Have we seen the last of Worf? Not if Michael Dorn gets his way. The Star Trek: The Next Generation star wants to make a brand new low-budget movie, either direct to DVD or for cable TV. He's writing it himself — he's already started — and he thinks it could go alongside the big budget J.J. Abrams movies without cannibalizing the audience.
Talking to TrekMovie, Dorn explains:
TrekMovie.com: So where do you see Worf now?
Michael Dorn: He is captain of a ship – a Federation ship. He is out there in the front lines basically chasing terrorists.
TrekMovie.com: So you want to make it edgier? Darker?
Michael Dorn: Totally, totally. I think we will have some of our Star Trek people in it, but mostly new characters. It will be interwoven into the fabric of Star Trek. And also what we going through right now.
TrekMovie.com: When do you think you are going to have your first meeting at CBS?
Michael Dorn: I have couple meetings I want to do before that. First with Rick Berman, who produced all of our shows, just to see what he thinks. Then my manager. And I know people at SyFy. And I'll just start gathering information. If anything happens it is going to be next year because I have a bunch of stuff to do this year. I have already started writing the script and excuse my language, but it f-ing great.
Let's hope nobody keeps dismissing Worf's input this time around.
