Patrick Stewart’s new memoir, Making It So, digs into the actor’s relationship with Jean-Luc Picard and Star Trek. He wants a new Picard movie and a different ending for the Picard show.
The Picard show may have wrapped its third and final season in April, but Sir Patrick Stewart isn’t done with Jean-Luc or his story just yet.
In an excerpt from his upcoming memoir, Making It So, published on Time, Stewart shared his hopes for his future in the world of Star Trek.
“I am gently pushing Paramount to let us do one single Picard movie,” Stewart writes. “Not a Next Generation movie, as we have already done four of those. This would be an expansion and deepening of the universe as we’ve seen it in Star Trek: Picard. I’ve discussed this with Jonathan [Frakes], Brent [Spiner], and LeVar [Burton], and they are all game. Jonathan is my first choice to direct it.”
In the excerpt, Stewart also talks about how much convincing he needed from show creators Alex Kurtzman and Akiva Goldsman before originally signing onto the show.
“I was done with him,” Stewart writes.
