The Canmag.com Web site reported a rumor that William Shatner is one of the former Star Trek captains who would appear in a proposed new Trek movie set in the "mirror" universe. Citing an anonymous source, the site reported that a script is floating around for a proposed new movie that would bring together Shatner's Capt. James T. Kirk, Patrick Stewart's Capt. Jean-Luc Picard and possibly Scott Bakula's Capt. Jonathan Archer. The movie would be a prequel film set in the evil parallel universe first introduced in the original Star Trek episode "Mirror, Mirror" and last scene in the Star Trek: Enterprise two-part episode "In a Mirror, Darkly."
Shatner was rumored to be up for a guest role in the last season of Enterprise, which ended in May, but never appeared. The site reported that the proposed film might incorporate elements of that episode as well.
Officially, Paramount has made no announcements about a future Trek movie of any kind, and cast and crew members have repeatedly said on the record that they know of no plans for a further installment in the venerable movie franchise.
I hope this is true - I'd totally watch this.
The original evil goatees!

Hmmph, they seem to be leaving out the show that did the most with that universe though. No Intendent? Not interested (unless they killed her off and I've forgotten).
DS9
is the red-headed stepchild of the Trek franchise, unfortunately. They even leave Sisko off the captain rolls, although to be strictly picky, he never captained the
Enterprise,
of any vintage.

And it is unfortunate because it's my favorite Trek.
DS9 is the best. I just watched Q-Less again, which has one of my favorite exchanges: "You hit me! Picard never hit me!" "I'm not Picard!"

Best. Trek. Evah! A note it's the one that had (1) major arcs, (2) the most angst/darkness, and (3) let major characters have conflicts with each other for the entire run of the series.
TNG (and needless to say, Voyager) sucked by their final seasons. DS9 never jumped the shark, and was still going strong by the end of its run.
One time DS9 saved my sister's life, while Enterprise, TNG, Voyager, TOS, Farscape, B5, SG1, SGA, and BSG were all too busy tripping over each other (or, in the case of BSG, deciding whether she was a Cylon), to do anything about it!
Also, DS9 isn't hung like a horse, horses are hung like DS9!
Oh! I forgot to mention (and I didn't catch if someone else mentioned it) about Narnia....
Ginarrbrik, the dwarf manservant for the White Witch, is played by the wonderful and talented Kiran Shah, and those of you who remember Viggo's dead on impersonation of him ("No, I'm afraid to even take a bath...") will recognize his voice, instantly. His performance is one of the highlights of the film.

Eh, I thought the replacement of Dax was a little shark-jumpy, but I would agree that it was still pretty strong through to the end, and certainly ended the strongest of any of them.
