Absolutely, I don't need to see Top Gun in space.
*blinks in Deep Space Nine*
The vast migration of Star Wars fans?
The success of TWOK?
No no, that's that Star Wars Trek.
You're right... I mean the last four seasons of DS9 are considered the worst Trek in existence by the fanbase...oh, wait...
Inglorious Treksperts allegedly talked about the Toby Haynes movie back in September, it's apparently a Romulan War film.
There was also allegedly a Janeway project scripted by John Logan that was scrapped.
Grain of salt and all that, hence why I posted it in this thread

What's this about a new TV project?
Is he trying to redeem himself or something? God does love a trier…
Did they not learn their lesson? Taking with huge grain if salt........
Nope.
Nothing against Mark Altman, but isn't it a little early to say that the reporting is accurate? Assuming we're treating Deadline's "sources" as accurate—and I do generally trust Deadline—all we know is "the project is an origin story that takes place decades before the 2009 Star Trek film that rebooted the franchise." So the only GalaxyCon detail you mention is that it's a prequel, and it's possible it even hints that the GalaxyCon information is wrong. ("The early days of human interstellar flight" would be a century before the movie; I would think of that as more than "decades", but Deadline's information may just be very non-specific so I won't rule it out.) Or is there some other legitimate report that verifies the rest? Which, incidentally, sounds suspiciously like Erik Jendreson's Star Trek: The Beginning script from 20 years ago.
But if the only thing that definitively lines up is that it's a prequel (compared to the Kelvin films) and the report that Bad Robot wasn't involved seems to be flat-out wrong, so that seems like one win, one loss, and a bunch of details that we can't confirm or deny.

I should add this in the spirit of the thread: Space.com writes "Haynes is helming this upcoming "Star Trek" film, which is destined to examine the early days of Starfleet a generation or so after the events of the prime universe's "Star Trek: Enterprise." If they're claiming the Deadline report says this, then they're reading things into the report that it doesn't actually say. But if they're saying they have independent sources verifying this (they aren't particularly clear on this point), that would at least verify the "early days of human interstellar flight" part if we treat them as a legitimate primary source.

Yeah, what they said at GalaxyCon was that it wasn't the Jendresen script (which was the subject of the panel), but it was a similar theme and set shortly after the events of First Contact. Possibly space.com are getting this from what Altman said.
So I agree, there isn't much corroboration until there's any official announcement, but the bones of what is now being reported by Deadline et al broadly matches the rumour from Altman.
There was nothing said about a John Logan show about Janeway, so I don't know where that came from.

At least that means it's not the Romulan War. I'm guessing a Kelvin-era prequel?
That would be my guess, assuming it's "decades before" the main plot of the 2009 movie rather than decades before the cold open.
Anthony Pascale speculated the following at TrekMovie: "Deadline reports the Haynes Star Trek movie is “an origin story that takes place decades before” the 2009 Star Trek movie, so presumably also set in the Kelvin Universe, assuming it is set after the attack on the Kelvin."

Didn't everyone decide ages ago that the Kelvin universe must be a pre-existing parallel universe, because the changes obviously pre-date Nero's incursion?
It's only Spock's half-arsed speculation that Nero was the point of divergence anyway.
Set the film whenever you want and call it whatever universe you like.
