Directors That Never Were. Star Trek movies have a rich history of hiring top-tier directing talent. Whether it is Oscar-winners like Robert Wise, or newcomers like Jonathan Frakes, the filmmakers behind the franchise can be relied on to turn out a high-quality product. But who were the people who almost made Star Trek movies?

In this episode of Stage Nine, Mike and John take a look at the people who may have directed Star Trek in an alternate reality. We discuss filmmakers such as Philip Kaufman, Ron Howard, Harve Bennett, and even Ridley Scott, and wonder what their movies may have been like.
