Nicole DeBoer willing to appear in DS9 movie
Reported at TGL by Chris Howell
Tom Elmore attended the Dragon Con over the weekend of September 3-6, and reports that "During a panel discussion Nicole DeBoer (Ezri Dax ST:DS9) was asked about the status of a DS9 film. She replied that she did not know about any projects that were going on but that she felt they should do at least some made for tv films. She furthered added that she "would love to" play Dax again."
"DeBoer also added that after getting the part she screened all the episodes of DS9 and noticed that Jazeda Dax always stood with her arms and hands behind her back. Therefore to add a subtle touch of continuity, she decided to do the same."

This would be great! Although I must admit, I liked Jadzia better, it would be great to have Dax back in the movies.
I think the casts of Star Trek work best when they're together. They all began as one crew, they should end as one crew.

I honestly believe there should be a DS9 movie. I've only seen the first few seasons and random episodes from latter seasons. But I respect DS9's place in Trek history. Why should it get a movie? Because it simply deserves one.
As I don't know what transpired in the last episode of DS9, I don't know how viable a movie is but I want one. I really do.

I like Ezri more. I was disappointed that her character never had more time to develop. I would really like to see a DS9 movie...

I don't think they should make any movie for DS9, it has a definite beginning and ending. The primary mission of the station was complete, to add Bajor to the United Federation of Planets.

I agree. Ds9 has earned a movie. At least one geez. We all really want one too.

Dude what the hell? The primary mission of that station was not induct the Bajorans into the Federation.

Not later, but that *was* its original mission. Watch "Emissary" again.
Picard: "How would you feel about Bajor becoming a member of the Federation?"
Sisko: "I'd say they're not ready."
Picard: "Your job is to do everything, short of violating the prime directive, to make sure that they are."
That said, Bajor was *not* a Federation member as of "What You Leave Behind".
That didn't happen until Unity, which will be re-released in paperback a few months from now. Its more or less the season 8 finale, if you count the previous Relaunch books as the bulk of season 8. Sisko also returns in Unity, although apparently not to resume his position as commander of the station.
As for a DS9 film.....I don't know. I'd love it in principal, but there's a lot of ways that such a film could end up being a disappointment. And that might be worse than no film.
As Spock once said, "You may find that having is not so nice a thing as wanting."

I know the Federation wanted Bajor to join the Federation but that wasn't its primary reason for being there. If it was then they would have revolved more around that. It was mentioned in what? 5 episodes? That wasn't its purpose. In fact the station was built before the Federation took it over. Im sure that was one reason for being there but nots it sole reason.

VERY true. I have the poster on my wall. 
But its really true. DS9 is beautiful, and I dont want to see people turned off of DS9 if they mess up and make a *beep* movie.

There is no way they can mess it up. Perhaps make a movie about Sisko's return?

Originally, no, they were just there to provide aid. But after the discovery of the wormhole, it became a key political hotspot, and it would have been advantageous to eventually bring Bajor into the Federation proper.
It was never a primary theme of the show, but it was always sort of assumed, I think, that Bajor would eventually join once they got their situation straightened out.

You're right, it wasn't mentioned a lot. But the fact that one of the few was the pilot speaks for a lot, I think.

Well, it was built by the Cardassians for an entirely different reason, so that's not really relevent here.

True. The primary reason at first was to provide relief and assistence to the Bajorans, and to bring stability to the area. Eventually it became a key tactical position as well, but that was later.

Sure they can mess it up----the people currently in charge of Trek had almost nothing to do with DS9. Most of the people behind DS9 have moved on to other projects.
If the original creative team set out to make a DS9 movie, I have no doubt it'd be good. If the people who've been running Enterprise for the last few years, the people who made Nemesis......if they tried to make a DS9 movie, I'd worry. A lot.
| Quote: | | Perhaps make a movie about Sisko's return? |
That seems to be the popular idea. However, even though the books aren't canon, the DS9 Relaunch is still some of the highest-quality Trek literature available......I'd hate to see it contradicted if it didn't have to be.

Yes, I agree. The post series DS9 books are really good. I like them alot. Avatar was a really good book about it.
But despite all that, yes, DS9 could be easily ruined by a crappy movie. And I really really dont want that to happen. Maybe theyd better skip the idea entirely...

Truer words were never spoken. Those words ring true for me when I think about this proposed Superman movie that I just KNOW won't be as good as the definitive 1978 version. But that's another topic.
Interesting comments from everyone. It would help if I watched seasons 4, 5, 6 and 7 of DS9 before finally deciding whether a movie would be appropriate. And the other question is, should there be another movie? We've had constant Trek since 1987. Are we Trekked-Out as Marina Sirtis would say?
What are the options for future Trek movies? TOS cast are too old (although I wouldn't say no to a Sulu movie). TNG doesn't need another movie (I think Nemesis was a brilliant finale). VOY is a distinct possibility, although the fact that they got home would bring into question the need for such a movie. ENT would be a bad idea, I don't think it's fair on the ENT cast to expect them to carry a movie and who would want it?
And as for this talk about a movie featuring new characters, have we really got the time and inclination to start caring about the lives and careers of a whole new set of characters?
I hope it's a few years before we see another Trek movie. If I can watch the rest of DS9, I'll decide whether I think that'd be a good idea for a movie.

Oh Lord. Spock said something so now we're jumping on the I hate DS9 movie idea. Ok DS9 was the first ST series I watched. I remember being captivated by it. I hated the others shows when I tried to watch them. No other show had so many captivating charecters, great story, powerful bad guys. This show defined what it meant to be in space. No more solving problems within an hour. As a fan once said "Ds9 tuaght us we don't need a starship to boldy go." This show was amazing from beginning to end. People could relate to some of the charecters. The actors were amazing. This can potentially be one of the best ST movies ever. I only asak that they make one. DS9 has earned its place in the ST pantheon and it would be stupid to throw it away to make a movie about ENT or VOY. Im sorry but VOY came home. That story is done. There is so much left to do with DS9. The war ended thats it. Yes books talk about Sisko's return but not everyone reads the book. We should see it in the movies. ENT has not earned the right to a movie yet. DS9 deserves just one movie. Yes we may be dissapointed by it but there is still always the show to look back on. We will never know how good a movie can be if it isn't at least attempted.

In theory, I'm behind you on this completely.
Its just that given the current state of Paramount Politics, I don't see DS9 getting a fair shake in the cinema. I think it would be a disappointment.
If Manny Coto (who is taking over the creative supervision of Enterprise this year) turns out to be the savior it seems like he might be for ENT, its possible he might be able and willing to pull off a DS9 movie. Maybe.
Then there's the problem of getting the actors back. Some will definately be willing; others, like Avery Brooks, might be more trouble.

Given the success of the various book-only Trek series (ST: Starfleet Corps of Engineers, ST: IKS Gorkon, ST: New Frontier, ST: Stargazer, ST: Challenger), I'd say that a new-cast movie is at least worth considering.

Yeh, I liked Jadzia a lot better than Ezri too. I just think Ezri reminded me too much of a school girl.
I guess a DS9 movie could work, but am still hopefull of another next gen movie being more of a fan of that series myself. In any case, I will still go to see any ST movie

It's hard to see how they would develop a plot consistent with ds9. If you remember, everyone went their separate ways. How would you get them back on the station without making it too cheesy?

Yes, you are right. If they make a DS9 movie, it's gonna be a lot harder than making a TNG movie for instance. Still, I think they should try it.
