Two new Star Trek films in the works

If one movie is another sequel in the Abrams series, wouldn't the second be the rumored Quentin Tarantino film which is probbly the remake of the TNG episode Yesterdays Enterprise he's spoken about wanting to make in the past.
 
One is Star Trek 4, where Chris Pine's Kirk will finally meet his father via wibbly-wobbly timey-wimeyness and the other is Quinten Tarantino's standalone movie (as in, not set in the classic continuity, the Discovery version of it or the Kelvin universe), and probably based on a classic TOS or TNG episode.

He's also spoken of remaking "City on the Edge of Forever"
 
I really liked Voyager being away from all the 'responsibilities' and messy Alpha Quadrant politics so somehow I would like them back in the Delta Quadrant. But how?? They would need to go back in.

I really liked all the 'responsibilities' and messy Alpha Quadrant politics. I'd like a DS9 continuation with maybe a splash of TNG and Voyages cameo's.

I don't think I'd want Tarantino touching Voyager! Oh imagine how sordid and grim it would be :(

Sounds more to my taste actually !

Oh, okay :) You know I would probably suck up the different tone to have any Trek back especially something that even touches on Voyager.

We're broadly on the same page here.

I may not exactly be a big fan of Voyager, but any continuation of 24th century Trek would work for me...

I personally hope to see it one day. That's in part why although I whinge about Discovery I want it to at least keep Trek alive. Then maybe one day some 24th century fantasy can continue the adventure. That being said someone or two I respect put me on to Enterprise recently and it's been a revelation!

The first two seasons were patchy. As a 'Niner I really should have loved the season 3 arc, and while it was a step up in quality, unfortunately I disliked the arc so that didn't work for me.

Absolutely loved (the much derided for fan-service) season 4 though !
 
I am tired of prequels. I would rather have the story continue and, since Voyager is the last, I'd prefer it continue from there.
 
You guys, come on, its just for fun.

Thanks Sophie. It's fun to speculate.

Personally I have no idea where things will go? I never would have thought they would reboot TOS but they did. We also have a Lost in Space reboot. It seems to be the thing to do right now.
 
I'd love to see a movie involve TNG, DS9 and Voyager. They could set it after Nemesis and have some danger that is threatening the Alpha Quadrant.
 
I just read that S.J. Clarkson - and not Quentin Tarentino, as planned - will direct the 4th episode of Star Trek's saga. It will be the fist time that a woman will direct a ST movie! :p (and she knows very well Kate Mulgrew as seeing as she directed several OITNB's episodes! ;)) However J.J. Abrams will keep producing the next movie so, Chris Pine could star it again... .

That was the plan in 2002. A "Justice League of Trek" is what Brent Spiner called it. Then Nemesis tanked.

S.J. Clarkson
She's directing the next movie, which continues on from Star Trek Beyond and will feature most of the Kelvin universe cast returning, along with Chris Hemsworth as George Kirk. It's the same movie that JJ Abrams announced in 2016.

Tarantino is rumoured to be directing the next movie after that, which will be a standalone feature with a new cast (as in, not part of the Prime or Kelvin universes)
 
Yep.

1) Star Trek 4 in Kelvin = JJ Abramsverse.
2) QT movie.

The first one has to wrap up the Kelvinverse and/or fold it back into the Prime timeline somehow. It will be the last one with that cast. I see a couple possibilities.

1) The Federation somehow gets its butt kicked by an enemy & changing/restoring the timeline seems like a good idea. This would mean Khan was movie #2 in both timelines & Voyage Home is #4 in both.

2) Or, for some reason, much of the crew is lost & a character does it for personal reason's (Harry Kim-esque). We know Checkov (sadly) is gone.

3) They somehow interact with STD on a spore drive or Stamets in the mycelial network.

I think the Guardian from City on the Edge of Forever makes the most sense. Spock should have remembered in the first Kelvinverse movie. Or the Q makes an appearance.

Anyway, they go back & save the day/restore the timeline. Thus those 4 movies basically never happened. End with the new cast in a TOS established point in time. Say, picking up Gary Mitchell.

The QT movie will be Berman era or later. Both Shatner & Stewart have said they are willing. Cannot turn that down. Again, timey-wimey stuff at play. Yesterday's Enterprise as a basis. Cast from different shows involved.

"Has to" how and why? Even if they never continue Kelvin-universe movies beyond ST4, why does everything have to be erased rather than just leaving them to continue their adventures off-screen?

It's that kind of thinking that got Kirk killed in Generations.

Never gonna happen. Don't expect any crossover between CBS' streaming series and Paramount's movies. That's why they split the timeline in the first place, so both could continue to tell Star Trek stories without stepping on each others' toes.

One of the Discovery writers said not long ago that they're not allowed to use stuff from Trek movies.

Harlan Ellison threatened to sue on the 2007-ish rumour that the Guardian was gonna be in the Trek reboot. I may well be wrong, but I doubt they'll ever use it again.

Again, not sure why the movies need to erase themselves? Every other franchise has ongoing parallel iterations (DC's universe, X-Men, Marvel etc) and Trek can too.
