With the disappointing numbers from "Star Trek: Nemesis," Paramount and producer Rick Berman must be scratching their heads trying to figure out how to proceed with another "Star Trek" film. But they're going to have to do so without Patrick Stewart. While "Nemesis" hinted that it would be the last "Star Trek" film to feature the "Next Generation" cast, Stewart confirmed today that he will no longer be a part of the "Star Trek" universe. In an interview with Lisa Zlotnick, when asked about returning as Captain Picard, Stewart revealed, "I don’t think so. I think the Next Generation is over with. I’ve probably said goodbye to Piccard forever now." Stay tuned for more from Patrick Stewart, as he gears up as Professor X in "X2: X-Men United."
