Do u think that the new star trek cast(JJ's trek movie next year) will the f!
Question: I'm a big trekkie fan. Personally, it's a refreshing idea that JJ is doing a star trek prequel movie. However, it kinda feels weird. Will there ever be another TNG movie? What will the new star trek series focus on?

It feels weird to you because you sound like a Next Generation fan, like me. (As opposed to an Original Series fan, which is not at all a bad thing to be, but there IS a difference in preference of style, writing, acting and legacy.) The new movie will probably focus on the youth of the original Enterprise crew, probably a franchise progression as Matt Damon was asked to consider playing Kirk for a future Star Trek movie (when Kirk is older) and seemed thrilled to do so.
I have been a Star Trek fan for over 17 years, so I am in the TNG generation of fans. I understand the empty feeling we all have over how the TNG legacy was wrapped up in Nemesis. Tom Hardy failed us; Stuart Baird failed us; Patrick Stewart sounded like he had a cold and Brent Spiner suddenly decides he wants out of Star Trek like the plague. None of it made any sense and it all happened so fast. I genuinely feel the TNG cast tried to put together a great finale movie, but in execution it failed, failed, failed.
Naturally, you can expect a reboot from Paramount and on the heels of M:I-3 and Lost, and judging from the build for Cloverfield, J.J. truly seemed like a safe bet. The idea is to take the Batman Begins approach and attempt to justify the prequel to the fans by comparing it to the overall reboot. As someone else said in their answer, basically this would work if William Shatner had some part to play in Star Trek XI. But they are totally shutting him out, and it's wrong. They are using Leonard Nimoy in the future (assumably TNG timeline) because he is Vulcan and still alive, so it is reasonable to give Kirk a fighting chance to return to life. William Shatner himself wrote a book called Star Trek: Resurrection where the Borg find his body on Veridian III and revive him / assimilate him into the collective as a voice, a la Locutus. This novel was fantastic and played well as a sequel to Generations. Though we ended up getting First Contact instead (which was still Borg-based), so we didn't complain. Star Trek was more than just a vision of Gene Roddenberry's, it was a way to take a chance and make a statement in a new and exciting medium of entertainment. Star Trek used to be about taking a chance, but I guess money started getting lost somewhere in the shuffle of taking risks (Insurrection, Nemesis) and fingers started pointing at those to blame.
Rick Berman and Michael Piller truly received more crap than they ever deserved, doing so much to honor Gene's vision and keep Star Trek vast and exciting. When the whole team got replaced, the original fabric of Star Trek was torn. They can never make a TNG movie like they used to, but through taking risks again, it might be possible to create a story that exists within that timeline and offers something valuable to Star Trek canon.
If we can get a Titan movie, or a Q movie, or something, anything to help link the story to the timeline of TNG, than it is possible we might see a movie close to what you would like. J.J. is the man who is going to give us a franchise of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy 90210 movies if they are successful, and his creative influences are left unchecked. If the saga starts to shift in a more commercial and less intelligent direction, we should unite like Jericho fans and get Rick Berman, Michael Piller, Jeri Taylor or any of the original geniuses of The Next Generation BACK to fix it. If the studio execs refuse, we will wait until a new generation of filmmakers penetrate Paramount and get Star Trek back to its roots. There is plenty of time to make good Trek films.
Will Star Trek XI aka Star Trek: The Movie aka Star Trek: JJ be any good? Only time and the fans' responses will tell.
I think it could be really cool, especially if they stick to traditional star trek themes and don't get all hollywood.
I would love another TNG movie, but I doubt there will be - they have done so much together already, but there could be some cameos. Who knows, perhaps they'll change their minds, but generally once you start a new series it kind of wipes out the other.
Well, I am hoping it will be good but I have no idea - remember when Enterprise came out? That was pretty good but there are a million variables. I think the most important part is the writing - TNG had the best plots out there. The second most important is a great cast with good actors and ones who fit the roles. And the third most important thing is not following trends because Star Trek is not about trends, and if they start adding hot women and chase scenes just to sell more tickets the quality sufferers.
The cast looks good - but without William Shatner (even in a flashback) I'm not too sure. Nice to see Leonard Nimoy though.
I have all of the original series on DVD. Whether you like him or not Shatner is Star Trek so perhaps without him the name Star Trek should be dropped but then that wouldn't be fair to Gene Roddenbury especially if they are trading on the original conception.
Well, I think one of the big reasons the "Enterprise" show was not popular is that they put more energy into Political Correct Indoctranation than they did writing a good story. I was getting sick of being preached to about all these "social issues" and just stopped watching. Apparently, so did a lot of other people.
There is some talk that Captain Sulu would get a show!
I am not real big on the regular cast but i am glad they are having cameos by most of the original cast.
