Michael Dorn spills the latest on his Worf-centric Trek spinoff
 
Tweet 
Earlier this year we heard that Star Trek: The Next Generation star, and
everyone's favorite Klingon, Michael Dorn was pitching a new Trek
flick  centered on his character, Worf. We've already seen how fans
have responded to the idea, but what about Hollywood?
Though he's also busy with other things, most notably a romantic
comedy  he's funding through Kickstarter, Dorn's Worf idea has been
making the rounds among people who might want to help make it happen ...
and it turns out there's quite a bit of interest.
"Once I started thinking about it, it became obvious to me that I wanted
to at least put it out there, which I have, and the response has been
pretty amazing. We've been contacted by different individuals-I can't
say who and all that-about wanting to come on board and be part of this.
Also, there's all the political stuff going on with the new movies, with
J.J. Abrams and Paramount and all that stuff, which I have no clue about
and what it all entails, but that's where it is right now."
According to Dorn, the film would be a darker take on Trek, and would
feature a post- Next Generation Worf captaining a Federation ship, "out
there in the front lines basically chasing terrorists." It's too early
for even Dorn to really know if the idea will become a reality, but how
confident is he?
"Interestingly enough it has gotten traction. I was very surprised, I
was on a movie not too long ago, where one of the producers was
basically lobbying to be part of it. He was like 'Michael, I'd love to
write it, if you haven't.' So at this point, my agents and my manager
are looking at all the avenues and trying to figure out which is the
best one. My agent and manager have been in the business for awhile, so
they're very savvy about where to start and how to get it going. Like I
said, in this business you never know and I've been through pitching
things and I never want to do that again [laughs]. It's pretty brutal,
but definitely I think once again, if Paramount or CBS or anybody thinks
this is a viable thing, they'll jump on it."
In the meantime, Dorn will no doubt keep lobbying for the flick. But
what about other opportunities to put on the Klingon makeup one more
time? When asked if he'd ever appear in a dream sequence or something
similar on The Big Bang Theory, where co-stars Wil Wheaton, LeVar Burton
and Brent Spiner have already had cameos, Dorn wasn't very intrigued.
Worf might get his own movie, but sitcom life isn't for him.
"That's a long shot I think. Not so much about the process, but you're
pushing the envelope by putting the Worf makeup on and going on another
show in another genre, you're asking for trouble. Even in a dream
sequence its one of those things where if you did that, I think you're
driving the stake into his heart at that point-not into his heart, but
into the character's heart."
So, what do you think? What are the chances that we'll see Worf again?
