Not surprising if it is true, considering the mad crazy bonkers excitement for that triumphant third season of ”Star Trek : Picard” on Paramount+ this year, but an new report suggests that franchise staple Patrick Stewart is courting the studio to greenlight a Picard-skewed big screen venture.
Stewart, of course, played Jean-Luc Picard not only on the small screen but in several big screen adventures, beginning with 1995’s Star Trek : Generations. The 82-year-old wants this next movie to be the swansong movie for Picard and his ”Next Generation” crew.
He told Indiewire that the movie would be less a “Star Trek : Picard” movie and more a “Star Trek : The Next Generation” movie.
“I think we could do a movie, a ‘Picard’-based movie.’ Now not necessarily at all about Picard but about all of us. And to take many of those wonderful elements, particularly from Season 3 of ‘Picard’ and take out of that what I think could be an extraordinary movie. I keep telling people and mentioning it, and so far there’s been no eager response, but it might well happen. And that would be I think a very appropriate way to say, ‘And goodbye folks.’
A new Star Trek movie, of any shape or form, has been a long time coming and by all accounts, Paramount is struggling to pull the trigger on one- maybe this is the way to go?
