WARNING! Possible Trek X spoilers ahead (although I doubt it)!

From Section31.com:

The following piece appeared in today's British tabloid "The Sun". The paper can be characterized as unreliable, but the piece is interesting nonetheless:

'Brit actor Patrick Stewart is so determined that the next Star Trek Movie will be his last he has written the script of Captain Jean Luc Picard's death. Patrick, 60 - who has played the space commander since taking over from William Shatner in 1987 refuses to say how the hero Star logs off. But the plot is believed to involve a deadly enemy...and fellow Brit Alan Rickman has been lined up for the part. Patrick said "With the movie I have very strong feelings that it should be the last for the Next Generation, at least the last for Jean-Luc Picard. "We have at the moment a 28-page storyline, which sounds really exciting."

(Sub Heading) CLONING "I have Written an ending for Picard in which we finally kill him off and producers are looking over it now. All I can say is that this film will deal with a supreme and hopefully memorable villain. There's some cloning involved, and enemy Romulans But I will say no more." The death scene is one of a number being considered by Executive Producer Rick Berman. But he HAS agreed that Picard must die. Star Trek has already disappeared from TV. The last series of The Next Generation was filmed two years ago and producers say they have no plans for another. Shooting for the movie, Star Trek 10, is due to start in the Autumn. It should hit cinemas in Spring 2002.'

I'm just copy/pasting this, and I thought this part was reason enough not flame me about mistakes I made in my 'Hey look what facts I found here' days...

Nowadays I post these things in a more 'Do with this as you wish' way. Just putting it here and see what happens. But I'll try to remember to add a warning next time.

THANK YOU TSN!

I get so sick of people bitching about, and overreacting to spoliers. The topic says "...about Trek X???" a common sense would tell you that there'd be spoliers without $'s.

*Whew* Now that I got that out...

Posted by Nim (Member # 205) on :

No, it said "Stewart on Trek X". I sure as hell didn't expect HIM to let out that kind of a spoiler! Notice that I haven't participated in any other of the recent "obvious" ST:X-threads!

Also, as had been pointed out, the Sun (newspaper) is about as reliable as the stiching on Simon's trousers.

It's almost certainly 100% bollocks.

Like a flight Steward, QW.

I believe the Sun like I believe that story they (I assume it was them, or one like them) published on Alien 5 which was laughed out of the news by every reputable and semi-reputable reporting site online.
Oh, and that would be a big hint on their reliablity like was said earlier, about how Trek's been off TV for years now.

It's almost unbeliveably obvious that if Picard dies, it will be a clone and he will be fine in the end.

Well, UM, in his official position as MASTER OF THE PUN, was pointing out that "Steward" can be used to mean "flight attendent", and that "Patrick Steward about TrekX???" could mean that this thread is about information that a flight steward, called Patrick, has about TrekX???.

PsyLiam, the negotiator?

I would like to apologize for my nasty outburst up there, last monday. I was in a bad mood and overreacted. I would like to make it clear that I hold nothing against your particular type of currency , it was just a misguided attempt at lightening up the post.
It is just a movie.

I have heard Brent Spiner talking before about how he doesn't want to do Data again, but the prospect of a bigger pay cheque usually lures them back.

Besides that, any speculation at this stage is usually always a load of shite.

Posted by The Talented Mr. Gurgeh (Member # 318) on :

They said something about rumours of a CGI Data, which does sound a bit odd, though they did do Brandon Lee for a few scenes in CGI after he died, and presumably the technology has come along a bit since then. Brent Spiner probably is getting a bit old for the part alright. It would be a nice irony to have Data done in CGI.

Is there some other spelling for "Anomaly" that I'm not aware of? I've been referred as an "anomoly" quite a bit now.
