I’d be down for an Andor-styled origin story.
I'd be down if they dropped JJ Abrams.
It might be OK so long as JJ sticks to producing has has absolutely no input on the story.
He needs to earn that trust back first.
Someone hide his Mystery Box.
JJ Abrams 🙄
But ... I thought the 2009 film was an origin story?
It was literally the story of how the Kelvinverse came to exist and it followed Kirk, Spock, McCoy and co from their Academy days.
And Discovery. And Strange New Worlds. And Enterprise. And First Contact. How many origin stories does Star Trek need? Paramount needs to stop with the prequels.
Stories are a lot easier to write if you don't have to come up with an ending.
Now we get to see their conceptions
My take is that it’s a Starfleet origin story post-Archer.
EDIT: looking up the timeline of events that puts us somewhere between 2155-2258. I’d say there’s probably a movie within those 100-odd years.
I think they mean Seth Grahme-Smith, author of Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter.
So I'm down. Please not too many pew pew space battles. You can include Abe Lincoln if appropriate. That is precedented and canonical for Star Trek.
Me too weirdly. I have watched the Kelvinverse movies all exactly once, but this doesn't sound so bad.
