Star Trek Origins. All roles played by Jeffrey Combs.
Origin of what?
It’s probably a college comedy movie about how Archer got through school and on the path to captaincy
I’d watch that - there aren’t enough movies featuring water polo.
Which is baffling, considering just how visually interesting the sport is.
This is an excellent question.
I kinda hope it’s like a movie about the literal origin of Star Trek as a television show. At this point, I feel like that would have a better chance of actually getting made then anything set in universe.
This is an idea I ran by a fellow Trekkie awhile ago. An “Ed Wood” like movie about the behind the scenes of TOS. Satirize it from a place of love, focus on the drama between the cast and the antagonism between the studio and Gene. Quality movie material!
Have you seen Shadow of the Vampire? It’s a fiction about the filming of Nosferatu (1922) where they actually used a real vampire as the main character
I have not but I’ll have to check it out. William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy being time travellers from the future would certainly be a twist!

After watching “The Offer” I’m totally in on this idea. It would be awesome.
Star Trek Origins: The Birth of Khan
It’s just three hours of delivery room footage
LOL I would love if a new Trek film comes out and it’s just some extremely esoteric avant-garde production.
Give me Warhol’s “Empire” but it’s just an extended 8 hour cut of the flyby scene in TMP.
Origin of Purple Klingons.
We do not discuss it with outsiders.
If it’s dystopian and not utopic, they can keep it and hopefully lose money. Star Trek isn’t Star Wars.
my god man who hurt you
Presumably Alex Kurtzman.
Alex Kurtzman ran for mayor of my town just to make it illegal for me to watch TNG :(
Bad writers who hate Star Trek and their fans.
Rick Berman?
Tbh I’d rather just more content from the modern age of Star Trek.
There’s no evidence it’s not! First Contact was a TNG movie after all.
Wasn’t First Contact the origin movie?
We can go even deeper
I see we’re reporting on reports now
And commenting about it, too!
the movie is just a long take of a young James T. Kirk driving a convertible while listening to the Beastie Boys. The movie ends as he drives it into a canyon.
I’d probably watch itLooking around online, further rumors seem to lean towards it being a Federation origin film.
That would put us in ENT era, but I don’t see them following the existing canon. Maybe following a non-Enterprise ship to recruit an early but non-founding planet. The origin in this case being about how the Federation first expanded.
The other option could be picking up right after First Contact. How mankind adapts to learning about the Vulcans.
I just don’t see either of those films getting greenlit.
It’s going to be about the Post-Atomic Horror… Or else! Give me my campy Kangaroo court.
Oh great, another recast of the TOS crew, but they’re all preteens hijacking a spaceship and fighting preteen Romulans together? Also, they form this deep and meaningful bond that has to be reset/memory wiped by the end of the movie yet somehow steer them onto a shared future?
That’s…a lot of assumptions not in any way supported by the linked article.
Not assumption, just worst fears when they give us so little to go on after two or three aborted or stalled movies 🙂
To be fair, it’s also not supported by any other articles.

Just rewatched Into Darkness. It still holds up, if the whitewashing doesn’t bother you.
To be fair, I wouldn’t exactly call original Khan good representation either, in the sense that he draws on some negative ethnic stereotypes.
Still a fun villain, though.
Recasting one actor for a character that race isn’t an important characteristic isn’t white washing.
The problem with Into Darkness is how bad the writing and acting are. They took one of the most popular Star Trek movies and remade it badly.
