Meyer involved in Trek (1)4?!

It's too early for a spin-off from DSC. The powers that be don't yet know if it will be successful, especially on the new platform. And if it is, they'll want to give DSC some time to shine in the spotlight on its own and grow before branching out with another series. So it's a film or something obscure that's targeted toward the niche fanbase.
If we get a Star Trek 4, I'll be extremely happy.
If we get a Star Trek 4 created by Meyer, I'll be absolutely thrilled.
He's 2 for 2 with Trek films and it wasn't because of luck.

I'd be very happy to have him on the next film.
If they're sticking with the Hemsworth idea, one could assume it would involve some degree of time/dimension travel.
Perhaps they plan to boost Discovery with a cross-over film, with Meyer on board to represent the show's interests.
[Yes, I know it's different studios, but the need for both to succeed might help prompt some cooperation]

That's my guess as well.
3 for 3, actually. He was a writer on The Voyage Home. For years people talked about the odd/even curse of the movies where the exception was Nemesis, I always thought of it as Meyer working on the even numbered TOS movies made those the best, and then First Contact being the only great TNG movie.
well hes done an anniversary blu for II so it cant be that. VI had its anniversary last year so unlikely?. book? hes done one for Trek (View from the bridge), comic book? nah cant see him doing that. another tv series spin off - when STD hasn't even premiered? ...nah its got to be Trek 4...maybe co writing with the ones who are writing it.. (and hopefully directing..hey you never know - MCU been bringing back some old time directors who hadn't directed anything big in FX in years and having Meyer attached would score some serious points with all the old time trekkies)

Trust me, nothing would score serious points of "all" of any section of a fandom.
Hopefully no death threats for him this time. Or, he could kill nu-Spock and go two for two on the Spock counter.

"Star Trek 5: *Sigh*, We're Searching For Spock Again".
I'm betting on TUC special edition. He said it has nothing to do with Discovery, so I doubt it has anything to do with TV, and I really doubt they'd get him to do a new movie. TUC makes the most sense to me.
Please I hope he isn't involved in the reboot because from what I remember, he HATED JJ's trek*
can we just get someone who liked the first movies and these characters and is truly inspired by them? I swear I could cry xD
Lin already was too apaethic about this trek, like have some pity and give me a tiny bit of hope it's not possible there aren't writers and directors in the business who liked this thing and can do great things with it.

(It's funny he criticizes the reboot for not being trek when I remember Roddenberry didn't think some things in his movies were trek, such as the stuff related to the klingons. Maybe he's angry with JJ because his uhura spoke klingon without a dictionary, too. How dare JJ change the characters...)

I've seen it suggested that Metyer and CBS could be involved with TV movies to stream on All-Access. I seriously doubt it, but I wonder the specifics of Paramount's exclusive Trek movie deal. Does it only cover cinematic movies, or TV/straight-to-streaming ones as well?
Hell, Meyer himself conceded in his autobiography that he broke Roddenberry's mould with TUC.
I loved Lin's work and BEY is one of my favorite Trek films in the franchise. Top 3. So I'd be very happy with the same creative team returning to write and direct ST4. The marketing team is to blame for BEY's commercial struggles, not the creative staff.
But Meyer would be a home run too. He'd offer a different take on the Kelvinverse just like he did with TWOK following TMP. Just because he was critical of JJTrek doesn't mean he wouldn't make a great Kelvinverse film -- he was critical of TMP too.

Interesting! I guess it could be a book, or maybe even a screenplay.
Nick Meyer knows how to do quality Star Trek on a budget. For this reason alone, I think it’s possible he is writing/involved in the next Star Trek film.
When one considers the commercial failure of Beyond and it’s massive $185 million dollar budget, I think it’s very possible the studio could be looking to someone who they know can deliver a quality ST product for significantly less money than Beyond...I’m thinking Alien: Covenant’s $97 million dollar budget (maybe even less $ than that) rather than Beyond’s bloated budget.
I hope this rumor is true. I’d much rather see a Nick Meyer Star Trek film on a "micro budget" than another ST film like Beyond, that was essentially two hours of things banging into each other to a Beastie Boy/Public Enemy soundtrack.

Agree, to keep the ST movie franchise financially successful they need to follow what happened after TMP big budget $40M they brought in Meyer to make WOK on a $10M budget. Star Trek 4(14) needs a person[Meyer] at the helm that can deliver a better film for less money, but it is paramount
that the script is great. These large budget film is not connecting with the movie goers.- Status
