In 2024, a computer graphics company called Otoy teamed up with the Roddenberry Archive to make a sanctioned, perhaps even canonical "Star Trek" short film called "765874 - Unification." The 11-minute short, directed by Carlos Baena and written by Jules Urbach, was released on the Roddenberry.x.io website on November 18, and many Trekkies were surprised to see the presence of notable actors such as William Shatner, Gary Lockwood, and Robin Curtis.

However, things have certainly died down for the franchise compared to its prime. Shatner himself has grown up quite a lot since starring in the timeless Star Trek films from the 80s. Now being past 90, many of his fans wonder what he is doing now.
