Star Trek franchise owners Viacom has announced that it has no current plans to make another Star Trek film.
Viacom's plans, or lack of them, were revealed recently when video game publisher Activision announced that it is breaking its deal with the company to produce Star Trek games.
Activision will also sue Viacom on the basis that since obtaining a ten-year licence there has only been one Trek film that it could produce a tie-in game for.
"Through its actions and inactions, Viacom has let the once proud Star Trek franchise stagnate and decay," the games company said in a statement.
"Viacom has released only one Star Trek movie since entering into agreement with Activision and has recently informed Activision it has no current plans for further Star Trek films."
This would seem to suggest that the box office failure of Star Trek: Nemesis has led to an end to the Trek movie franchise, at least for the near future.
The case brought by Activision also bemoans the failure of recent Trek TV series' Star Trek: Voyager and Enterprise to capture large audiences so creating potential customers for their products.
