WandaVision Director Matt Shakman to helm next Trek movie

So apparently, Matt Shakman who directed WandaVision has been tapped to take the conn on the next Star Trek movie.

But the next Trek movie has become the Lucy and the football of Bad Robot productions. I'll believe it when I'm actually watching it.

 

So this makes the fifth announced production since 2016 by my count:

1) the follow-up that would’ve brought back Chris Hemsworth, sabotaged by Paramount because they tried to skimp on the salaries they’d already committed to for the leads
2) the Tarantino story
3) Josh Hawley’s script
4) Kalinda Vazquez’s script
5) whatever the hell this one is

 

If it does happen I doubt it will be a Kelvin movie given TV Trek has firmly reestablished the original universe. Hell, it could be a Discovery movie for all we know.

 

Believe it when I'm in the theater watching it.

 

Charlie Brown always runs to kick the football...

... and here we are!


(I kid, I kid.)

 

script by Lindsey Beer and Geneva Robertson-Dworet. .. What happened to Kalinda?
This is worse than Superman returns fiasco..

As said by others.. Belive it when my but is in a theatre

 

Kalinda Vazquez is writing the other Star Trek movie that they're doing.

You know, there's two now. This one, and the one that Kalinda Vazquez is writing. Hers was just announced first. This one second, and this one had a date attached when it was announced.

Cool either way to me. Both of them should be good... I hope.

They should be good if they keep moving forward. Set both of them during or after Discovery and everything should be fine. Otherwise put it in the Kelvin timeline, but I suspect that may be done at this point. Or start another timeline. Just don't go backwards. Because that's backwards.

EDIT:
Or rather, I'm guessing they're still doing the Kalinda Vazquez penned movie. Because I don't believe that was ever officially announced by Paramount or anyone. Variety reported it so that's the next best thing. But of course things can change. This one was officially announced though, so... it's more official.

 

Give it a few months and he’ll be gone as well.
Rather they just spent the money on remastering DS9 and Voyager

 

This all sounds like great news. Can't wait!

 

So, definitely loose money. Got it.

 

I'm old enough to remember when S.J. Clarkson was going to direct this.

 

At this point, I'll start caring when actual pictures or a trailer are released...

 

You and me both.

 

I see that Variety is still saying that the Kalinda Vazquez movie is happening.

So there's maybe all kinds of Star Trek still coming.

Keep it all different and keep it all moving forward and go.

Let's fly or whatever.

 

Here comes the Star Trek Cinematic Universe!

 

Punch it!

 

I've never seen anything quite like it. Kathleen Kennedy would be proud of the dysfunction.

 

Let's hope they're half as successful as her movies.

 

Like everyone else, I'll believe it when it happens. But I worry that with them hiring two Marvel people they think they're going to get MCU box office, and that's never going to happen with a Star Trek movie. If that's their idea of success then they will see anything less as a failure.

 

according to TM.com the idea is maybe to use the kelvin cast

and also to do with wanting mcu ppl if its going to be kelvin crossing over to prime or vice versa (how though? maybe theyve rejigged the Hemsworth ST4 and plan to bring in George Kirk, Nero, etc?)
