News The ongoing next Star Trek movie thread

I suppose this Origins movie could take the approach implied by that early Simon Pegg snippet about the timeline-splitting having changed the past as well as the future, freeing them to present it however they like, without regard to stuff already established by Prime. I hope not, but will deal with it if they go that way.
 
We're nearly a decade away from Beyond. There's no way a fourth Kelvinverse movie is happening with Pine and the others.
 
The origins movie isn’t going to happen. Just like all the other bullshit movie announcements Paramount has made since 2016.
I mean, of course. But if…. At this point, they could just spin it as the start of a new continuity entirely, and not continue Kelvin either.

I get the feeling that CBS/Paramount are pathologically adverse to creating yet another continuity, or mentioning that dreaded word, 'reboot.' They just want to stubbornly stick to what was done before, even if it looks and feels completely different from what was done before.
 
We live in a world where Ghostbusters or Blade Runner have gone 30 years between sequels. Next month a Karate Kid spin-off sequel show called Cobra Kai will come to an end 40 years on from the original movie.

There’s a lot of reasons a fourth Kelvin movie may never be made, but time isn’t really one of them.
 
For some reason I don't see Pine and Co. coming back for another popcorn Star Trek flick 30 years from now.
 
As much I I enjoy the Kelvin films, they didn't have near the cultural impact that any of the recently revived franchises had. Top Gun, Ghostbusters, Mad Max, Blade Runner, Halloween, Indiana Jones, etc. These were pinnacle films of the 1980s and have been ingrained into the culture.

30 years from now, the Kelvin films will simply be looked at as a small part of the massive franchise that is Star Trek.

True. There is an interesting phenomenon going on in filmmaking of bringing back crews and properties regardless of age.

And supposedly there's a Karate Kid film featuring Macchio and Jackie Chan too, despite no follow up on Chan's Karate Kid film for years.
Maybe not the whole cast but I would not be surprised if at least Pine, Quinto and Saldana were willing.
 
I was going to make a new thread but I’ll just post my thoughts here.

9 years since the last Trek movie. That’s a longer drought than NEM - 2009. Paramount has not stopped pumping out content for streaming. But they have abandoned the movies entirely.

They had something and they’ve let it spoil rotten. Why?
 
Tom Cruise needs to make a stake in Star Trek. Mission Impossible, Top Gun Maverick and Jack Reacher are all produced and funded by Cruise. The man is single-handedly keeping Paramount in business.
 
Paramount crumbling probably has something to do with it. The announcements were to boost their value for a sale (to Skydance, IIRC) which I think is currently trapped in limbo because of corporate stuff.

What about the Tawny Newsome show?
