News The ongoing next Star Trek movie thread

Simon Kinberg:
  • XXX: State of the Union
  • X-Men: The Last Stand
  • Jumper
  • Sherlock Holmes
  • This Means War
  • Fantastic Four
  • X-Men: Apocalypse
  • Dark Phoenix
  • The 355

A list of trash movies.

The only good movie he every wrote was "X-Men: Days of Future Past".
He wrote First Class but was left uncredited. He saved that movie with reshoots.
 
I feel like there is news on a new writer or new premise for the movie either every week or every month. I really do hope one of those things gets off the ground and I can go see Star Trek on the big screen again. I'm not really a fan of the prequel idea (When Star Trek 09 came out I wondered what a Kelvin TNG would be like) but I am just craving for something at this point.

Yeah. I just hope that Kinberg or who ever is going to get things moving soon.
 
Well, count me in as keen - simply because I would love to see another movie in the Kelvin Timeline - whether it be a continuation, prequel- just make it, and stop adding significant distances between the movies themselves.

Moar Kelvin!

Actor Zachary Quinto Told By Restaurant To ‘Take Your Bad Vibes Elsewhere’: “Zachary Quinto - an amazing Spock, but a terrible customer,” Manita’s Instagram Story began. “Yelled at staff like an entitled child after he didn’t reply to two texts to inform him his table was ready and refused to believe the empty tables in the dining room weren’t available for him despite being politely informed they were spoken for.” The potential PR dent comes at a sensitive time. Quinto stars as a neurologist in a new NBC medical drama called “Brilliant Minds,” which is set to premiere in the fall.

I didn't know he had a new show coming out. I wonder how/if that would affect him playing Spock in another movie.

His character is supposed to be modeled after Oliver Sacks.

Perhaps the inevitable Amok Time remake written by J.J. Abrams. Otherwise he could be well-and-truly plomeeked.

If this is accurate, it sounds like it will be a true reboot.

"The project is said to be set decades before the events of the 2009 movie that was directed J.J. Abrams, likely around modern times. It is said to involve the creation of the Starfleet and humankind’s first contact with alien life."
Chiming in a little late on this, but given the recent Skydance merger news, a reboot would make the most sense to me. You come in and buy Paramount for $2 billion dollars means you're probably going to do your own thing, and your own thing usually means a reboot.

The wording is a little weird from the Hollywood Reporter. Set "decades before," but "likely around modern times." Likely around modern times would be centuries before, so what to make of that I don't know.

Then there's what Variety said on the same day back in May...
Insiders say the film is intended as an origin story for the main timeline of the “Star Trek” franchise (rather than the alternate, Kelvin timeline started with 2009’s “Star Trek”), set in the aftermath of humanity’s first contact with aliens.
It is Variety and I tend to believe Variety over everyone else, but a mainline origin movie seems like a goofy idea to me. A Kelvin timeline origin movie makes all the sense in the world to me though, so we'll go with that until we know more.

The Kelvin timeline Star Trek movies are "my Star Trek" movies. They're my introduction and therefore the ones that I like... well, with the exception of the third one. I watched maybe a half hour of it and I was good. Anyway, hopefully this origin movie starts shooting at the end of the year and is ready by late-2026, or sometime in 2027 would probably be better.

In my dream world the Kelvin timeline would be where the movies and the Paramount+ series are all set going forward.

So maybe do this origin movie. Maybe do another movie, a final movie with the Chris Pine crew. Or not. Either way is fine with me. I'd honestly be a little surprised if they did another one. I'd just go and do something else. Just move forward. We'll see either way.

On the Paramount+ side, finish up Strange New Worlds by 2027. Run this Academy show for a season or two. Close it out in 2027 too maybe. Do the aforementioned Kelvin timeline origin movie in 2027. And in 2028 go forward with a Kelvin timeline Paramount+ series. Simple.

Hopefully Skydance sees it like this too. They of course have their own ideas, but this is what I would want.
 
Honestly I'm not very excited about another Kelvin movie.
Actually I would prefer a DS9 movie, a Voyager movie, a movie about the Ferengi or about the Romulan War.
Or even better, a movie about a brand new crew with a brand new ship and brand new species.
