Berman Officially Not Part of New Trek Film. Geeks Rejoice.

After endless months of rumor and speculation, the news broke recently of a new Star Trek movie finally
getting underway (you can read the full story here). A director,
writer and producer have already been announced and even the casual Star Trek fans such as myself immediately
noticed the abscence of Rick Berman's name in the initial creditings.
Well fans, you can let out that breath you've been holding since the initial story, because the controversial Berman is
officially non-existent as far as the new Trek film is concerned. Despite the tutelage of the master Gene Roddenberry, Berman has been seen by many fans as a less than impressive presence in the Trekverse, having overseen the perceived decline of the franchise these past several years. While the integrity and overall value of recent Trek projects is certainly open for debate, Berman's disassociation from the new project is hard to see as anything but a plus.
No more Star Trek film?

Well folks, it appears as if our dreams for a Star Trek 11 have
officially been squashed. TrekWeb reports
that Doug Mirabello, who is Rick Berman's personal assistant, told
Dreamwatch magazine (Wait, so magazines interview assistants now?) that you may as well forget about a new Star
Trek film or TV series for the time being. Man, I can almost taste the tears forming under your eyes - but trust
me, I've been there. You know what they say: If you love something, set it free. And if it comes back, then it's yours
forever.
Maybe personal assistant Doug Mirabello needs some time away...to heal. In fact, he says, "I think this is actually for the best – the public needs to want to see Star Trek again. The best way to achieve this is to take it away for a few years and then bring it back and do it right. The franchise needs a totally new creative team, some time off, and a cool new approach." Oh yeah, and what if I meet another Sci-Fi series while you're gone Doug? Huh? And what if we hit it off and I don't want your Star Trek anymore? Something tells me it would be awfully hard to be just friends.
Mirabello also admitted that Erik Jendresen's Star Trek: The Beginning script has been trashed and plans for Patrick Stewart to make a return as well as other past Trek heroes is a long shot at best. So, do you think Mirabello is right? Do you feel as if a longer wait would produce a better product? Or are you itching for more Star Trek right now?
