The TV side of the Star Trek franchise has been thriving for seven years now thanks to various shows being delivered exclusively to Paramount+ subscribers (although if you’re a Star Trek: Prodigy fan, you’ll now need a Netflix subscription to keep following along with it). Film-wise, however, there hasn’t been anything delivered since 2016’s Star Trek Beyond, and we’re still no closer to Star Trek 4’s arrival. But while the public continues to wait for the next entry in the Kelvin timeline, another big movie has been…

In 2020, Patrick Stewart reprised Jean-Luc Picard for Star Trek: Picard, which followed nearly 20 years after the movie Star Trek: Nemesis. The show accessible to Paramount+ subscribers took the former captain of the USS Enterprise on a journey that culminated with him reuniting with his Next Generation cohorts in the third and final season last year.

But Sanctuary Districts rapidly descended into totalitarian ghettos, with local police forces ruling the districts with iron…

After Dominic West revealed over the weekend that he’s no longer friends with Prince Harry, more details have emerged about how Harry reportedly was annoyed that the actor said too much at a press conference about the “two-day bender” they and others enjoyed upon reaching the South Pole on a 2013 charity trek with injured military veterans. During an interview Sunday with Times Radio, West, who plays King Charles III in the Netflix series “The Crown,” didn’t say much about his falling-out with Harry, only that “we sort of…

Not so long ago, the idea of Quentin Tarantino making a Star Trek movie seemed as far out as a tribble one day captaining the starship Enterprise. Perhaps that’s why QT shelved his long-mooted “R-rated”, ultra-violent take on the Apollo-era optimism of Gene Roddenberry – or perhaps he just figured he had other projects worth prioritising.Back in 2017, Tarantino publicly pitched the idea of a feature-length riff on the 1968 original series episode A Piece of the Action, which is set on an Earth-like planet where a 1930s…
