It's never really come up, frankly, but depending on what that would sort of be and how it would be done I'd be open to the idea of it. Right now we're just sort of focusing on making a movie that's worth people's time.
As to the next installment of the New Star Trek franchise...
I'm excited. We're working hard. We're very close and I hope to have something to talk about concretely soon. I do feel like if 'Trek' happens as we hope that it will, it will be a fun return to that group of people, because it's an amazing group.
He was also asked about the possibility of his shows (Alias, Fringe, Lost) jumping to the big screen. He jokingly says...
I think that people could probably come up with better ideas for movies than rehashing my
old TV shows.
Well, considering the state of Hollywood today, with the three Rs (remakes, reboots, and re-imaginings), comics, novels, video games, BOARD games (Battleship anyone?), and TV shows being used as source material for films, it's not as far fetched as he jokes. So what do you think? Do we need Star Trek back on the small screen? I say it's OK with me.
