Paramount’s “Star Trek” focus is back in the cinema – including “Star Trek 4” (again) (again)

There was no shortage of Star Trek For fans of recent years, they have been provided, of course, they subscribe to Paramount +. But as the number of science fiction streaming series of science Strange new worlds (which has a final point set after its fifth season) and the next Starfleet AcademyThe studio behind the franchise apparently rises hopes for a return to the big screen.

If it looks like a promise you have heard before, you are not mistaken. The Restart or Kelvin film (or “Chris Pine as Captain Kirk”, if you prefer) came in 2016 with Star Trek beyondAnd there have been many rumors of new projects for almost 10 years. There was the SJ Clarkson version with Chris Hemsworth planning a return as Kirk’s father. There was the Noah Hawley version. The Matt Shakman version. And the Quentin Tarantino version, which is almost mythical at this stage.

But with paramount under the microscope after its high -level corporate upheavals (you have seen Southern parkNo?), The leaders pass control of the most precious intellectual property in the studio to prioritize the plans in the future. As Deadline reports, a profit call has seen CEO David Ellison today declaring plans to make it essential “the number one studio for filmmakers and talents in the world”.

This includes the increase in the number of films published each year, with Star Trek “A high priority.” Ellison, underlines the trade, was linked to Star Trek Since 2013 Star Trek in darknesswhich counted it among its executive producers.

“As for now,” writes Deadline, “they are developing a film that includes new characters that Andor Director Toby Haynes is on board to direct with Seth Grahame Smith Writing and Simon Kinberg and JJ Abrams producing. This is not a news – it is the film “ Origins of Starfleet ” which has been percolated since January 2024 – although it was a good reminder that we knew that this project was in preparation.

More intriguing, however, is as follows: “They also have another episode with Captain Kirk, Spock and the rest of the usual characters who also amount to producing Abrams and Steve Yockey Writing.”

That can only be Star Trek 4A film that we have known for a long time is in preparation for a certain measure, but has continued to be mixed between the directors. (Shakman, the most recently attached, left in 2022 when he was hired for Helm The Fantastic Four: First steps.) Could the studio renewed the studio to the movies on the big screen mean another announcement of director to come soon-and perhaps, Hope Against Hope, a real film to follow?
