The 83-year-old star has portrayed the iconic role of Captain Jean-Luc Picard in various film and TV projects within the “Star Trek” sci-fi franchise since 1987. Now, he has expressed his desire to embark on another big-screen adventure.
Speaking to Deadline, Patrick said, “Although I never anticipated there would be a series called ‘Star Trek: Picard,’ I am very enthusiastic that we might undertake one more adventure. And I think it would be best if it were a film. When ‘Next Generation’ concluded, we then produced four films.”
The ‘X-Men’ actor continued, “Now, I’m not suggesting that, but I think, given how different all of the principal characters are in ‘Picard,’ everyone was changed by the passage of time. And this was Alex Kurtzman and Akiva Goldsman talking to me when they pitched ‘Picard’ and discussed how our lives have evolved in 25 years. So, I would like to see the ensemble of us finding a more significant way of saying goodbye.” Despite his wishes, Patrick explained that a new movie has not yet been “agreed upon.”
He said, “We’ll see. Nobody has yet agreed to that, but I’m quietly working away.” Stewart has recently authored his new memoir, ‘Making It So,’ and he shared how he reached out to former ‘Star Trek’ colleagues to ensure the accuracy of his recollection of events.”
He said, “I reached out on occasions. I did. I think primarily to my ‘Star Trek’ colleagues, to confirm if my recollections were accurate regarding the events and the circumstances, and they’ve been lovely. I have a wonderful relationship with all the principal actors who were with me in ‘Next Generation.’ It continues to grow stronger and better with each passing year, particularly when returning to work with them for the three seasons of ‘Picard.’ Filming season 2 and season 3 back-to-back, without a break in between, was quite a feat.”
