Hector J. Guzman Oscar® Winner	Who would you like to score the next(and possibly last) Trek film. Personally I would like for Goldsmith to take care of the last Next Generation movie, so if this is the last one Goldsmith should do it. NP. Cinema Serenade 2(Williams, Perlman)

Jeron Oscar® Winner	Hey Hector... glad to see you're still hangin' around. As for me, well... you know I'm gonna say Goldsmith. And that's what we are gonna get, as he's already been signed to do it. I think we'll be in for a treat with this score, as the new movie is going to kick some major booty. Lots of action, lots of conspiracy, lots of Romulans. Speaking of Romulans, I can't wait to see what kind of theme Jerry creates for them... let's hope it's as effective (and as much fun) as his Klingon theme. I'm sure it'll be pretty sneaky and menacing. Jerry is going to have muchos opportunity to compose a lot of great music. As for the other folks who are going to respond, I'm sure we'll be hearing suggestions in the vein of David Newman, JNH, Poledouris, and Frederic Talgorn.

Marian Schedenig Oscar® Winner	Goldsmith is great of course, but I'd like to see someone else have a shot at another Trek movie, too. But as it's the last NG feature, I'm all for Goldsmith. I don't think I really would want Williams to do a Trek score too much (although I wouldn't mind), but it would certainly interesting to hear what he would do for it. I'd be very interested in having Goldenthal scoring a Trek feature some day. NP: Sticky Fingers (The Rolling Stones)

Jeron Oscar® Winner	It's not confirmed that this is the last TNG film. That's just a rumor.

Foobsie Oscar® Winner	Basil Poledouris :-)) OOOH YES.... PLEASE!!!! WE NEED SOME "KAZANG!" IN THOSE BATTLE SCENES! (not that I have any problem with JG's, but I've practically heard all of them and Insurrection WAS a dissapointment) NP: THE CLAIM-Michael Nyman **/***

Supported by official statements by Patrick Stewart and others. The really unsettling (and hopefully not true) rumour is that Stewart reportedly wants them to kill off his character in the film.

JJH Oscar® Winner	I don't care WHAT's in this film, so long as it's GOOD. you know what the BEST possible storyline would be, given the cool villain and Romulans? Spock. that's right. JJ calls for a little continuity! and David Newman

James Oscar® Winner	As much as I would be interested in seeing some new composing blood in the series, for this film I am all for Maestro Goldsmith. Especially if this does turn out to be the last NG movie. My second choice would have to be Don Davis. And you all thought I was going to say Richard Band... ... he's my third choice. James

Jeron Oscar® Winner	I wouldn't mind hearing a Star Trek score from Bruce Broughton...

Ruddiger unregistered	I have high hopes for the score. But Star Trek X is going to suck like no Star Trek has sucked before. And after Insurrection, that's saying something. Thanks Rick Berman!!!!!

Ruddiger, I think the film will be really good... especially with writer (and long time Star Trek fan) John Logan behind the wheel. Hiring a new writer was Berman's best possible move... now we'll just have to see who he picks to direct. I still think Frakes is a great director.

Quill Oscar® Winner	Who knows...we could get "Search for Jean-Luc" Seriously though, I'd like to see the film franchise move forward on a serious note, maybe in the form of trilogy with an extended storyline tracing a war or other interesting plot...rather than focusing on Riker's shave jobs and Picard crusading for social justice. Jerry's never a bad choice for a Trek film, but I echo the sentiment that new blood would be welcome. I'd like to see David Arnold, but... As a sidenote...the new Trek series is shaping up to sound very promising, as it takes place in the stoneage of the Federation, when technology was not sterling and the vulcans thought humans were morons. Scott Bakula has been signed to play the Captain...I wonder if Jerry will pump a cool, militaristic drum march to go with the show's themes.

Ruddiger unregistered	John Logan wrote a flick called "Bats" I believe. Not a good sign. He also wrote Gladiator, which I don't have a high opinion of.
posted 04-06-2001 08:55 AM PT (US)

Jeron Oscar® Winner	Ruddiger, he wrote what he was hired to write. Doesn't mean he's a bad writer. And Quill, I agree... the trilogy thing would be cool, and even moreso, it might be fun to have TNG follow the first part of the story, DS9 the second, and VOY the last. David Arnold is always one of my top picks for any kind of scifi/action film, though I seriously doubt he'd ever land a job scoring a Trek flick. Unfortunately. As far as the new Trek series goes... I'm not sure I'm too comfortable with the whole "stoneage Federation" thing. As of right now, that storyline and the Scott Bakula thing are all rumors. Star Trek Production News hasn't made that announcement yet, and until they do, I'll continue to go by their little slogan: "Until you see it here, it's just a rumor."

Quill Oscar® Winner	I read a while back a "confirmed" press release of the primary character set for casting purposes. The characters seem fairly well put together, from the high-browed vulcan female, to the souther engineer. I think the show holds great promise...they will be going where no man had gone before...literally. But you're right...lets just wait and see.
posted 04-06-2001 10:33 AM PT (US)

Jeron Oscar® Winner	I just don't like the backwards thinking... if anything, I think the show should stay in the 24th century, as there are a ton of stories left to explore. OR, they should move ahead. The thought of going back between Zephram Cochrane's time and TOS just really bothers me. I dunno why. I certainly don't want any movies based around a series like that, that's for sure. Trying to stay open-minded... but it's awfully hard. Jeron [Message edited by Jeron on 04-06-2001]

Aaron R. Brown Oscar® Winner	I'm sure that Star Trek X will be a good movie. Every Star Trek fan knows that the odd number movies are bad and the even numbered ones are great! I don't blame Berman too much for having the irritating Ba'Ku in Star Trek: Insurrection. I blame Michael Piller. This time around John Logan (He wrote Gladiator) is writng the screen play. He hasn't done anything Star Trek so he may have some fresh ideas for this last NexGen film. As for the series, I don't care what Berman do. I will watch as long as there are good actors, funny aliens and cool ships or space stations. [Message edited by Aaron R. Brown on 04-06-2001]

Quill Oscar® Winner	While I can agree with the sentiment that there is more to explore in the 20th century, I look forward to the possibility of a more "militaristic" feel...everybody seemed to snacking on a lovepie the entire time in Next Generation...of course I loved it anyway. I guess with three different series taking place in the 24th century, they thought the possible storylines had run their course. Let's hope they can breathe some creativity into the new series...its seem to be tightly rationed these days.

meegle Oscar® Winner	David Williams of Supernova. By the way, anyone who thinks this will be the last Star Trek film is crazy.
posted 04-06-2001 02:40 PM PT (US)

Jeron Oscar® Winner	Meegle, the argument is not "will it be the last Star Trek film?," but "will it be the last TNG film?" Personally, I don't think it'll be the last TNG film... I think it may be the last to feature the entire cast, though I feel as if DS9 and Voyager are due for more-than-cameo feature-length representations. But then again, what's a Star Trek movie without the Enterprise and her daring crew? What have the last 9 films been about? Perhaps it's time for a change... maybe not. Jeron

JJH Oscar® Winner	just bring back a sense of wonder and awe as I and V do (V even though it still misses), humor as IV does, and a good story arc as II, III, and IV do. who wants to go to the theater to watch episodic TV? Voyager on the big screen is not happening. something with DS9 would make one hell of a good big screen adventure yarn. It'd be a tough sell, but they could do it.
