We know from Kurtzman’s messaging at NYCC recently that Michelle Yeoh put her Academy Award star power towards ensue that her Section 31 ‘movie event’ moves forward on Paramount+.
Checking in on the Director’s Guild of Canada Ontario round up of information for its members (Hot List), there’s been an interesting update.
While ‘Dovercourt’ (working title alias for the direct to streaming movie) still has a bold ‘POSTPONED’ due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, it’s moved from the ‘Preproduction stage’ section of the list to ‘Production.’
What does this suggest?
It would seem that the key preproduction production design work in Toronto has been able to be completed since the WGA strike ended.
Like SNW, the crews in Toronto are basically ready to go into production once the actors’ strike is settled. Logistically, it’s not entirely clear that both could shoot at the same time as they share some of the same crews, but it is encouraging.
This is like the least aniticipated Trek for me personally. Its probably unpopular to say this, but I didn’t like her in Discovery and especially as the mirror universe character she just got really boring.
