Star Trek: Section 31

Now in production in Toronto and some casting news:

Star Trek: Section 31 Movie Starring Michelle Yeoh Adds Omari Hardwick, Sam Richardson and Others

 

[Yespage]

This has one of those 'This would have been a great idea... but they shouldn't have made the movie' feels. I have only seen Section 31 referenced in DS9. Is it elsewhere in the shows as of late (last 15 years)?

Section 31 feels like it is better kept to the imagination.

Is it elsewhere in the shows as of late (last 15 years)?

It was featured prominently in one of the Discovery seasons, including the main character played by Michelle Yeoh. This movie is a Discovery spinoff.

It was originally meant to be a series but I expect recent economics got in the way. Hopefully a 2-3 hour movie can give us a tighter story. Probably have a year or 2 to wait and see.

It was going to be a series, Michelle Yeoh said she did not want to do another series, hence we get a movie.

Yeah, Michelle can’t be expected to be everywhere, every time, all at once…

ST: Enterprise featured a few episodes that involved Section 31.

If it didn't Say Star Trek in the beginning, it could have been for ANY other Movie.

Probably Won't be watching.

The first two did not become profitable until they hit the home market, hence why there have not been any new movies.

Star Trek-
Budget-$150M + marketing of $100M
Final Box Office-$385M

Star Trek Into Darkness
Budget-$190M + marketing of $100M
Final Box Office-$467M

The 3rd one lost a lot of money.

It cost $185M + about $100M in marketing, it needed to make about $600M to break even, Box Office was $343M Worldwide.

In those days, there were discs sales and VOD (PPV) to help make a movie profitable.

In today’s world, both disc sales and VOD buys barely exist, everyone waits for a movie to be on Paramount+, MAX, etc.

Looks like adolescent boy eye candy. Doesn’t resemble Star Trek ANYTHING.

Damn bean counters anyway...
