Another Star Trek Movie in the Works?

Weeks before the Star Trek movie premiered in theaters in May 2009, fans had buzzed about the possibility of the sequel of the all-time favorite sci-fi movie. Even the movie producers are giving some hints that a follow-up movie may be released in 2010 or 2011 with the same cast.

The producers said it would depend on the box-office success of the revival of the Star Trek film. In fact, the producers have already hired screenwriters for the movie’s screenplay. And with the movie’s $76 million opening sales, Trekkies may have something to look forward to in the next two years.

According to reports, the Star Trek movie sequel would focus on the “unpredictable future.” This is because fans already know the fate of the characters—who lived as well as who died—so there’s no point in subjecting certain characters to danger. One of the writers of the movie said there was a need to find ways to make the future of the characters hard to foresee so that when they’re caught in difficult and threatening circumstances, the risk of death would become real.

In particular, online rumor has it that the Star Trek movie sequel would be about the war between Earth and the Romulans. This happened from 2156 to 2160, a time-frame that’s two more years into the future from the Star Trek Enterprise.

In addition, several unforgettable characters would be included in the sequel such as Dr. Tolian Soran and Khan Noonien Singh. Their lives might be altered by the developments in the follow-up Star Trek movie.
