[QUOTE="Kalshane, post: 556217, member: 9505"] Personally, I think it would be a good idea. The franchise is getting stale. They need something new to mix it up some, and Enterprise, unfortunately, is not cutting it. I personally would like to see a movie adaptation or two of Peter David's "Star Trek: New Frontier" books. They're set in the Next Gen time period and have a good mix of interesting characters, drama, humor and witty dialogue. They also take place in the former Thallonian empire (made up by Mr. David, I believe, but a more knowledgable person than I might have a reference from one of the series'.) so we've got an area of the galaxy we haven't really seen explored yet, while at the same time close enough to "home" that you can still bring in the familiar stuff. The only problem I see is David likes to give starring roles to characters that were bit parts in the shows. New Frontier features Next Generation characters such Commander Elizabeth Shelby ("Best of Both Worlds") as the First Officer, Dr. Selar (a couple of eps) as Chief Medical Officer and Lt. Robin Lefler (from "The Game" and one other episode) at Ops. Getting those actors together for the project might be difficult. (Especially since I don't really see Ashley Judd putting a Star Trek uniform back on to reprise her role as Lefler.) The other problem is the ship features a Brikar (another creation of Mr. David, I assume) as security chief. Think Thing from the Fantastic Four. He'd most likely have to be CGI (though not as much of a problem if it's a movie. Gollum has proven that CGI characters can be viable if handled correctly.) But all in all, the books are good stuff (they're the only Star Trek novels I actively try to keep up with) and I would love to see the crew of the Excalibur on the big screen. [/QUOTE]
