A while ago we reported that Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan writer/director Nicholas Meyer was working on a ‘mystery’ Star Trek project.
Widely regarded as one of Trek’s greatest movement, Khan is still an iconic character in sci-fi – even to the point that Star Trek: Into Darkness tried to retell the story with Benedict Cumberbatch in the role originally played by Ricardo Montalban (above), although it was met with, well let’s just say, mixed reviews.
Meyer has recently been working on Star Trek: Discovery but now we’re hearing that his new project will explore the origins of Khan:
Meyer will reportedly be developing a prequel miniseries, or limited series that would take place on Ceti Alpha V and chronicle Khan and his followers struggling to survive in the years between when Kirk dropped him off on the planet at the end of [classic series episode] “Space Seed” and when the crew of the U.S.S. Reliant finds them early in The Wrath of Khan.
Interesting, huh?
Would you be interested in more exploration of the character or do you think less known the better?
We want to hear from you guys…
