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.

Well, we already had an incredibly bad reboot [1], so one more won't
make any never-mind.

Except every idiotic reboot adds its own new level of inconsistency and silliness, so further diluting and confusing the franchise. :-(

You just have to look at the comic books. They've have so many changes
over the years that now nobody know what "Batman", "Superman",
"Spider-man", etc. actually are any more.

Only if you take them seriously. The ST reboots I ignore (having seen
the first two or three, BTW). The James Bond reboots (now that they
are complete) are something I am considering ignoring.

Although if they pushed on with the 007 in the last one /and/ returned
to actual James Bond films instead of technothrillers like any others
which happen to have James Bond in them, that might be interesting.

You just have to look at the comic books. They've have so many changes
over the years that now nobody know what "Batman", "Superman",
"Spider-man", etc. actually are any more.

I don't read the comics, but the graphic novel /Crisis on Infinite
Earths/ and some of the DCAU films that show clearly different
realities suggests that a lot of confusion is from someone having a
"great idea" and nobody in Editorial having the guts to say "no".

So we end up with a Multiverse, in which the characters are whatever
they need to be for the story at hand because any variant is in the
Multiverse /somewhere/.

Considering that Dr. No was one of the earliest technothrillers filmed,
I think you have that backward. All the technothrillers are Bond movies without James Bond.

You know, I'd be fine with this approach if they featured
a different ship. It could be interesting to see a ship
in some role other than exploration and first contact.
There are other parts of the history which could be
filled in, as opposed to rewriting existing history.

Sorry.

/Dr. No/ was a James Bond film. It is about James Bond from start to
finish. His mission is to find what happened to Strangways and rectify
the situation.

Even the nuclear reactor is only there so it will explode in the end.

BTW, the book didn't need a nuclear reactor for Bond to succeed. The
film had it only because they wanted Dr No to be more than just a
guano mine owner who doubles as the KGB Paymaster for the western
hemisphere (replacing Mr Big after /his/ encounter with James Bond).

The reboots are not James Bond films. They are far too serious. And
the buildings are far too modern. And the plots are ... the only one
that I found satisfying was /Quantum of Solace/, which is saying
something.

They do, however, make me appreciate the earlier films. Even the line
"We'll cut him off at the precipice" now seems like a welcome touch of
humor instead of an utter groaner.

That's what "Enterprise" tried to do .. and failed miserably.

Deep Space Nine and Voyager also tried at and were more successful.

The problems occur when some new idiot in charge starts making up their
own silly ideas that don't fit with what has already been established.

I had a weird relationship with Enterprise. I didn't look
forward to it, but when I did watch it, I generally
enjoyed it. I eventually concluded that it was a good
show but not good Star Trek.

I dropped out, though, so I missed the ending everyone
hated.

I stopped watching Enterprise after about ten minutes (or whenever it
was the first idiotic soft-porn "Oil Me Up Scotty" so-called
'decontamination' scene started. It was patently obvious they were
simply going to sink to the gutter-level to boost viewer numbers.

I dropped out, though, so I missed the ending everyone hated.

Most real Star Trek fans loved the ending (even if like me they never
saw it), because it made the entire show a complete load of nonsense
that can easily be ignored. :-)

Right. Unlike the orion slave girls, mini-skirts & braless yeomen of TOS...

Interesting point! Everyone hated the decontamination
scene, but it wasn't anything new. Our tastes had
changed, I guess. A prequel may attract those who take
the world more seriously.

I pretty much ignored Boobyprize, V?ger, and Disco; Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds aren?t too bad; Pic-a-card had problems, but was better than Boobyprize or V?ger and far better than the utter disaster that was Disco. Whoever green-lit Disco should be condemned to life in a Klingon penal
colony.
