Origin of what?

This is an excellent question.

I kinda hope it’s like a movie about the literal origin of Star Trek as a television show. At this point, I feel like that would have a better chance of actually getting made then anything set in universe.

After watching “The Offer” I’m totally in on this idea. It would be awesome.

This is an idea I ran by a fellow Trekkie awhile ago. An “Ed Wood” like movie about the behind the scenes of TOS. Satirize it from a place of love, focus on the drama between the cast and the antagonism between the studio and Gene. Quality movie material!

Have you seen Shadow of the Vampire? It’s a fiction about the filming of Nosferatu (1922) where they actually used a real vampire as the main character

It’s probably a college comedy movie about how Archer got through school and on the path to captaincy

I’d watch that - there aren’t enough movies featuring water polo.

Which is baffling, considering just how visually interesting the sport is.

It’s just three hours of delivery room footage

LOL I would love if a new Trek film comes out and it’s just some extremely esoteric avant-garde production.

Give me Warhol’s “Empire” but it’s just an extended 8 hour cut of the flyby scene in TMP.
