      It’s probably a college comedy movie about how Archer got through school and on the path to captaincy

      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

          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.

      Commander Shran returns to Andoria to reenact the events that led to the forming of the Federation

    If it’s dystopian and not utopic, they can keep it and hopefully lose money. Star Trek isn’t Star Wars.

    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?

    Looking 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.

    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 it

      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.
