Either that or a renegade Captain. TNG The Wounded as a movie.
Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley developing Star Trek reboot for Paramount
Or doomsday machine.
Boldly going... by giving us a plot we've had a dozen times before in the franchise.

I still don't believe for a second this project will get produced, just like the litany of shelved scripts over the past decade.
Yes. But let's start hating it now and skip right to the good part of fans responding to Trek films.

Again, this movie pitch was first announced ten months ago, and absolutely nothing has been done with it since. Until I see some actual production work, it’s just as bogus as the last ten years’ worth of movie announcements.
This is surprisingly promising. Something like this could be easily done for under $100 million. They're (hopefully) taking the "Hunt for Red October was the best Star Trek movie ever made" approach... grounded, a political thriller, willing to appeal to a specific audience and not something workshopped to death to have mass appeal for the summer blockbuster popcorn crowd...
It's also a sign that Goldstein and Daley were hired for having a good take on Star Trek that impressed Ellison, instead of being brought in to put a comedy spin on Star Trek like their prior films. Their most recent film was a Skydance production for Apple TV... an action comedy called Mayday that premieres later this week.
And it sounds like they want to cast a Denzel Washington-type...
Meanwhile, Training Day is streaming on Roku TV in the US, with Crimson Tide on Prime Video.

To each their own. Absolutely nothing about that proposal seems even remotely interesting to me. "Political Thriller" is absolutely the last kind of story I want to see in Star Trek.
And, honestly, impressing Ellison with a Star Trek pitch means nothing to me, because I don't believe Ellison has the slightest clue with Star Trek is supposed to be about. In fact, I consider everything about him to be anti-Trek.

Yeah, reading that gave a distinct sense of "we've been here before".
Thing with Trek - its home is the small screen. The likes of TOS and TNG were popular / successful enough to justify a foray into film, though they never threatened to approach the box office returns of heavy-hitting IPs that started out there (Star Wars, MCU). Half the fun with Trek films is getting to see the characters you know and love on the big screen.
There were always better ways to go about bring back George Kirk without undermining the sacrifice. i.e he crosses over from the Prime Universe in the 2250s to the Kelvinverse while captaining the Kelvin, mirror George Kirk, Korby builds a George Kirk android, Admiral Marcus stole his DNA and grew an Augment clone of him in a Section 31 lab.
I don't know what they were thinking with the transporter idea.

It's not science fiction at all. It falls entirely into the political thriller/suspense/mystery category, and is a lame mystery that's not particularly suspenseful or thrilling.
Sadly, we've been everywhere before...
Which is why I won't begrudge them Muppets.
Dadmiral April.
We still haven't seen Trek do a marionette episode.
We've heard it all before.
What's worse than moron-ifying Trek by making it a stupid GoTG-inspired farce?
Going back to the "institutions are bad in the 20th/21st centuries, so Starfleet is also still bad!"
I consider myself a pacifist anarchist. I hate organizations, including and especially government. That said, we've seen this WAY too many times at this point. It's been done to death. It's no longer interesting, just another way of attempting to be "relevant."
What we need from Trek now isn't what's happening in our real world. We need optimism and courage and bold exploration of the human spirit. That doesn't exclude conflict or drama, but it can't be this tired theme yet again.
You have a ship that can travel many times faster than the speed of light and a crew of highly trained specialists who operate and command it. There's a patch of the galaxy no one's been to before. The ship and its crew go there. They encounter a strange new world and civilization. Maybe more.
It's not rocket science or even warp physics, yet no one's been able to get it right since the early 2000s, with the exception of later seasons of The Orville and Project Hail Mary.

Repeatedly advancing bad-faith arguments by misrepresenting the show?
until i see a trailer, i will file this away with the multiple Trek films we've been promised over the last decade, which never happened.
Trek's true home is on TV. I wish Paramount's new management would see that.
