Creator Noah Hawley is currently reinvigorating the Alien franchise thanks to his incredible FX series Alien: Earth. And a few years back, he created one of the unique X-Men-related projects ever with Legion. But not that long ago, he was also developing a Star Trek film. This was one of the many, many different Star Trek feature film projects that Paramount has been developing since Star Trek Beyond back in 2016. Not surprisingly, given the subject matter on Alien: Earth, the film Hawley was developing was going to tie into the beloved Star Trek: The Next Generation android officer, Data (Brent Spiner). Here’s what Hawley told Men’s Journal, via Slashfilm, about developing his now-canceled Trek film:
It was great. And we had sound stages in Australia. We were on the runway, and we were negotiating with actors. Mostly, what I can say is that it was a really hard loss because we got so close. It was an original story that was not Chris Pine-related, nor was it Captain Kirk-related. I guess the thing that might stick with people is that there was an unboxing of Data, the idea of the android. And that was to become an element in the films.
So would this movie have been about the actual creation of the first sentient android, Data? A prequel to The Next Generation of sorts? In Star Trek canon, Data was the lifelong dream of a brilliant scientist named Dr. Noonien Soong. His prototype sentient android, Lore, became twisted and evil, forcing his creator to deactivate him. Data became Soong’s second, more successful attempt, created without emotional capabilities because of what happened to his “brother.” All of this might have been great fodder for a Star Trek film, but we see how some of those ideas are now playing out on Alien: Earth. In the meantime, Paramount remains committed to still making the fourteenth Star Trek film. Although what form that may take is still a mystery.
