TOS is willing to be remade/rethought. TNG is not. How come?(lemmy.world)

Where is a new set of actors for TNG? If a new TNG series/movie was made, who could the actors be for that?

Maybe Paramount Global should negotiate with the TNG cast (including Patrick Stewart) for rights to their likeness and voice (kinda like they did with James Earl Jones) before any more of them die.

Ugh. They probably already have, but nothing would make me less interested in a new Trek show than some other actor wearing Patrick Stewart’s CGI skin.

maybe in another 20 years after nu-trek fails and they want to recapture millennials with nu-nu-trek.

The TOS reboot movies were a mistake

They are action movies with star trek names scattered about.

Beyond was good, and Urban as Bones was perfect casting that will never be duplicated.

William Shatner was the only actor to portray Kirk for the 43 years between 1966 and 2009. TNG premiered in 1989, “only” 35 years ago. I’m sure a reboot of some sort will happen one day, just be patient.

1987, not 1989

The obvious answer for who to play Picard in the TNG remake is James MacAvoy.

Anyone foolish enough to try to play Picard will be met only with disappointment.

James Macavoy is 45. Patrick Stewart was 47 when TNG first aired. So Macavoy hasn’t got much time to get himself ready to play the most important role of his lifetime!
