There is some interesting discussion on the issue of making a DS9 film here: "When I was negotiating for Nemesis they literally threatened to fire me and recast Troi, well not actually recast, but they said "We are going to fire you and hire Jeri Ryan (Seven of Nine from Star Trek Voyager)." And I said "Well Jeri Ryan won’t do it for that money, that is for sure."

UPDATE (Aug 2017): This week, at the Las Vegas Star Trek convention, Marina Sirtis revealed the following about the Jeri Ryan in Nemesis issue:
Jeri Ryan explains why she turned down Star Trek: Nemesis role. However, the actress turned down the role: Apart from Admiral Janeway's cameo, there were plans to have Jeri Ryan star in Nemesis, with Seven of Nine as an Enterprise-E crew member. While there wasn't a plan for a full-blown Voyager film in cinemas, there was an intention to include certain Voyager characters in Nemesis. #Star trek games for ds movie#
VOICE-OVER: The Voyager movie you thought you'd never see.Voyager: Dark Frontier, a Star Trek movie event.īecause the film now airs in syndication as a two-part episode, many have forgotten that this was a genuine made-for-tv movie. It aired during Season 5, but was advertised officially by the UPN Network as a movie: It was a feature-length, made-for-tv movie. Voyager actually had a television movie, titled Voyager: Dark Frontier. Voyager did have a “movie” (on television)

Making DS9 or Voyager films was not going to fix this.Īll in all, both DS9 and Voyager would have been better suited to a television movie or a further mini-series than to the full cinematic treatment.īut then hold on.
The failure of Nemesis in 2003 and the lack of solid ratings numbers for Enterprise basically killed the Prime Timeline of Star Trek as we know it. With some creativity, there is a possibility that Voyager could have been adapted into a general-audience film, but while Voyager played well on the television, I suspect it would have lacked the necessary "umph" for the silver screen. The Dominion saga would have carried a massive back-story burden for the average cinema-goer. In contrast, DS9 and Voyager were not very user-friendly when it came to attracting a newer audience. Even First Contact, the most successful TNG film, was able to re-introduce the Borg without alienating newer fans. It was possible to make a film like Insurrection which one could watch knowing only little about Star Trek, which makes the concept easy to pitch to the studio (which is interested in maximizing returns). #Star trek games for ds series#
The TNG films, like the Original Series films before them, have only a mild back-story burden, given the highly episodic nature of the shows that spawned them. The producers probably felt that more juice could be squeezed from those characters who, on the whole, had a larger, more loyal fan base than the DS9 or Voyager characters. By the time DS9 and Voyager were wrapping up, the TNG film series was still in progress. Here are my speculations about how these discussions would have played out: Of course, there must have been at least some discussion amongst the creative staff. If there were plans, even very preliminary ones, they were never commented on publicly. had ever planned films for either DS9 or Voyager. There is no evidence that any of the major creative staff behind the TNG-DS9-Voyager era - Rick Berman, Brannon Braga, Michael Piller, Jeri Taylor, etc. No plans for DS9 or Voyager films were ever revealed publicly
