Were Remans ever mentioned in TNG before they showed up in Nemesis?

Remans weren't mentioned but then neither the Romulan or Klingon empires were really explained. Presumably there were some other conquered races that made up these "empires" but we never heard too much about them if anything

Well, of course I know him.

I like how Star Trek Online had the Gorn and the Nausicaans as conscripted members of the Klingon Empire. It makes sense to me that the Romulans and Klingons would make use of a conquered planet’s population for cannon fodder.

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

Lloyd Kaufman's Star Trek

He's the best in the business at making absolutely no money off lovely, low-budget crap. It might be exactly what the franchise needs, because when you know you won't turn a profit you can just go for broke and make exactly what you want. No compromise, no giving in. Just the story you want to tell.

Also, I want to see the Kabukiman car flip wedged inexplicably into Trek.

Could Star Trek fans see a return of one of its most famous faces?

Following the news that Quentin Tarantino was working on a new idea for the franchise alongside J.J. Abrams, with plans to direct, Patrick Stewart has thrown an unlikely hat back into the intergalactic ring.

"People are always saying to me, 'Will you be Jean-Luc Picard again?' And I cannot think that would be possible, but there are ways in which something like that might come about," the iconic actor told The Hollywood Reporter, speaking from the sidelines of the Dubai International Film Festival, where he received an honorary award.

"But one of my dreams is to work with Tarantino. I admire his work so much, and to be in a Tarantino film would give me so much satisfaction. So, if he is going to direct something to do with Star Trek and there was the possibility of dear old Jean-Luc showing up again and doing that for Mr Tarantino, I would embrace it."

Stewart said one thing was sure about a Tarantino-directed Star Trek installment: it would be gripping.

"The one thing that characterizes all of his movies is that frame by frame, it always challenges, always demands your attention, always demands a very kind of open and generous response to what he does," he said. "I also love his sense of humor as a filmmaker. So yes, he would be my first choice."

quote:

EXCLUSIVE: After Deadline this week revealed that Quentin Tarantino pitched a Star Trek film to JJ Abrams and Paramount, the whole thing is moving at warp speed. Tarantino met for hours in a writers room with Mark L. Smith, Lindsey Beer, Drew Pearce and Megan Amram. They kicked around ideas and one of them will get the job. I’m hearing the frontrunner is Smith, who wrote The Revenant. The film will most certainly go where no Star Trek has gone before: Tarantino has required it to be R rated, and Paramount and Abrams agreed to that condition. Most mega budget tent poles restrict the film to a PG-13 rating in an effort to maximize the audience. That was the reason that Guillermo Del Toro’s $150 million At The Mountains of Madness didn’t go forward at Universal, even though Tom Cruise was ready to star. The exception to this rule was Fox’s Deadpool, but that film started out with modest ambitions before it caught on and became the biggest R rated film ever.

That rating was crucially important to Tarantino, who hopes to direct this Star Trek and who has helmed R rated films his entire career. Imagine how this could open storytelling lanes, or even what the banter on the bridge of the Starship Enterprise might be, if you conjure up memories of the conversations between Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta in Pulp Fiction, or the banter at the diner between robbers before the heist gone wrong that triggered the action in Reservoir Dogs.

Smith is best known for writing the Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu-directed The Revenant and subsequently overhauled Overlord, the WWII thriller that Abrams’ Bad Robot is producing for Paramount. Pearce’s script credits include Iron Man 3, Sherlock Holmes 3, Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation and the TV series Runaway TV; he just directed his script Hotel Artemis; Beer’s credits are mostly upcoming, and include the Doug Liman-directed Chaos Walking, as well as Godzilla Vs. Kong, Masters of the Universe, Barbarella and Dungeons and Dragons, all big scale stuff.

They will lock one of the three quickly (if there is a front runner, it might be Smith), and the film will be scripted based on Tarantino’s idea while Tarantino is filming his next film about the Manson summer of 1969, which got set at Sony and has I, Tonya‘s Margot Robbie poised to play Sharon Tate, and Cruise, Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt all having met with the filmmaker about roles.

As for why the crew never seem to use EVA suits in situations where hazard protection and a portable air supply would actually be useful, I suppose it's a combination of the main actors not wanting to wear uncomfortable, bulky suits for a long shoot and a desire to see the actors on the screen without their faces and silhouettes being masked by a suit.

It's probably less "actors not wanting [anything]" (unless the actor's name is Patrick Stewart) and way more "if we keep them in the same costume all day we don't have to lose any shooting time waiting for the actors to get dressed".


Grand Fromage posted:

Yeah. I don't see why it'd have to be a crime movie but you could easily do a Tarantino criminal Star Trek movie if you just put it outside the Federation. We already saw the edges of that world in DS9.

If it's just bump-heads in space doing crimes I'm not sure why making it a Star Trek would be more compelling than nearly any other setting.

I don’t think this is gonna be space gangsters, Tarantino may have pigeonholed himself a bit but if he is making this movie for Paramount under auspices of Abrams he is surely going to focus on the same characters as the last three movies. All the more so if it’s R-rated, that’s a big risk to take. Maybe he’ll finally get a decent performance out of Quinto.
