The Directors’ Guild of Ontario hotlist is a fairly reliable source for production guild news. Star Trek preproduction in the Greater Toronto Area usually shows up there before any official announcements of production dates.

Today’s hotlist update adds a rumour for a CBS Studios television movie to start production in October.

Is ‘Dovercourt’ the working pseudonym for S31 this round? Or is there some other made for streaming movie in the schedule for CBS Stages Mississauga? Only time will tell…

It’s a direct-to-streaming movie with the winner of the Best Actress Oscar.

Calling it an ‘event’ is fair in this case.

Movies pay more than series. “Direct to streaming” and “movie event” sound like contrivances to get around paying the cast and crew properly.

Goofy move, given the current labour climate. And sociopathically extractive even outside that context.

Won’t be watching this one. Y’all do as you please.

You seem to be assuming that a direct to streaming movie was Paramount’s preference rather than a second option to go forward in the face of Michelle Yeoh’s scheduling limitations following her winning just about every major award in 2022 for her performance in Everything, Everywhere, All At Once.

The series buy was already decided but not announced due to the situation on Yeoh’s side. Kurtzman has basically salvaged the situation with a streaming movie. Hopefully, it will also get a limited IMAX air theatrical release too but there’s no word on that.
