09-24-01 "Star Trek: Nemesis" Gets Greenlight The 10th feature film installment of the Star Trek franchise — with the working title of "Star Trek: Nemesis" — will go before the cameras on November 28 under the direction of Hollywood veteran Stuart Baird. "Nemesis," written by "Gladiator" scribe John Logan and produced by Rick Berman, will reunite the Star Trek: The Next Generation cast, headed by Patrick Stewart (“Captain Jean-Luc Picard”) and Brent Spiner (“Data”), for the fourth time in the theaters. Baird previously directed “Executive Decision” in 1996 and “U.S. Marshals” — the sequel to “The Fugitive” — in 1998, but his credits during his 30-year career in Hollywood are varied. Most recently serving as executive producer on Paramount Pictures' “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider,” Baird has gained most of his film experience in the editing room. He has cut together more than 20 features, starting with “Tommy” followed by “The Omen,” “Superman” and “Superman II,” “Outland,” “Lethal Weapon,” “Demolition Man,” “Maverick” and many others. As a director, though, Baird is also currently developing two other action-thrillers at Warner Bros, called “High Tide” and “Nowhere to Hide,” according to The Hollywood Reporter. The film's visual effects will be overseen by Digital Domain, a Venice, California facility that has produced digital shots for numerous Hollywood films including "Titanic," the upcoming "The Time Machine" and "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring," according to Daily Variety. Mark Forker will be the visual effects supervisor. As previously reported, Berman has revealed that the Romulans will be prominently featured in "Nemesis." He has also stated, "We've got, in my mind, the greatest Star Trek villain since han. John [Logan] was intent on creating a wonderful villain, and we've got a doozy." The last two movie installments of Star Trek, "Star Trek: First Contact" and "Star Trek: Insurrection," were directed by cast member Jonathan Frakes (“Will Riker”). The release date for "Nemesis" is not yet confirmed. from startrek.com.
