## Brent Spiner on 'Justice League' idea
Brent Spiner says his and John Logan's Star Trek crossover idea was a 'pipe dream' because it was too expensive for Paramount.

> Thing is, it was a pipe dream on our parts, because obviously, nobody could afford to do that. Particularly not after my salary
## Paramount rejected the concept
Paramount executives said they wouldn't fund the Star Trek crossover movie after Spiner and Logan's pitch.

> Yeah, we had meetings, and they said, ‘Nah, we don’t want to do that’
## The 'Justice League' concept
The idea involved Star Trek captains, crews, and villains from different eras teaming up through time travel.

> 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
## Cost was the main problem
Spiner says the time travel and Mirror Universe elements would have been too expensive to produce.

> The problem with that more than anything is cost, how do you pay for that?
## Star Trek franchise in decline
Star Trek: Nemesis failed at the box office, ending the Star Trek: The Next Generation movie franchise.

> Star Trek: Nemesis bombed critically and at the box office, putting an end to the Star Trek: The Next Generation movie franchise
## Paramount shifts focus
Paramount moved Star Trek to J.J. Abrams after Star Trek: Nemesis failed, but the franchise later faced new challenges.

> After four years, Paramount gave the keys to Star Trek to J.J. Abrams
## Current Star Trek future
Skydance's new Star Trek movies aim to break away from legacy characters to attract new audiences.

> Skydance's priority is to launch new Star Trek movies, with the first known project by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein containing no legacy characters
## Key takeaway

Brent Spiner says a Star Trek crossover movie with multiple generations of characters would have been 'fantastic' but too costly for Paramount to produce.
