An eleventh Star Trek film is being planned - even though the tenth is yet to be released. The film's executive producer Rick Berman revealed that the series is too lucrative for studio Paramount not to make another installment. He expects the upcoming Star Trek: Nemesis - released next month in America - to be a huge success, and has little doubt the company would consider dropping them. Berman says, "I can tell you right now we'll be making another film. There's never been a Star Trek movie that wasn't profitable for Paramount. One of the things about Star Trek movies is there's no risk in making them because the studio knows if you spend this much money on producing the film, you're going to make that much money or you might even make that much money. But there's pretty much a window of the profitability of these films, unlike non-Star Trek films which could be total wrecks and not make a dime, or could take off and make $200 million, there's a risk involved. There's very little risk involved in Star Trek films."

We can spend $200 million making a crappy movie that we know hapless fans will see regardless of the reviews. And still make bank [img]smile.gif[/img]
