No actual details, but "a completely new take in the Star Trek universe
and is not connected to any previous or current television series,
movie, or prior movie development projects" ... that's usually an
incredibly bad sign that turns out to be a a ridiculous "reboot"
attempt and/or an ill-fitting drivel cash-in exercise. :-(
New Star Trek Movie Announced, Directors & First Details Revealed
-----------------------------------------------------------------
A new Star Trek movie is in the works.
Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley are a filmmaking duo
who worked on the scripts for movies like 2011's Horrible Bosses,
2013's The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, and 2013's Cloudy with a
Chance of Meatballs 2. They directed their first movie together
in 2015, Vacation, before they went on to make 2018's Game Night
and 2023's Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.
Now, per Deadline, Goldstein and Daley have been tapped to write
and direct a new Star Trek movie for Paramount Pictures. They will
also produce under their GoldDay banner.
What do we know about the new Star Trek movie?
Plot details are being kept under wraps at this time; however, it
is known that the movie will be "a completely new take in the Star
Trek universe and is not connected to any previous or current
television series, movie, or prior movie development projects.
That pitch falls in line with Skydance founder David Ellison's
recent comments on an earning call where he said the next Star
Trek film would not be a sequel in the Chris Pine-led series but
something different with new actors. While not confirmed, sources
also add it's likely you will also see new characters being
featured in this version."
Further details are not available at this time. A release date has
not yet been set.
In addition to the aforementioned titles, Goldstein and Daley also
worked on the stories or scripts for 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming,
2021's Vacation Friends, 2023's The Flash, and 2025's A Minecraft
Movie. They've got an action-adventure film titled Mayday with Ryan
Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh that is also coming out at some point,
though that project also does not have a release date.
The last theatrically released Star Trek movie was 2016's Star Trek
Beyond, while Star Trek: Section 31 premiered on Paramount+ this
past January.
