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.
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.
