Shock Star Trek News as Legacy loses Matalas?

For a year we’ve been saying Legacy is coming but we’ve also heard rumours that fan favourite Terry Matalas might not be showrunner.
A new Disney update makes that even less likely as he gets busy with. New Vision series.
So what does that mean for Legacy?

Oh boy these movies have me concerned regarding the canon. Why do they insist on these movies? Why? As for Legacy Frakes would be an excellent choice & it be in very good hands. No more movies-Paramount is trying to expand the reach of Star Trek & they are probably going to fail. Better to stay with streaming

Terry Matalas understands what fans like, more than most producers and directors! Frakes is fine enough, as he understands what good Trek is, as he's been around since acting on TNG.

@paullawrence7926 24 күн бұрын

Frakes would be fine by me as Star Trek showrunner. Like you Jay, no more focus on the early days of the Federation and the Enterprise - they’ll only complicate canon and timelines even further. There’s also Star Trek 4 with Chris Pine adding to the Kelvin timeline. Aarrgghh! 😖

@langleymneely 24 күн бұрын

My only push back is that the Vision Quest series is only a 1 season and done miniseries. I can still see Matalas jumping back on Legacy, provided Paramount gets its shit together. Im with you, I am so sick of Trek prequels! All that happens is they completely fuck over established canon for no good reason. The only prequel story I might be interested in was the Enterprise Romulan war film idea that never happened. I don’t get why they are so preoccupied with going backwards? It handcuffs them creatively and completely ruins established canon. Its a fools errand all around. Plus Simon Kinberg already ruined the X-Men Phoenix Saga twice, I don’t need him dicking around in another franchise I love.

Just watched P3 again. The main thing I keep noticing is the love of Trek and TNG that Matalis was able to create makes it truly a special season. I guess if we lose Metalis, maybe Frakes can still confab with him and use the same writing staff he would have used. Also, wondering if this ST prequel is for Paramount + only or are they looking to release in theatres?

Frakes has done well as a director for Star Trek. Hopefully that will translate to show running, if he ends up being the showrunner for Legacy.

@LaloMartins 24 күн бұрын

Cautiously optimistic. (Except for the whole Legacy business, ew.) Frakes is a promising idea and I'm looking forward to it. And I'm not against the idea of a reboot as such. I was very excited about and supportive of the 2008 reboot. Until I watched and it was in no way Star Trek. But the problem is not the reboot itself. Sometimes it's good to jettison some canon, and now with all the Secret Hideout fanfic piling up, I would welcome a fresh start even more.

@haplozetetic9519 24 күн бұрын

Everything after Enterprise needs to be jettisoned and removed from canon. They need to get some old timers back in writing and production to carry on from where the movies and Voyager left off, and no more prequels, with the possible exception of having Axanar done as it was originally intended. There were some things left with the Romulan situation that could be explored, such as reunification that could provide fodder for a number of episodes over some years, and I think there are a number of other things left open for episodes such as the remnants of the Borg, the Hirogen, and the Founders, the Tal Shiar, the Obsidian Order, Section 31, etc., as long as Section 31 remains in the shadows where they belong, and pop their heads out just often enough to have an influence and remind us they're still there...somewhere. All it would take is good stories that are well written, and produced by those who actually care about Star Trek. Hopefully they could avoid lame new adversaries like the early Ferengi, and the Kazon. I would really prefer no reboot. There's enough left open for continuation of the original timeline. Some sort of legacy series could be a good way to go if done as said above.

@bobriemersma 24 күн бұрын

I felt Enterprise did an excellent job of exposing the nature of the Vulcan High Command in the early seasons and hinted at the decadence of the Federation that was to come, which was slightly explored in DS-9. Enterprise did go off the rails later, diverting us with external enemies instead of showing how bad Earth was becoming under VHC influence.

The only way I would be excited would be if Secret Hideout and all of their 5th grade level writers are gone. Matalas included. Why Frakes would want to continue with this creatively bankrupt team is beyond me. Maybe he needs the money? Discovery season 5 has been complete and utter garbage. Just when you think it couldn't get worse, the Discovery writers seem to find a way. But hey, a train wreck is fascinating to watch.

As long as Paramount/Kurtzman’s leadership remains, Matalas is the only person I’d trust to respect the IP and push against the mess that Discovery and Picard Season1+2 have been for Trek canon. I’d hope Jonathan Frakes understands and agrees with the criticism lobbed at Discovery’s many sins against Trek lore, but he has defends the show.

Matalas is really critical to Legacy, however Frakes is reasonable backup. However, PP+ is on protocol desperate to prove they can produce a trek streamer to movies with a very specific age demographic, hence SF 90120. If PP+ keeps the same writers from DISCO (hhmm 100%) it will be no successful than DISCO. Yes SH is annoying!

@aaronbarr1152 23 күн бұрын

Star Trek movies are only successful on the heels of a successful series. It's pretty obvious if you look at it's history. If they want a successful movie, they need to either do one centered around Benjamin Sisko or Jonathan Archer. As for Legacy, if they can't get Matalas then Frakes is the next logical choice. But I feel it won't be as good without Matalas.

@danja7691 24 күн бұрын

Matalas's Legacy and the version the,fans want are two different things. Matalas had the idea of doing an anthology series that would've tossed Seven and the Enterprise-G crew over the side (his Legacy would've been more of a "Where Are They Now?" show: "What are the Klingons doing? What's happening on Bajor this week? How's Alexander?") It's still possible for him to come back as an Executive Producer (It's not uncommon for producers to work on several projects at once -- look at Shonda Rhimes, Jerry Bruckheimer, and Taylor Sheridan)

@matthewgaudet4064 11 күн бұрын

There is no Legacy Terry went to Disney. The future of Kurtzman Trek is anchored to Disco and the 32nd century. Except for Strange New Worlds and that in itself is not at all faithful to TOS canon, in the ways that matter like the Gorn being reimagined as evil aliens, the Enterprise not looking correct, Kirk being nothing like Shatner Kirk, Spock and Chapel nothing like those characters. I don't think the Discoprise is the same Enterprise from TOS it looks like a different ship. The only remaining Trek that is somewhat a mixed bag not total dogshit, but they had to multiply everything they did wrong in season 1 by several factors in season 2. And despite the limited number of episodes what do they do, waste an episode making Chapel a murderer or accomplice to one, and two more on a cartoon and musical episode such a joke.

So they can only do one trek project at a time & there are several projects that will be made sooner? So if that's true why would Matalas being showrunner on the Vision Disney+ limited run series impact his availability for Star Trek Legacy? So my question is are you reporting what you want to happen & sharing those wants as facts or has someone fed you this info and you just believed it because its what you want to happen? Paramount hasnt greenlit Star Trek Legacey because they cant afford it. Trust me I wish legacy would happen but the longer they go without annocing it the less likely it is to happen. Hollywood may not reveal details, or plot points & may actively misdirect audiences as far as who theyre casting or who an actor is playing in a project but theyre not going keep quiet on something like this especially considering depending on how big the fan desire for it is could potentially increase the value for the company prior to sale. I hope I'm wrong but the longer we go without official announcement the less likely we'll ever see Star Trek Legacy
