It's worth noting that the last time I heard Ben Stiller talking Trek - five years ago on the official podcast - he made it pretty clear that he was a TOS fan, and hadn't really seen anything else.
Nothing wrong with that at all, but relevant IMO.
Also, he definitely doesn't actually have a pitch.
...they asked him “Do you have any Star Trek pitches?” He promptly replied, “Yeah, let’s do it.”
Hear me out, it's called The Orville and... oh, no wait. I'm being handed a message.
I love many Star Trek movies, but the big screen is not important to the franchise, and it's best work has always been on the small screen.
I still want the Quentin Tarantino Star Trek movie.
Star Trek tends to suck on the big screen because instead of relatable sci-fi we get action scenes and explosions. It’s not the same.
If you could make a movie that stays true to the idea of Star Trek while still maintaining broad enough appeal to reach a wider audience, sure.
I believe, to this day, that still has yet to be done. Without the broad appeal it's better to just do the show, and without the ideals of Star Trek... it's just another generic sci-fi action movie.
Hasn't basically every star trek movie been kinda bad?
iMO the IP does better when it has time to go slow.
Yes please
He should just go to the Orville new season or an Orville movie, Star Trek is kinda beyond the point where it can go back to what it was
i hope that it's star trek but it's literally just his character from extras.
DS9 movie. I know some important people are gone but still. DS9 movie
