Although Star Trek fans finally received a new movie earlier this year with the Paramount+ subscription-exclusive Section 31, the fact of the matter is it’s been almost 10 years since this sci-fi- franchise left its mark in theaters. Star Trek Beyond left the crew of the Kelvin Timeline’s USS Enterprise-A free to go on more adventures, but it no longer sounds like there’s any hope of reuniting with these versions of Kirk, Spock, etc. Instead, Paramount has reportedly tapped some stellar talent from the Spider-Man film series to tackle a new Star Trek movie, and I’m definitely interested to see what they put together.
Per Deadline, John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, who co-wrote Spider-Man: Homecoming, have been selected to write, produce and direct a Star Trek film that is described as having a “completely new take” on this universe. Meaning, it will not be connected to any of the previous or current TV shows and movies, nor is it tied to any of the other Star Trek movies that have been in development over the last several years. Daley and Goldstein already have history with Paramount from having written, directed and executive produced Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.
