The Star Trek universe giveth, and the Star Trek universe taketh away. Scorching on the heels of the announcement that the Kelvinverse timeline of function movies was lastly lifeless lifeless comes the information that Paramount has a model new Trek film within the works—and one which seems like one thing followers haven’t gotten the prospect to see in far too lengthy.
Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley have been tapped to write down, produce, and direct a model new Star Trek movie for the studio. Per Deadline, who first broke the story, the forthcoming installment will provide a totally new tackle the franchise universe, unburdened by any form of connections to present tv collection, earlier movies, or different initiatives that will or might not have sputtered out at varied factors within the improvement pipeline. (Sorry to Noah Hawley and Quentin Tarantino, I assume.) Just about nothing is understood about its plot, however the report suggests the movie will probably introduce new characters to the franchise, although we don’t technically know if that shall be in main or supporting roles.
Goldstein and Daley have already confirmed themselves succesful writers who can put recent spins on preexisting IPs. The pair wrote Spider-Man: Homecoming, and although they’ve solely directed three movies, these embody Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Amongst Thieves and the wildly underrated Sport Night time (“Oh, no… he died!”). All of this in all probability offers us a fairly good concept of how the pair may strategy tackling the world of Trek, and I feel all of us need to admit that it’s in all probability a good suggestion to get some recent eyes on this franchise.
With the tv universe busy slotting varied collection into gaps of present canon (ready on that Star Trek: Yr One announcement any day now), it’s properly previous time to let the movie aspect of issues, properly… boldly go. Inform completely different sorts of tales! Take some dangers! It’s a giant, daring, lovely universe on the market, and absolutely there’s acquired to be some pocket of it that doesn’t care in any respect about any singular occasion from James T. Kirk’s private timeline.
