   Now, I'm just passing this along. DOn't anyone get their hopes up.   
   Paramount is still not loking to do anything with Trek in the   
   foreseeable future...   
      
   Singer Considers Trek Movie   
      
   Bryan Singer, an avowed Star Trek fan, told SCI FI Wire that he's   
   thought about directing a Trek movie. "I'm a huge fan," Singer said in   
   an interview at the Nov. 30 premiere of the SCI FI Channel's upcoming   
   original miniseries The Triangle, which he executive-produced with   
   Dean Devlin.   
      
   Singer added: "We're huge Trekkies. And we've always talked about what   
   we would do, and what would I do, if I were to make a film in that   
   universe."   
      
   It's unclear when or if Paramount will mount another Trek film, since   
   its last effort, Star Trek: Nemesis, did poorly at the box office and   
   the last Trek series, Star Trek: Enterprise, was canceled after   
   drawing low ratings.   
      
   Singer has kept a strong link with the Trek universe. He made a cameo   
   appearance in Nemesis. He also worked on the last two X-Men films with   
   The Next Generation's Patrick Stewart (Jean-Luc Picard). Singer is   
   currently finishing Superman Returns and is working on his next   
   project, an update of the SF movie Logan's Run.   
      
   "Again, you know, it's the same thing: X-Men, Superman, Logan's Run,   
   all these things: There are these incredible universes, really,"   
   Singer said, adding: "You kind of wish you could play in them all. I   
   mean, I got to do a cameo in the last Star Trek film; that was a   
   thrill. I got to be on the Enterprise when it was under attack."   
      
   As for what he would do in his version of a Star Trek movie? "[That's]   
   a longer story," he said. "It would involve ... it would be big. It   
   would be very big."
