8 years, before nemisis and my TMG companion tells me that the year is circa 2371 for generations) anyways this is the latest stardate unless somhow insureection is set before nomisis, no stardate was given for that,

 

so the latest stardate we see is nemisis at 56844.9 (2379)

 

have fun!

I don't see how it is even possible. In Janeway's cameo in Nemesis she mentioned the Son'a as a previous mission, which would mean Insurrection must be before Nemesis. Plus in Insurrection Picard mentioned delaying Worf from returning to DS9 which would mean DS9 was still Worf's permenant assignment at the time.

oh yea well i was just joking, i noticed a bunch ofthings that had to happen like the above thing and the enterprse not being trashed and stuff i was just joking and not nessessarily agreein with what i said

 

(was the enterprise destroyed at the end of NEM ? i cant remember them saying anything about it )

(was the enterprise destroyed at the end of NEM ? i cant remember them saying anything about it )

No, it was badly damaged, and then the movie cut to a scene where the Enterprise was back in the shipyard, nearly repaired. Picard and B4 are in Picard's Ready Room, and B4 strikes up a tune.

[Sam_SemaJ 0]

the starship head on collision, followed by being stuck together, was a very cool scene, just thought i'd add that

Hey there,

 

First, to the original question, as someone mentioned...Paramount Pictures no longer accepts unsoliciated scripts. They ended the practice of accepting scripts for Star Trek shows sometime during Star Trek: Deep Space Nine I believe. At present, the only way to get a script submitted is thru an agent.

 

Second, I'm not certain there is enough realistic material for a DS9 feature film. I don't think we'll ever see it, especially given the rumor the next film will deal with the Earth-Romulan War. However, that put away for a moment, I do think the ending of DS9 was rushed. I know many, myself included, could not/cannot stand this entire Sisko going to the Prophets thing. Way, way, way, way too far out in left field for me.

 

Now, I do think there is enough material for a TV movie or a mini-series. Something perhaps four hours long might work. I think that might be a good medium for it and I think you could probably "properly" wrap up DS9 that way.

 

Third, there is no way there will ever been a Star Trek: Voyager feature film. The show's concept is complete. They got home. End of story. Sadly, I think they should have returned home third to last episode of Season 7. The last several episodes should have been spent with their return, dealing with their attempt to get back to living in the Federation. What happened to Tuvok? Did Paris remain in Starfleet? Those are solid questions that I do not think we will ever have answered and that's because of poor planning. You won't see them on the big screen though.

 

Fifth, as far as the crew from the Enterprise D/E are concerned...don't count on it. Worf, in a cut line from the film, explains at the wedding that he could not stand being a diplomat and finally convienced Martok to allow him to depart. Starfleet agreed so he went to the Enterprise. Sadly, the scenes featuring the "departure" of Riker, Troi, Crusher and LaForge were either cut or never filmed. According to the script, the only original characters left with Picard is Worf. Riker and Troi are gone, Crusher supposedly leaves to become head of Starfleet Medical again (the scene had her leaving a note for Picard on his desk...saying she couldn't stand to tell him in person...and there was a line I think they didn't cut from the film (or maybe the DVD) talking about a new CMO) and LaForge is supposed to have finally married Leah Brahams (who's husband died in the war I believe) and heads to a senior position (possibly as head) of the Daystrom Institute.

 

That crew is sadly finished. Going off of what was actually in the film even, it'd be difficult to get them all back. Only way might be to have a Star Trek VI style situation (Sulu and Kirk). Yet, because of the poor boxoffice performance of Nemesis (which I don't blame on writing so much as I do poor marketing, promotion and release date conflicts), it won't happen.

[Sam_SemaJ 0]

besides, i think finality was assumed in that film...
