Bakula: Enterprise Film Is Dead
Scott Bakula, star of UPN's canceled Star Trek: Enterprise, told SCI
FI Wire that plans for a movie based on the show were put on hold when
the regime changed at Paramount and the network pulled the plug on the
show earlier this year. Bakula said he's willing to reprise the
character of Capt. Jonathan Archer in an Enterprise film. "It's
something I would be interested in doing," Bakula said in an interview
at the show's wrap party in Hollywood last week. "They haven't
[asked], but the reality is that Paramount has been under such
internal upheaval in the last year that right now there's really
nobody that's there that is a fan of Star Trek."
Bakula said that recent turnover of several key Paramount executives
has dampened enthusiasm for future Trek projects. "It's all turned
over, so I don't know what's going to happen with Star Trek as a
franchise," Bakula said. "Obviously it's been very important to that
studio for a great number of years and brought a lot of revenue for
them. But I'm not sure how they will re-address or kind of re-approach
it as the dust settles. But we'll see."
The nearly 40-year-old Trek franchise will find itself next year
without an original TV series or future movie on the calendar for the
first time since 1987, owing in part to the disappointing box-office
performance of the last film, Star Trek Insurrection, and the poor
ratings of Enterprise, which winds up its four-year run in May.
But Bakula said that he thinks Enterprise could make a successful jump
to the big screen. "I don't think there's any question about that," he
said. "It's just, again, you've got to have interest from the studio,
and that doesn't exist right now to my knowledge. It did before. You
see, when we started, there was always the idea that we would be the
next movie cast and movie ship. But all the people who were interested
in that are gone." Enterprise airs Fridays at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

Yes, but that's before the show became a big disappointment and fans bailed
en-masse.

Insurrection? Don't they mean Nemesis?

I interpreted that as:
"...owing in part to the disappointing box-office
performance of the last film (Nemesis), Star Trek Insurrection, and the
poor ratings of Enterprise, which winds up its four-year run in May."

Just the fact they MADE Insurrection was enough to doom the series...
Whose kooky idea was that movie, anyway....

He's a nice guy, but nothing more than a B rated TV actor.
