STAR TREK head honcho Rick Berman has signed a new five-year contract with Paramount Studios, at an estimated value of over $10 million. Berman, who is currently overseeing the successful first year of the STAR TREK-prequel show ENTERPRISE and production on STAR TREK: NEMESIS, told VARIETY it is his hope to work on non-TREK projects as part of the deal.
"There's nothing that dictates you giving your all (more) than the first season of a new TV series," Berman told the trade paper. "And I'm going to be very committed to ENTERPRISE; it needs a lot of nurturing for at least a couple more years. (But) during the course of this next five-year deal, I'm going to force myself to find the time to start branching out. I want to work on the kind of projects where people drive cars and wear sneakers --something a little more earthbound."
No specific word yet on whether or how this might fuel another STAR TREK series after ENTERPRISE.
