During a recent panel aboard the Star Trek Cruise ship (via Screen Rant), Marina Sirtis stated Star Trek: Legacy is “never going to happen.”
Marina Sirtis: First of all, Legacy is never gonna happen.
Jonathan Frakes: Come on, Marina!
Marina Sirtis: You know, you hate hearing the truth. There is not a single studio in America that is gonna make a series where most of the leading actors are over 70 years old. I’m sorry, but that’s just the truth. It’s just Hollywood.
They should give a bunch of creators a couple million dollars each to write new stories in the Trek universe, whichever one.
All of life is over-administered, and having one creative brain behind entire IPs is a limiting factor to creativity.
amen! roddenberry is long gone and trek has long since been a part of the broader culture. it should really be in the public domain
I assume you’re referring to Kurtzman, but it seems to be like that’s exactly what he’s doing? Of the six series we’ve had under his watch, he’s been the showrunner of two of them. The rest of them seemed to be fairly free to execute their creative vision, for good or ill.
