After orchestrating the Marvel/Disney+ series WandaVision to a 23 Emmy nomination haul, Matt Shakman has made a deal to direct the next untitled Star Trek film for Paramount and Bad Robot’s JJ Abrams.

The Kelvin timeline lives? Or will this be set in the Prime timeline?

any leaks regarding the script?

 

[nush]

I don't think this is actually going to happen any time soon.

Shame, I was hoping for Tarantino to take a shot.

Deadline hears the film will now move at warp speed and begin production next spring.

With the JJ-era cast being a little older, perhapse they could dial down the action and have it more like the OG films.

There’s no active prime TV series running that would make sense to make a movie out of…

but the Kelvin timeline needs to be killed.

…maybe this will be a bridge movie that somehow connects the two in a closure type of way?

we've had the villain of the week and big names like the borg, klingons, romulans, khan and secret starfleet. it would be good if there was something original as an antagonist.

beyond had a couple of good character moments, they should go for a slower pace and build out the story. the big explosions were never the selling point of trek.

That's........ actually a damn good idea. Not sure about Tom Hardy as Picard. I think Ralph Fiennes would better fit the bill for Picard.

Boooo, you totally skipped over Margot Robie as Tasha Yar and Jennifer Lawrence as Ro Laren! I'll even allow a gender swapped Wesley Crusher if it's Emma Watson

I don't know if the world is ready for live action alien tentacle porn and space drugs.

It'd pretty much be a live action Rick and Morty.
