>During his press junket for the upcoming SciFi Channel’s ‘The Triangle’, executive producer Bryan Singer talked about his love of STAR TREK and his willingness and desire to direct a STAR TREK feature.
Singer an avowed STAR TREK fan himself, says that he has thought about directing a Trek movie. “I’m a huge fan,” Singer said.
Singer added: “We’re huge Trekkies. And we’ve always talked about what we would do, and what would I do, if I were to make a film in that universe.”
It’s unclear when or if Paramount will mount another Trek film, since its last effort, STAR TREK: Nemesis, did poorly at the box office and the last Trek series, STAR TREK: Enterprise, was canceled after drawing low ratings.
Singer has kept a strong link with the Trek universe. He made a cameo appearance in Nemesis. He also worked on the last two X-Men films with The Next Generation’s Patrick Stewart (Jean-Luc Picard). Singer is currently finishing Superman Returns and is working on his next project, an update of the SF movie Logan’s Run.
“Again, you know, it’s the same thing: X-Men, Superman, Logan’s Run, all these things: There are these incredible universes, really,” Singer said, adding: “You kind of wish you could play in them all. I mean, I got to do a cameo in the last STAR TREK film; that was a thrill. I got to be on the Enterprise when it was under attack.”
As for what he would do in his version of a STAR TREK movie? “[That’s] a longer story,” he said. “It would involve … it would be big. It would be very big.”
