    Star Trek future movies?

    I don't buy that at all. Every month, at least one book comes out that is consistent with all of Star Trek's film and TV history. While not all of them are easily adaptable to the silver screen, some of them are. First Contact proved that a Trek movie can still appeal to the hardcore Trekkers...

    Star Trek future movies?

    Enterprise: The First Adventure is a novel by Vonda McIntyre. Presumably, a movie about Kirk's first mission on the Enterprise would contradict that novel.

    Star Trek future movies?

    Just because the creators of the movie don't have to stay consistent with the novels doesn't mean that they can't choose to do so anyway.

True, they would be difficult or impossible to adapt to the screen, but they show that there is no limit to good storytelling within the Trek universe except the...

    Star Trek future movies?

    I'm not terribly concerned about future Star Trek movies right now. This fourth season of Enterprise, contrary to the critics that Ernest has been listening to, has been putting out some great episodes so far, and the fan reaction has been positive to Coto's increased control of the series...

    Star Trek future movies?

    Frakes was asked to direct First Contact because he had directed for the TV show already. I think the studio wanted a director who had experience with Trek and knew the characters well after what happened with Generations. Frakes did a great job with First Contact, so he was hired back for...
