The Directors’ Guild of Ontario hotlist is a fairly reliable source for production guild news. Star Trek preproduction in the Greater Toronto Area usually shows up there before any official announcements of production dates.
Today’s hotlist update adds a rumour for a CBS Studios television movie to start production in October.
Is ‘Dovercourt’ the working pseudonym for S31 this round? Or is there some other made for streaming movie in the schedule for CBS Stages Mississauga? Only time will tell…
The latest rumours before the strike characterized the movie as a cross between MI and Guardians of the Galaxy.
If they broaden out an ensemble to include other legacy characters across the franchise with S31, intelligence and/or temporal shenanigans, it could be a lot of fun.
So, loads of quippy dialogue and OTT action scenes? That hasn’t sold me on the idea.
It was intended to reach a different slice of the potential audience, to draw new demographics to the franchise.
Many of us didn’t think that either Lower or Prodigy would be something we’d want to see and they’re favourites.
Fair play, personally I had faith in LD and Prod from their announcement which is why it’s weird not to be hyped for once.
