another new Star Trek movie with Cpt. Sulu??

[Nostalgiabuff]

according to George Takei's FB page, they have announced that JJ Abrams will direct another Star Trek movie called Excelsior and starring none other than George himself. While I think that would have been a cool TV movie 15 years ago, i think he's a bit old to play the part now.

you think it's a joke? i can't really see Abrams doing this. he was not even really aTrek fan before doing Trek '09

Somebody make this happen for real!

They gave him a chance with a pilot like episode on Voyager and nothing happened. His own series after the Star Trek 4 would have been a good time to do it.

I remember him coming to Maine at Trek convention and talking about it. He wanted to do a weekly TV series and was lobbying the Studio for it. I got to talk to him and told him I hope he succeeds, I'd watch his show. Really nice guy.

I wish the Studio hadn't been so short sighted. I'd rather have watched Captain Sulu(his other proposed title for the show)then any Next Generation stuff.

Excelsior/Cpt Sului would have been more watchable than Enterprize was probably better than voyager was too. Actually that period is a gold mine if they want to do a trek franchise. you can have peripheral references to the original continuity, still use modern effectds and not have to rewrite the whole continuity

Hmmmm....

Fans have been pushing for this since the 90's at least. It's an interesting idea, but I'd rather see a totally new show with new characters. (Especially if they worked in an Iotian or two.)

What I like to see is a TV series based on the new continuity called...CAPTAIN PIKE! Get Bruce Greenwood, Find someway to demote him to Captain and give him his own ship(Constellation Class so he's not get jipped out of his ship by Kirk). Man, it could be AWESOME!
