Undeveloped Star Trek projects
memory-alpha.fandom.com
Many projects have been partially developed for Star Trek, beginning in the 1970s. There have also been deleted scenes for completed projects. The God Thing (1975) Star Trek: Planet of the Titans (1976-1977) Star Trek III (1980) Star Trek: The First Adventure (1989) Star Trek: IMAX (1997) Star Trek: The Beginning (2005) Star Trek 4 (alternate reality) (2019) The notion of a Star Trek film was originally considered amid the making of TOS Season 2, while DeForest Kelley, Gene Roddenberry, and Greg

Spiner himself explained,

One of the ideas that John Logan and I had about what the next film would have been was a Justice League of Star Trek. Something would bring all the great Star Trek villains together, from Khan to Shinzon, and Picard is the only person who could stop them and he actually has to go through time and pluck out the people he needs to help him. He goes back to the moment before Data blows up and takes him back to get Kirk and Spock, and go even further back and get Scott Bakula’s character, Archer.

I can’t imagine it would have been good, but boy do I wish I existed in a universe where this movie had been made.

    I think this is a great take.

    I get the appeal. Cross overs are enticing. But Zach Snyder’s justice League demonstrates a huge challenge that most people don’t seem to discuss: the recruitment needs to have a purpose.

    Remember when Batman is asking Aquaman to be in his movie team? It’s clear that the only reason is that the team is not a means, it’s the end. He doesn’t need him for any particular reason, he just spends the he could be trying to solve a mystery building a club from scratch with no clear purpose. I think this set up would have the same problem.
