With the dismal returns of "Star Trek: Nemesis" still lingering and the continued ratings slide of "Enterprise", it looks like the once proud Trek franchise is about to go on hiatus.

Furthering the claim comes word today from IESB who says they have received the first confirmation from Paramount reps that not only Rick Berman's proposed 'prequel concept' but any eleventh movie plan has indeed been cancelled for the time being.

According to the site, they were "told that Paramount was not happy with the direction that the story was headed and that it's not completely cancelled but that they are reworking a few things and that to be rest assured, Star Trek will never be totally cancelled".

Seems the concept moved TOO far away from familiar elements of the franchise which raised concerns.

Thanks to 'Gustavo'.
