    Skydance: Started and run by Larry Ellison’s son, David Ellison, and being that, it’s impossible for him to run out of money.

    I hope he’s a Trekkie.

        I wish that made me more confident that they can make decent Trek movies and TV, but it doesn’t

          If your concerns are on the creative side of things, I don’t think that’s really what they do - their expertise seems to be getting things made.

          I get the hate for those movies, but I honestly enjoyed them all.

          They are what got me to watch TOS, finally. Then I did a full watch through of the series. They were great for revitalizing the fan base and making new fans.

          I honestly love having the movies as a different universe/timeline. Saves us from tone whiplash, like Shakespeare TNG Picard vs Rambo Movie Picard.
