Things don't look good right now for another STAR TREK film starring Patrick Stewart and his NEXT GENERATION crew members. Representatives for IGN FilmForce were in attendance during last weekend's United Fan Con held in Boston where actress Marina Sirtis (Counselor Troi) was a guest of honor. When asked when the next TREK movie would arrive in theaters, Sirtis told the crowd "It's over. There's not going to be another one."

Sirtis also suggested that the last TREK movie, NEMESIS, would have been a blockbuster had Paramount released the film two months later than it did. The actress felt that the close proximinity of the release of THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE TWO TOWERS greatly hurt the box office performance of NEMESIS, and had the movie opened in February, would have been a hit.

Sirtis' comments further underscore that, for the first time in more than 20 years, Paramount has no desire to make a new STAR TREK movie. She suggested that maybe the franchise needs to remain fallow for a decade at least before being brought back.
