Should this be flagged as "News"?
Why even bother? Just make a new TV show.
A Star Trek film not connected to anything from before just seems utterly pointless.
Because Trek is something deeper than just a few dozen characters?
I dunno, they've got some decent movie chops. Homecoming was a good film, and Dungeon and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves was extremely underrated. I'm willing to see what they have in mind.
That said, given their overall body of work, it seems pretty certain to be a comedy.
Edit: Since they worked with Pine before, maybe they can get him back for a non-Kirk role! Like maybe just a cameo, or even the antagonist?
Anything related to Tawny Newsome?
I actually did wonder if they should check in with the Lower Decks writing team. Though I'm sure they'd want to keep primary credit.
This time it's Skydance, wearing a Paramount mask.
Star Trek: Legacy-er
It isn't pointless.
It was the best thing to happen to the Spock characters since the Genesis wave.
I knew it was over years and years ago, but I wanted Star Trek 4. But I also wanted Justice League 2 and the Snyderverse to carry on and look how that turned out.
Hopefully this new Star Trek is good. I applaud them for starting from scratch. A proper, real reboot.
(Unless it's all just more Paramount bullshit, maybe in a few months they'll announce Nicholas Meyer is back to direct a new Star Trek film, and he'll be like, "what?")

No mention of J. J. Abrams.
No mention of Alex Kurtzman.
No mention of Akiva Goldsman.
They wrote the story for "The Flash" (2023).
They exited The Flash in 2019, with their script heavily rewritten by Christina Hodson, so I don't think they're to blame for the film.
But seriously...
Keeping the Snyderverse going with both Snyder AND Cavill gone seems pointless.
In other words, it was a mercy killing. Sometimes you gotta put a thing out of its misery.
I have faith in the writers based on their prior work. I don't have faith in ParaSkyViaCBSYaddaYaddaYadda since we've been down this road how many times since 2016.New ‘Star Trek’ Movie In Works At Paramount From Jonathan Goldstein & John Francis Daley

I only ask two things of this film: Keep it under a tight budget, Harve Bennett-style, and remember to have a message - say something/make it about something other than special effects and blowing stuff up.
Considering the show has kind of disappeared from consciousness since it ended, I would love a Lower Decks movie on streaming. While I didn't like Section 31, I think if they wanted to do streaming movies (Like what they did with short treks during the CBS All Access era), that would be cool.
In terms of this news story, I will believe it when I see a trailer. We've been through this song and dance before, like maybe 4 or 5 times since 2016?

Yeah, that ain't happening.
Does it matter what it's "about?" Or whether what it says is familiar, trite and repetitious? Because we've had quite enough of that from Trek in the past three decades.
