“I am not able to say much, but I can say that it is Paramount’s intent to figure out the Star Trek side of movies and what’s going on there. There’s every intent of a new movie coming out in the very near future. There’s a lot of secrecy around what’s going to happen there. But there is a plan getting into place. And we’re very excited to see it return to the big screen.”
Honestly, this seems more like a "plan to make a plan" to me.
JJ did not make Star Trek interesting, he made it a fast paced mystery box laden action movie. Just like with Star Wars. They just felt like generic action movies, but with more mystery boxes that don't pay off.
I just want a new series like voyager. Taking place in the future (not prequels), doing something unique, having a cohesive progressive storyline but not necessarily extremely serialized like picard, and with new characters
Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I'd like more Trek out beyond the current lore, it's own thing that is in the same universe but not directly tied to anything we've got. Star Trek is running into that Skywalker's everywhere issue that Star Wars has.
The best idea I've seen so far (IMHO) steals from Stargate by sending a ship via a transwarp one way-esque jump to another galaxy. That lets you star fresh but still dip into the existing lore if/when. Then as the series goes on slowly but surely Starfleet gets more of a foothold, builds a star base/outpost, transwarp link-thing, you get more ships, more people, more spinoffs etc.
"There's every intent of a new movie coming out in the very near future"
I'm reading this to mean that the S31 movie is coming out sometime this summer. Between Discovery and Lower Decks. After October or so doesn't sound 'very neat future' to me.
I'm also not reading much into the 'trying to figure out' how to get the movies to the big screen. We know that S31 will be a P+ exclusive. Regardless of if it's because of some preexisting contract with what was CBS All Access when the original project got green lit all those years ago or because S31's lore leans too heavily on S1-3 Discovery to stand on its own, S31 was never going to be in major theaters.
The purported Picard, Kelvin 4, or even the pitched Lower Decks movies? Those are probably going to actually be in theaters.
McMahan has previously tried to garner support for a LD movie, live action at that, but there’s nothing to suggest that it’s been greenlit. If anything, we may have gotten LD S5 instead.
I really must agree! While an occasional cinematic outing can be enjoyable, Trek is at its best on the small screen!
Edit: incidentally, for as much as I love the OT, I feel the same applies for the Star Wars franchise. Dave Filoni and John Favrau have done more with that franchise that Lucas ever could!

Lol I saw the drama thread about this like 20 minutes before finding this thread on my feed. The mod(s) doing this are really shooting themselves in the everything here. Soon the userbase here will hit critical low and there'll be no opinions that are contrary to the mighty overlords opinions.
They'll finally have a place with only their thoughts and judgements. Nobody talking back or saying what they think, just agreeing with the oppressors. Just them and the bots they made to parrot and agree with them.
I guess I'll just wait patiently for my 30 day ban for saying anything though.
