![]() ![]() So it’s relatively certain this time around. Though I don’t want to get my hopes only to have them dashed, but Paramount did say production should begin in late 2022. But it has seemed like the idea of Star Trek 4 was so long gone that this is like a dream come true. Maybe it’s that Star Trek: Beyond really came into its own as a Star Trek movie and brought us exciting new characters to work with (like Sofia Boutella’s Jaylah). There’s something about the Kelvin timeline that is just exciting and feels fresh. ![]() (Meaning someone who will take my phone and direct this movie myself if I have to.) So to have him back in conversation and the movie going forward? That’s all incredibly promising to someone like me. Then there was the extended period of time when Pine was out. We also briefly thought we’d get the Star Trek movie franchise’s first female director, which we would still very much like to see in the future. The movie had a phase where Quentin Tarantino was directing it with a Noah Hawley script and where there would be both Chris Hemsworth and Chris Pine meeting. The fact that Paramount made this announcement is a big deal. Shakman is currently at work on the script as well as Josh Friedman and Cameron Squires, who worked on a draft first dreamed up by Lindsey Beer and Geneva Robertson-Dworet. Does that mean we’ll have to save some whales again like in Voyage Home? I wish, but we’ll have to wait and see. It may not be sexy but bringing back the surviving cast from Beyond, with Sofia Boutella replacing the dearly departed Anton Yelchin as a cast member just makes the most sense.If this movie goes in theme with the rest of the Kelvin timeline, there will be nods to the original series movies within it. Sure, on their own they’re great, but together you’re going to have too much of a culture class to work. It’s like putting Trent Reznor as the producer of a Taylor Swift album. Some properties and some creators just don’t mix. The last thing we need is a Star Trek reboot of Django Unchained. Shows like Lower Decks already alienate itself from Gene Roddenberry’s more earnest idea of Trek and Taratino’s film may actually kill whatever essence of that ideal that Trek has left. As for Tarantino’s version of Star Trek hard pass. Hawley’s film wasn’t good enough to get put into production even before the pandemic and now that the country is thrust into the middle of this mess, it’s entirely unlikely it’ll ever see the light of day. If those are the only three options that Star Trek should go towards, then it makes sense that it’s the sequel treatment to Discovery. Hawley’s movie is one of three Star Trek film projects that Watts and Paramount are currently considering, along with Tarantino’s R-Rated version and another written as a sequel to Justin Lin’s Star Trek Beyond. The other two films that are rumored to exist are of course Noah Hawley’s Star Trek, which was rumored to feature a galaxy-wide plague story, and Quintin Tarantino and his R-rated version, which apparently isn’t dead just yet. Yes, there is apparently a sequel to Beyond and while some may give the film harsh reviews, it’s important to note that the rumored sequel scrip isn’t necessarily tied directly to the events of Beyond, just that it’s a sequel to it. Which one is that? The one that features as a sequel to Star Trek: Beyond. If Paramount is hell-bent on doing a fourth Star Trek film in the Kelvin universe featuring Chris Pine, the best bet is to just do the script that makes the most sense.
