Damn, I really hope that this news is for real and Star Trek 4 is on the way soon (Somewhat xd). I love the Kelvin Timeline and have been dying for a fourth movie, it's what got me into Trek too.
I'm just a bit concerned because if this does turn out to be genuine then we likely won't see this movie releasing until around 2023 and by then Star Trek Beyond will be 7 years old which is the same length of time between Nemesis and 09 :/.
I guess we'll have to see what comes of this and If it doesn't turn out for the best, the Kelvin Timeline is pretty much dead.

It's not dead as long as we remember it.
But he made up for it with The Orville, which is more of a Trek show than anything produced in the last 20 years.
Very true, I'm also not going to stop recreating Kelvin Timeline ships in Minecraft anytime soon!
Not enthused at all. The Kurtzman Trek stuff has been so ridiculously stupid, even when it's well produced and directed, that you can't really sell me on writers and other creative people from that team being involved. I need something more substantial to bet on... otherwise it will have to be against.
The Kelvin Trek people I think have at least one more good movie in them. But like carving it out of wood, they don't seem likely to find its shape before ruining it. They're batting performance is 2/1 against. Even if they can get one more movie I doubt they'd possess the foresight to close out the series with it. (Then we'd still be left hanging after four films, why not just be left hanging at three?)
Paramount really blew it by not calling Tarantino's bluff before he moved on. You really want to make a movie, act like you want to make a movie. Sure, let's both make a movie. (Authorship is more important to me than canon anyway. What separates a Motion Picture, a Wrath of Khan, a Voyage Home or even an Undiscovered Country from... just about every other ST film we've gotten really.)

Star Trek doesn't need saving, though. Well, neither did Star Wars despite fan outcry. They are all shooting for a different approach with Trek right now, of different elements and pieces to satisfy all comers, rather than just the tiny niche that was Star Trek through Enterprise. If Tarantino Trek got made I wouldn't watch it but I certainly wouldn't think Trek was ruined because he did.
But, I'm firmly biased. I love Kelvin Trek and it hit me right at the time of my life that I needed Kirk's story. So, give me Abrams' and his take on Trek. If I don't like it I won't be harmed in the process.

Right now I'm not actually sure what sort of Star Trek movie I'd like to see and I don't know what sort of movie can successfully be produced. Surely they can't recast the original characters again, surely a spin-off movie isn't going be popular enough (although The Return Of Sisko movie would actually be appealing to me) so what viable options are out there?
Section 31 spy thriller.
Reconstruction efforts post war (pick one) and they find a secret under the rumble that causes more conflict and our intrepid heroes must stop it.
Doomsday machine shows up.

Love it, and we here know that Star Trek has plenty of those kind of possibilities but I wonder how any of that can translate into a successful movie without having a character that is recognisable to less informed movie goers. I mean, I'd watch a Chief O'Brien led movie but I think it'd just pass people by without the usual USP of well known characters. Which I do think is problematic due to how often they've been attempted.
Honestly, my main idea is to do a Starfleet Academy style series, and use a more familiar character, even O'Brien, as a mentor character, and then interest a new crew. I wouldn't mind trying to kick off a whole new crew from the beginnig.
Vazquez wrote "Ask Not" (one of the Short Treks that served as a sort of pseudo-pilot to SNW) and "Terra Firma" (set-up for Section 31), so I assumed she was being moved into the Discovery spin-offs, possibly as a lead writer on Section 31, but with S31 being indefinitely delayed, perhaps she pushed for a movie idea in the interim.
A TV-ish writer being pushed onto the next movie makes me think that it will be intricately tied into the current "Star Trek Universe" brand of shows, and unrelated to the Bad Robot films. Could just be a TV film (or equivalent) and its status as "Star Trek 4/Star Trek XIV" called into question, although that's inevitable in the post-Cinema age we're careening towards.

Do a Captain April movie based on Diane Carey's version of the character. British, fuddy duddy. Wears a comfy sweater over his uniform. Such a pacifist he turns command of the Enterprise over to George Kirk when a battle breaks out because he can't bring himself to fire the phasers.
JJTrek is an open canvas, it should be explored.
This is going to be a stinker. There are no good scifi movies which have been written by women (ever!). Also everything this particular individual wrote turned out to be mediocre at best. I just don’t understand why they don’t just go along with the Tarantino script, pretty sure they could buy that story for a decent price.
i really hope the studio is going to reconsider its decision, the few good female screenplay writers out there won’t be interested in doing Star Trek. Why does Star Trek always have to push the female agenda over the top? They already ruined Disco and Picard with the „Beyer treatment“.
just let the men do their work, please...

If you imply, that this was an attempt to troll the thread, you are mistaken...
